Heard through the g**** vine that farmers south of us in Very heavy flat land are trying to get out of contracts as they fear they wont be able to meet their requirements.
1 st lentils will be down graded because bottoms sitting in water will come in tank and effect sample.
2. They didn't pod worth shit.
3. Lentils don't like a drink every day.
4. Buyers are waiting it out, yea their trying to figure how to make money on this crop. Like last time we grew them. Sold half for excellent price. Rained all year, after cleaning and color sorting etc etc. We sold 10 bushel crop for what we contracted and the rest was scrap.
Peas after harvesting half section and witnessing half the crop that I thought was their. Bins are not going to be a issue. Also excellent crop by fort and only one bag Hm.
Friend phoned from south of Melville and said he was going and it would be tough to get his seed back. Flooding at flowering took huge toll.
So If pulses are not coming off great do to the huge rains this year what makes one believe the rest will do any better.
When one walks fields or is in sprayer or plane its reality that hits way before the combine.
Yes outside rounds first 100 ft look good. Then when one goes up and down it shows the true destruction of the water. Yes their are excellent crops near by we have a few to but if your seeding 16 wheat all in row how come first two are excellent then 4 poor then two good,four superb and 4 a right off.
I feel lots of surprises are yet to come some pleasent and some not so.
