Friday crop report on a thursday!

[BTO780]

When I take grain samples to the various crooks I NEVER put down the bushels on each bag.
They have gotten used to that and never ask for it.

I’m only asking for grade and protein. They don’t need to ask me any questions.

If they are receiving real time data collected and map able with Google Earth interactive maps the only thing missing is the grade and protein?

You can bet every location you deal with has an "file" on all you transactions for the last 30 yrs.
This will just become an extension to that.

Head office will refine it to set profitability goals for the local manager,regionals, export terminal, etc.

The multi-nationals that adopt and adapt the quickest will swallow the ones that don't.

Conspiracy theory for the day?

More acres are going to cloud all the time. Some have great maps that you can really drill into. I can tell you the exact return on fung for example.
They claim it isn't shared, ha.
Sat info being used anyway.
Grain cos know by what's on the books and area avgs.
You're not really hiding anything and there's value in some of it. Some services, not as much. Haven't answered StatsCan in 10 years.
FWIW, I've tried Trimble, Case, and CF.
Case may or may not have after years of fumbling. Trimble a sad joke. CF is slick and easy. Just reads in the background. User friendly.

What difference does the grade and protein make they can pay you what ever they want for what ever you have. You just have to agree with them or move on. Like buying and selling anything else. Does the price change with the amount you have for sale because the quality and protein don't?

The vegetative maps from space have turned out to be a bust because they cant correlate oilseeds in pods or grain in heads.

The only yield monitor I calibrate is when it goes in the bin. They arent getting my data for free and then harm my marketing efforts.

Thats just coffee talk, way different than my combine sending it too them along with the acres.

L340 up a minimum of $50 a bag over what I paid last year, this is ****ed.

We planted 5 plots this year. Just swathed them. L345, L343, 2 Pioneer 506 and 516 and a Liberty Link called Croplan, can’t remember the number, but it is cloubroot resistant, it has some degree of shatter resistance and was $80 less a bag than my 345. It swathed good and pod integrity wasn’t as good as 345 but was decent. Looking forward to the results.

I actually had a buyer this yr offer me almost .25c more a bu if I sold them quantity amounts of my #1 cwad vs 1x or 2x loads

Here the low protein is all coming from low areas, the pieball just rolled in like crazy in nearly every low area and draw

Even to the west of here where they were blessed with a little more rain and much of the yields could be called good even by SF3 standards the Wheat is piebald and small shrunken kernels.

No shortage of fertility or any significant disease pressure.

Another odd thing I have never seen before is tillers with stem about as big as mig welding wire with a big head bent over touching the ground. Too low for the cutter bar but makes it appear to be header loss or sawfly damage in the stubble.

Ya same here in some fields , field edges and thin areas
