Friday Crop Report on a Thursday.

[SASKFARMER]

Good morning, if you’re done harvesting I would say the crop wasn’t so good and Sask Ag should quit being so proud we’re almost at 70% done. Like it’s a badge of honour.

We hit the 37% done and now have a rain delay from last nights showers, south of us way more rain.

Yes yields are better province wide than some thought thanks to late summer rains and the smoke. I would say 5 to 10 bushels better.

Crop report.

Peas lentils all done and guys are fall spraying these fields plus working stubble or harrowing. Yield good to excellent in our area.

Barley harvest is all done except for late seeded or green feed. No frost yet. Yields were good but maybe not highest ever in our area.

Oats some fields are harvested but yield is down from last year. Later seeded look better.

Hrs and Durum harvests are getting wrapped up slowly. Yields are good to excellent. Still can’t get 100 bpa across the board but trying. We still have lots to go. Protein is 11.5 to 15.

Flax some has been harvested and results are ok.

Canary seed harvest are happening and yields are great.

Canola we have done 800 acres it’s not last years big yields but it’s close and good. We did pod shatter resistant stuff that’s not true pod shatter and very happy with results. Some now getting into canola and really surprised.

Pastures are greening up and green feed seeded late is getting cut.

Basically it’s a normal September fall run, couple good weeks and our area will wrap it up. Over 10 in in growing season helped out.

Take care and keep safe. It’s only a crop and they are working over time to take it for nothing.

Not that you don’t know what ur doing but I will say if ur trying for 100 on canola or wheat, I’d look up Dennis Bulani and get his wild ass mix. If he can do it in butt F$&? biggar, you’d get there no problem…..

Dennis has irrigation on his own stuff
No doubt he pushes the yield limits, but also your wallet.
They do get very interesting and detailed info though . 100x more than any line company .
It’s like an all you can eat buffet, just need to pick over what suits your farm from their data .
But ya , in high moisture areas , his wild ass mix can push crop yields no doubt .

You just have to be careful how much you spend cause when the rains stop , and they will for everyone at one time or another , when one gets to **** sure
Like our agrologist said this spring, when we were thinking about manipulator , extra N , etc, “keep some for yourself “
I never thought we would be cut off rains like we were in the swamp , but it can happen anywhere
The 30 % we fungicided gave us back nothing, and I mean SFA !
Done lots of test strips and checked with cart , if was a complete donation to chem CO’s , so when they show you these slides showing that you always get your money back it is complete and udder horseshit

They have to have their winter meeting in Florida to come up with more useless new varieties and chemicals. Someone has to pay for the golf, food, etc.

Some that have tried the full meal deal here the past 4 years are now done or struggling hard this year . Without moisture it’s a complete waste of money to shoot for the stars . There will be only one winner , and it ain’t the farmer .
Here we get the right conditions maybe 2/10 years . So 80% of the time you are donating to the input companies vacation funds

Maximum yields feed the ego?

Optimum yields feed the family?

StansCan is staffed with utter morons.

Our outfits could have gotten finished and parked for the winter in a couple of days but 3/10 rain here yesterday will delay the celebration by some, but the forecast looks great for the next week. That should have pretty well everything cleaned up around here. Average yields in this small pocket, happy with that considering what could have been if we would have missed a couple of 7/10 and 1 1/4 inch showers around July 18. When will we see those general 3-day rains that sent us on a fishing trip back in the nineties? Hurry on back Rain Man.👍

50-60 bu on canola and durum is the economical target. Not going to try for 100 unless we have much better insurance backing in the business, especially with the regs on tap for this business. Maybe in the US they can do that, but thats a much higher risk profile here in Canada.

We have some canola in that 50-55 range, no fungicide, no pre harvest. The excess moisture we lucked into and that month of cool nights made the difference more than any agronomy could.

[furrowtickler]

We will try to push yields on one field of canola and wheat if conditions are there . If not, like this year , best to just save money for bugs if they become a problem. Lucky this year , no issues other than some grasshoppers. A lot of areas not so lucky .

I know the rain will end here and frost will hit us again or massive rain that's farming
It's a goal of mine to see if I could hit it one day. A goal not betting the farm on it just an interesting goal.

Now today were probably shit down with 1/4 inch or less it will depend on the rain but a nice 5 day window is coming.

With 3 X9's/50ft heads can you do a 1/2 section of wheat in 4 hrs?

[SASKFARMER]

Couple hours a quarter

Don’t believe mother deeres claim of 30ac/hr in heavy spring wheat…..

Them there X9’s are a 22-23 ac/hr machine in heavy wheat. At that they are 15-20% larger than the other greenish combine…..
