[furrowtickler]

We had 1.4 inches over the last six days,too late for 90% of crops.Now forecast looks like rain every second day,mother nature sure can be cruel.

Yup , but farmin so easy they say

[Goodtime]

I love how the dunce Mackenzie Hladun from the ministry of Ag on ctv this morning made it sound like crops are really good across the province, like how the f u c k do people like her have jobs. Also said people in the south west are doing very well and positive!!!! I actually can't believe this crap wow.

[furrowtickler]

She should get fired immediately

Lunatics at the helm. Who is Ag Minister?

My daughter in law went to Moosejaw last weekend. Not sure what the Saskatchewan Ag rep. is saying, she said the crops were short and thin all the way. Certainly very sad.

Not a sping wheat chart but to good to pass.

Yield highly variable here ,hrsw , probably end up the same as freight shaker , 70 % of ave so far
Some will be 50-60% after gauging this first one
Fortunate in way , as many others have far less , but only 15 miles west is a huge crop , again . Always just out of reach
Take what we have I guess and hope better for next year for those who will desperately need it

In 2021 we started combining swathed wheat same day

Will get to about 70% done our wheat tonight if it don’t rain early. Large enough sample size to say its SCIC for us. Maybe start field of canola in a week but I’m guessing the same 70% of normal.

I hope you bought the Extra Fine cut chopper SF3. The other one is brutal in tough straw. Onlybhad one field that it made a mess, guess lesson learned on that.

Rained out here , got all but a few swaths left in a plot . The rest of swathed wheat is off
Wait and see now how much rain we get , unreal when you want zero rain , it rains

Yup, in my 55 years, majority in our spot on earth are TOUGH harvests. Dryer a must for wheat. Swathing only if forecast can be trusted. Canola country, rain actually makes it easier to harvest.

Got a shot here last night. Lucky we’ve had a couple shots so canola pods won’t shrivel to the seeds. Been counting seeds in the heads and for as good as stands look from the road nothing will be much more than average at best.

What is your method for estimating yield? Think my average seeds/head is 30. It’s just determining plants per square foot. I’m on a 10” space but a lot of the calculators give all kinds of answers. It’s funny the seed per head in the hills is better than on the level good land but plants per foot looks better. Oat crops are lousy but barley is probably the best looking crop I have. Weird year.
