Friday Crop Report on a Thursday

[woodland]

Once the supports were moved off the Center beam that gave us lots of room for the distribution manifolds to be installed under the tank out of the sun and still easily accessible.


Set up the way we envisioned now , hopefully works out . Will be used for all the canola , peas , soybeans, corn and the new small faba beans if we need to .
Will also do 60 ac of wheat again beside the ole bourgault now that this one is set up similar.
Last year was not a true test and machines were set up differently for fertility.

Very nice and neat looking job there. 👍

One low spot with compacted clay that I ran a few passes last fall just to see …


Water definitely infiltrates quickly and did not pool . Just hope those areas stay firm enough to hold machinery .

Was one of the best combines we ran . The new series was a train wreck . Those 9790’s and similar challengers were well made and balanced very well for power and capacity. Nice simple machine 👍

Snow around here pretty well gone. Very little runoff, either soaked in or evaporated. 80% done calving. With all the fog in the winter certainly expecting an April snowstorm, no fun with the cows but we need the moisture.

Furrow certainly think the Seedmaster SR is the perfect Canola machine, not convinced it will work for cereals. Looking forward to hearing how it works.

Woodland your cows look in great condition. Always get a kick out of your posts.

Started supplementing the calves some barley as the last field of grazing corn is petering out. Blow the air horn on the truck a few times and a few minutes later they come from a half mile away.
Starting to count down days till every cow guy’s favourite time of the year………….. grass time! Hopefully there is some moisture and maybe in 40 days they can be turned out.


The oldest daughter got back from 4-H multi judging where she placed first👍 and wanted to come out tagging. Usually it’s just me and my headphones out on the quad with something like AC/DC or Tom Petty in the background so some company is always great.

Fun times………. Bring on spring🍀

Just out in your neck of the woods today on a parts run at your neighbours. Sure no snow compared to what we had. Nice country.

Western dry areas will miss most of this one

[seldomseen]

I would be very happy to miss this storm.
All it would do is add more runoff headed off to Hudson Bay and the longer the water runs the more likely you are to get washouts that are a pain to fix.

Ya that’s the frustrating part , those that need it will miss it , those that don’t want it are going to get hit .
Hopefully it does not create too much of a mess for yous out east

It's been years since we've seen moisture in April out here !

Thank you !

Same , I remember 2000 , just west of here got 2 feet wet snow about this time of year. We had some rain and then around 10 inches. Was a crop maker cause it never rained much after and then had 2 years bad drought .
Hopefully we get the next system around the 27th
Very few times since we had decent moisture in April
