Friday Crop Report on a Thursday.

I had a grain trader on Twitter tell me that it's the dry area of the prairies and doesn't normally contribute much to total production anyways.

Wonder if that is because they make more off # of Tonnes handled than off blending these days. The other thing is they didn't talk about quality, drier area usually grows the higher quality that brings more for blending purposes and hits higher markets.

WTF!!!!
I’ve heard it all now.
Funny how those crooks keep calling us for product.

North of 16 a #1 is an exception rather than the norm of a #2. We get gaslighted I swear when yields are great here but elsewhere suck and buyers try to lowball.

I have an absolute mess on my hands CWAD wise. It looks ready to go from the road, but a biblical infestation of Russian Thistle below the canopy is JUST starting to show up from the road and fields are getting greener. I knew there was some, but thought we could grunt it through. 2nd major factor is the mid to late July rains that gave durum plants the idea that they should tiller out and go for it. Green kernels are on the backside of the watery stage, and will be into soft dough likely in 5 days or so depending on how much heat we get...

so... question for guys considerably more versed in preharvest chemical applications than I am...

-If I nail a tiller that is in watery to very early soft dough stage, will it shrivel up and blow out the back end of the machine? Im suspecting that if I wait for this stuff to get to hard dough stage we're looking at another 14 minimum days, potentially 21, which then would meet the restriction for pre harvest application on the thistle, which with "nice weather" could mean 14 days till harvest. That puts me at 28 to 35 days from now... October... And pre-harvest starts to take ALOT longer in the back half of september than the early days of september. Dilemma is wait and potentially get 1-5% more in quantity, vs terminate now, and hopefully preserve quality.

Honest to god, a small part of me was "hoping" for a VERY localized HEAVY frost on my acres with this last full moon... Just get this god forsaken year over with. I generally hate winter. But at this point, Im looking forward to it!

We have had that nightmare scenario before , wanted to quit farming after that fall
No easy or right answer to that situation

Obvious guess? Parked hot or running on some tall stubble touching the exhaust and got a fire going?

If thats the case, I have often worried about that happening.
