Friday Crop Report on a Thursday. Week 26

[SASKFARMER]

Good morning it's raining it's pouring the old man is snoring. I wanted rain and we got a bit but Cupar is 4.25 inches so far or 22.9 inches since May 1. As a comparison, we are 11 inches since May 1.
For the week it is almost an inch of rain.

Ok, I have a Dr appointment do this quickly.

Crop Report.

Harvest has hit the 66% mark.

Hrs and Durum are 90% done. A few fields left.

Flax has started and yields are lower.

Barley is all done except the late-seeded and green feed.

Oats are almost all done and yields are lower.

Canary is ongoing but slow and twisty.

Lentil peas are long done.

The Big crop in our area Canola and harvest has begun. Early yield 45 up is in the odd field but most from 33 to 44.
It's not the last few year's yields for sure. Everyone I talk to looks 65 it's yielding 45. If it looks 10 it might make 18 and some 40 fields going 30 or less. Canola can't take days on days of plus 30 heat and shallow roots thanks to June rains.

Pastures are liking the rain along with hay fields. No one is doing second cuts.

So most are picking bakes, straw mastering or pro tilling.

Fall is here, how are others doing?

[SASKFARMER]

Looking now at 4320 4520 and 4620.

Who was the working partner for NW Terminal? They just got a cheap elevator.

Who was the working partner for NW Terminal? They just got a cheap elevator.

They never had a partner. Wait maybe Richardson was involved early but they were bought out within a year or two. One of the last farmer owned elevators, not many left. Guess they should have sold out when Weyburn did..

[SASKFARMER]

Yea we sold the two we were involved in. One made real good money one we got our money back

Harvest done around our area for awhile now. Crops , although better than last year ( grasshoppers, drought) were still well below what we would call a "good" crop for our area. Most of you guys would plow down what we call a good crop, but that is my opinion.

My numbers;

Durum : 15-19 bpa
Peas: 13-15 bpa
Triticale : 25-30

Last years durum average was 6 !

Like I said , better than last year. I can market half a crop a lot better than no crop.

We had 1.85 inches of rain since yesterday , and 1 inch on Sept. 13th. That much rain this time of year hasn't happened in our area for a few years. Sure helps me on the fall grazing for the cows , and it will help for next spring also. Hope we get another 6 inches this fall. This old country will soak her up!

Took a nice drive on the 17th . My time machine .

1.4" this week. We at 66%, canola left. Yields 35-45. Yes the heat took $$, even 12" rain never helped!

Most have canola to go, some oats and wheat.

Our wheat did best in heat. 1 - 13, 68lb/ Bu.

Next week looks fine.

We were involved in a grain elevator for about 20 yrs.,the upkeep and insurance eventually became too high.We sold for what we had into it,Always worried about a fire in that old girl, new owners spent alot on it looks good today on outside at least.

Nice old Car.

Collecting is fun.

Nice old Car.

Collecting is fun.

Got this one in the garage also.

Well, it is too wet to harvest so may as well work pea stubble every 8 years fields get worked.

Crop report thread is certainly quiet. We got done our wheat finally after weather and breakdowns held us back. On canola now. Nice looking canola just not the yields one would like. Quite certain our average yield will have a 3 in front of it now that we have done about 30% of our canola. Looks like about 60% of last year.

Setting the combine is always a fun challenge. Certainly happy with Mad finger grate concaves in module 1 on my Case combine. I was quite surprised that closing my pre-sieve actually reduced losses, made the combine easier to set and gave a cleaner sample. Learn something new every year..

Been not much going on for near 2 weeks now in area .
1.5 days last week
too wet for most field work
most waiting to spray as another flush is happening and fields still soft .
kinda like the doldrums out in the ocean with a sail boat where not much can go on
