Trials ..

The Top Phos does appear to have earlier maturity, which does have value. Depending on rainfall timing, yield may be higher or lower.

Here is our latest pea trial at 5:30 pm this afternoon…



Wheat trial:



Got about 80 % of Killam… broke windows on house… dented vehicles broken windshield… golf ball size bounced 10’ after hitting ground…

Blessings and Prayers

Darn, that’s not the wet stuff we need, sorry Tom.

Interesting to see how it turns out…

Thankful for the Blessings… no one hurt…

Happy Canada Day!

Sad to see Tom , ya insurance helps but can also be very frustrating at times .
Glad we have insurance as well but we will see how that plays out this next week .
Insurance never replaces the man hours , months of planning , depreciation on all the equipment used and yes pride in doing the most possible to get that crop established and on its way . Especially in adverse dry conditions. Growing crops in excellent moisture and having timely rain is a much easier game .
But that farming , nothing east about it , ever.
Several farms here had no hail insurance at all . Could be tough fall for some

Actually got some pictures after fishing this morning
Very interesting now …


MAP left , TopPhos right
Same as field photo below …


Time will tell how it shakes out if we get enough moisture to fill

Without the rest of the background information, if I saw these two pictures, I would have given the benefit to the left. In my experience, the sooner a crop finishes the vegetative state and starts heading, the poorer the yield. I haven't followed the entire thread, has it been ahead of the MAP all season, and this is a way to advance maturity and hopefully also increase yield?

Time will tell but that’s the premise yup
Or it could be that regular high salt dry fertilizers inhibit early plant growth in dry conditions…. Thats my belief in all crops .

Heartbreaking.

What are your options now? I assume a long season crop such as soybeans have no hope of coming back in time to make anything? Cattle feed is worth a fortune, can you seed some silage/baleage/greenfeed, or will insurance hold you up too long?

Will be interesting to see what our hail insurance adjuster does… have a neighbor who needs to spread their manure… and now can make some feed for their cattle!

Something Good will happen, I have faith King Jesus can teach us how to be patient, and learn the Farmers age old standby…

There is always next Year!

Blessings everyone… Preparation is always the wise practice to be blessed with peaceful enjoyable lives.

Risk Management is an interesting state of mind!

Cheers, Happy Canada Day Holliday…everyone!

BBQ some steaks and spend some Happy time with family !!!

Have a Safe good day, Canada 🍁 is a wonderful nation to build a better tomorrow!
