Friday Crop Report on a Thursday!

[SASKFARMER]

each farm is different a 1000 acre farm with zero debt makes money or loses depending on operator

wanting to be like the next guy when you don’t know the situation never works

amount of debt to one farm is different from each farm it depends on how much rope you want to dangle

do the best with what you have or are given

just enjoy what you do

Sheep, I've said before I'm a little jealous. Able to beat inflation, (retain earnings for growth) and feed the family well. You have low costs and good stable margins. You are living the dream, enjoy.

Don’t be. Haha. We all have our issues let me tell you. It’s not about being like the next guy. It’s kind of about trying to understand the differences in farming and not looking only at acres or cash reserves, or debt really. Not looking down on the BTO, or the little guy. It is hard to take when you hear things about how “he only has 1200 acres, look at his pathetic setup, he’s lazy, or what is wrong with him?”

It has taken me many moons to say heck with it, I’m not like everyone else. I still mess up in my misunderstanding like I did a bit in this very thread. Believe me, I tried for a couple decades to get acres, build machinery and bins, and one year stopped me in my tracks. SF said it well in the last post as well.

How deep are you running those ripper shanks?

[woodland]

Some days things come up and literally throw you off track😉



The loader couldn’t quite pick it by itself. The hoe was called in as reinforcements.


Using some finesse to coax the runaway track back on. It’s the first time it’s come completely off and did it for no apparent reason. Things never get dull around here😎

Did you get her back on?

Tires seem simple ?

Failure is not an option 😉

Ya but we have far too many of these getting deposited in the fields every year. Doing inner duals isn’t much fun either. All tire work is done in house as well. Our 4-H club is doing tire recycling next week and we’ll fill a stock trailer from our stockpile here.

Just deep ripping a few areas where compaction was kicking my but

[furrowtickler]

2.5 to 3 ft

Brillion……….. there’s a name I haven’t seen in a while. Ma Nature is doing compaction ripping for us with all the wide deep cracks in the clay here😎

Back doing canola. Two days ago 14 combines in fields working within a few miles. Our area isn’t done.
