Friday Crop Report on Thursday.

[Guest]

From what Ive seen the wildlife is also very happy with the X9.

Don’t matter what colour here
All unssprayed cereal fields look like lawns

[biglentil]

Only seeing lawns on X9'd barley stubble. Maybe thats normal for barley not sure ive never grown it.

[SASKFARMER]

Our x9 s are staying on the farm for another3 to 4 years. My interest rate locked in is stupid and we’ll keep them. Warranty for 2 more etc.

[SASKFARMER]

Case and NH conventional fields are green as grass along with S series. It’s a wet fall things grow even if one seed is out the back.

I’m happy with ours and will keep.

Wow , that is green straw !

The spraying seems to do nothing or SLOW. Same here tough green staying alive. No leaves, so how can spraying effect plants?

[tubs]

Locally most crop is off
Some field work happening, spraying, harrowing and some low areas being worked .
Will leave most stubble untouched , was huge difference in this years crop .
Way too dry and warm for NH3 here yet.
We will start streaming on some 28-0-0 with stabilizer when things cool off in a week or so .
Some rain in forecast but looks very minimal at this point .
Got a pro till coming today , will go do our pot holes and low areas to blacken up to help reduce spring frost issues . Also do small kochia areas then spray them with Fierce .
Have a tree mulched coming next week to do some willows .
If time permits will do some deep ripping again in hardpan areas .

What kind of stabilizer you use with your 28 0 0 and how much. We have had good luck with humate at about 10 percent on volume.

Is that the 68 or 124 blade chopper on your X9?

[Old Cowzilla]

A ER isn't all those green fields called COVER CROPS NOW just being enviromental friendly .

[SASKFARMER]

That’s the cowboy expensive chopper that’s perfect for baling behind

Wow , that is green straw !

I can do one better. Not a brag..
Screw up had some canola sprayed 10 days after it was ordered. No follow up.
Nowhere else to go so we took it after only a few days. 7-8 ac/hr. Very very painful. Putting silage through in spots.
Had to cut some higher just to get through. Grain was all over but mixed out. Half went straight to town.
So it can be done, but not a winning plan.

You have a fine cut chopper? If you do green stuff becomes a big grunt.

The cold light emitted from the full moon last night gave us a pretty good frost, first of the year.

140 blade chopper on 9240. Enough power but not something you'd plan to do. Harder getting it to the chopper lol.
