Friday Crop Report on a Thursday.

You obviously don’t get frost end August or early September

Every year different, but its still August 60% of my cereals will be in the bin on air by the end of the month no preharvest herbi. I find the durum retains colour better, alive seed vs dead seeds. A few years ago there was a 50cent premium offered for non glyphosate durum. I dont know if thats still a thing.

Combines telling a far different story here today compared to what was taken off 5 days ago
Other areas without drenching rains , mist may be far different yup

Farming is no cookie cutter , even 10-20 miles away

Sorry to hear the passing of your dad SK, hope the coming days get better.
Will be half way swathing our canola tomorrow and only 3 more quarters of wheat to desiccate. Oats testing 16.5% in our area tonight, doubtful that we get on wheat tomorrow, calling for fog in the morning, need a few windy and warm days to get at harvest.

One of the most mature crops in the US in the last 2 decades… the crop is literally dying down as we speak… and forecasts projected that this will continue:

Crop Tour 1-2 bu under USDA, record Corn being cut for silage, as reduced forage yield and low prices, drought….

Blessings and Wisdom, safe Harvesting!

You're right my lentil acres are shrinking rapidly. Unless someone figures out a solution to Aphanomyces im about done with lentils. Pie Ball Pete i like it.

Looking at your pictures your land looks relatively flat. I pre-harvested my first field of barley yesterday. Has some smaller hills. 70% was dead ripe, 25% was close and 5% in little draws still had some green with some regrowth where it had lodged. By the time the low areas were close to ready the 70% that is dead ripe could be dropping heads. Could I swath it? Certainly but historically swathing ends up with sprouted swaths.

Crops extremely variable in most areas this year .
Add rain lately and second growth of crop and weeds not fun to deal with

Some of our hilly, variable stuff is getting preharvest herbi as well. When the crop is clean, relatively uniform, ripening nicely I don't. To err on the side of spraying is the safe and easier play.

A guy nearby ran his ground rig through a 1000 acres or more of what looked to be very even canola. Trample by sprayer tires is at least 3% stand looked like at least 40bpa. So costing about 1.2 or $20an acre in trample. Why not just call the plane for $12?

I've also seen following the drill tracks trample far less than full tire width. Header gets all that are just pushed over.
