Friday Crop Report on a Thursday week 27

[SASKFARMER]

Oh year besides the Vegan thing with Ottawa and also in Europe they are charging farmers a fart tax on Cows now there is a strike at the ports.

**** farming is fun isn't it.

[furrowtickler]

Canola 27 x 13 = $351.

Barley 60 x 4 = $240.00

Peas 30 x 9 = $270.00

Wheat 45 x 7 = $315.00

All lose money at

150 rent

300 inputs

100 equipment

Wage = $0.00


The problem this year most are just above crap insurance and Ag Stab is a joke.

Absolutely 100percent correct

thank You for realistic numbers for the 80%

[Old Cowzilla]

The farting yearlings will have to pay most of the bills this year. Should finish canola today (shitty field drowned out ) . Have a 1/4 of beans to do they look good but not ready yet.

[furrowtickler]

I agree and take out the lower crop insurance next year because of years of drought.

In our area the $150.00 acre rents and $800,000 a quarter purchases.

will thin out the herd.

That’s the crazy thing here
the same numbers here with generally 70% of your area yields
it’s a bizarre situation in this area that make absolutely zero sense anymore

[zeefarmer]

You think your area is crazy Furrow, we have the same cash rent (125-150) and as high or higher prices for purchasing (800k-1000k), and our yields are typically 70% of yours and the past few years are 25-50%. Drought and higher costs and interest rates have not slowed either from climbing

Ya none it it remotely makes any sense here , let alone your area
it’s impossible to be sustainable at all

[FarmJunkie]

I don’t wish this ever but the system is rigged to lull people in our business to believe they are in control or smarter than the system. They forget about the bad times or for the younger in the business that have never experienced these situations. I grew up with it and was reminded by my father and grandfather that just because u make the best decisions at that moment in time doesn’t mean they work out in your favour. Whether it’s Mother Nature or the system both are uncontrollable and can screw up any of the best made plans no matter how smart u think u are. Part of being human means we have qualities that make us fallible and the worst quality is that of greed. When u have old and young guys in this business that don’t know when enuf is enuf or what it means to live within your means these are the results when the system squeezes us and Mother Nature kicks us in the nuts all at the same time. Hopefully most of us survive this shit show.

Farming soooooooo easy …. Tweety said so

[Old Cowzilla]

Can't seem to jam $40000.00 worth of canola into a superbee this fall. WTH ! are they making the trailers smaller this year?????

I think my trailers are larger this year? Combined a 130 acre piece of canola and moved to the next quarter to finish filling them.

We did a field of l358 which ran 34bu/ac. Moved across road onto a field of 233 and it’s running less than 20. Seeded two days later. Same land , rain , everything else.It was slower to develop. Trucker went from kinda busy to not busy at all, lol. We think it just got heat blast at wrong time.

[GALAXIE500]

I got a few 1/4s for sale at $800,000 ! That is crazy money. Mind you in Alberta that would be considered a "deal".
