[SASKFARMER]

Well it’s AGRIBITION WEEK SO What else is new it’s usually cold. Good show for livestock guys with rodeo also at night.

Hot buttered rum

Try rounding off dinner with some hot buttered rum. Sweet and spiced with cinnamon and nutmeg, it's a warming treat for cold evenings

Ingredients

1 tbsp soft light brown sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp ground nutmeg
100ml dark rum
2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
2 cinnamon sticks, to serve

Method
STEP 1
Combine the sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg in a small bowl, then gradually pour in the rum and melted butter, and stir together. Evenly divide the mixture between two small heatproof glasses. Top each with 100ml boiling water and stir well. Serve with a cinnamon stick to garnish.




Ah that should warm you up.

Well the elevators in our area are sure moving grain and the trains are arriving almost on time.

Sask crop insurance is going to screw the guys with great experience discounts under the new system I’m thinking but it should get the crop insurance farmers.


Trudeau wants my hunting rifles he can **** right off.




Again why do we have a federal AG MINISTER THAT NO ONE EVER HEARS FROM OR SEES.

first the stupid got rid of Christ in Christmas now some malls have no Santa it’s a fairy princess.

Might loose millions today in grain it’s going to suck.

Rent is peaking at $200. In Manitoba is Sask close behind with $150 or more. Cheap rent is gone boys and girls for a while.

Christmas with family then neighbours and finally my folks this weekend before we leave.

Flights are crazy expensive this winter.

Enjoy the week and merry Christmas.

Started getting quotes back for the next rink building wow is all I can say price has gone up.


Stats can is out in 15 min could be a interesting day.

Canola can be used in USA for biodiesel but not much is used in canada.

[Old Cowzilla]

Judging by the amount of bred cow sales for Manitoba this month those high rents are kicking the cows off to grow more canola doesn't matter how good the dirt is. Not many at dinner (corn silage seed sales ) meeting the other day compared to 10 years ago. Maybe they should have had spiced rum at meeting !

[SASKFARMER]

The cow falling numbers worry me as a grain farmer on frost and we have a lot of shit wheat to sell into feed, and with nothing to eat, we will get ****ed hard.

We need more cows.

Canola production rises despite the lower harvested area
Canola production increased by 32.1% nationally to 18.2 million tonnes in 2022. Yields increased by 37.6% to 37.7 bushels per acre, while harvested area fell 3.9% to 21.2 million acres.

Canola yield in Saskatchewan increased by 48.0% to 37.0 bushels per acre, offsetting lower harvested area (-4.8% to 11.4 million acres), resulting in a 41.0% production increase to 9.5 million tonnes. Despite better growing conditions overall, conditions in the southwestern and west-central parts of the province remained dry, possibly impacting provincial production.

In Alberta, canola production was up 28.8% to 5.6 million tonnes, due to higher yields (+31.8% to 38.1 bushels per acre) offsetting lower harvested area (-2.2% to 6.5 million acres).

In Manitoba, canola production rose 14.4% to 2.9 million tonnes. Harvested area decreased by 5.0% to 3.2 million acres, while yields rose 20.5% to 39.4 bushels per acre.


Wheat harvest is the third largest on record
Total wheat production rose by 51.7% to 33.8 million tonnes in 2022, the highest production since 2020 and the third highest production on record, largely attributable to higher production in the Prairies. Yields (+38.2% to 49.9 bushels per acre) and harvested area (+9.7% to 24.9 million acres) were both up from a year earlier.

In Saskatchewan, wheat yields increased by 47.3% to 41.4 bushels per acre in 2022, while harvested area rose by 13.5% to 13.1 million acres, resulting in a 67.2% rise in wheat production to 14.8 million tonnes.

Alberta wheat production climbed by 76.7% to 11.3 million tonnes. Yields increased by 59.8% to 55.6 bushels per acre, while harvested area rose by 10.6%. Wheat yields in the province were at their highest level since 2020 and above the five-year average of 49.2 bushels per acre from 2017 to 2021, as timely precipitation contributed to greater production.

Both yields (+21.3% to 58.1 bushels per acre) and harvested area (+4.7% to 3.0 million acres) increased in Manitoba, resulting in a 26.9% increase in production to 4.8 million tonns

Oh one more thing Last day for deer hunting is today get them one last time

We need more cows.

In time there will be alot of producers that wish they had left the fences around the land. Everything is cyclical. What happens when feed wheat is 4 bucks again? If you own cows and guys want to feed them, they will be paying more for less supply of calves. Many dispersals of reputation herds. They are not coming back.

[Partners]

If those increase yields are correct.
Start seeding June 1st next yr.
Don't worry about a cold wet may..

Cows only ever work with very cheap land and labor.

True. They don't pencil out with today's land prices.

Throw in a drought and it gets worse.
