Each area is different.

Each area is different.

Some folks are plain ignorant. Don’t leave their area or even have an idea across the fence what neighbours have for yields. Just because your ground is capable of 40 bu wheat doesn’t mean other ground is not capable of 70 on the same given year. My ground can’t yield hay for shit but several miles away it’s amazing. Tired of jealousy. Great if sk hits those yields cause it means I might hit 50 on hrs and 40 on canola.

Only .27 cent spread between malt barley and 1 cwrs for Sept at terminal today.

Ugh! Threw up in my mouth a little

Like the squirrel?

I’m just going to say we are losing a bushel/acre/day going forward until we get rain. The white plants showing up in the canola and wheat are going to be zeros. Western Producer says bumper crop on the way, they will have to revise that headline soon. We have bare low areas from too much rain and burnt off ridges so 30% will be gone right off the start.
prediction unless it stays crazy hot then all bets are off.
wheat 45
canola 40
oats 90 light as shit
barley 75 but lots of thins.

I'll have a idea this Thursday but things are going backwards fast

[Hamloc]

Started silaging yesterday. A little early historically. First field looks to be 5 ton per acre. Same field last year was just over 10. Was going backwards fast so we had to go. This is where we feed our cows all winter, so certainly some manure but ground is compacted and must be cultivated before seeding, drying it out a bit. Hope the next field is better, will have an idea later today.

When was that seeded?
Most barley I've seen in that general area looked far too ripe to silage already.

Seeded May 30. Low areas were still a bit too green. Hilltops were turning for sure. The next field we are going to is approaching hard dough. Esma barley, not a forage barley but looks surprising decent. Neighbours Austenson up the road is taller but they are starting silaging this morning. Cutter arrived about 10 last night. Their barley was seeded May 29-30 as well.
