Frost Pic from a mate

[malleefarmer]

Not good

[malleefarmer]

Oh and both wheats are stuffed the one on the right of pics is frosted in the boot as we call it both will be hayed

[SASKFARMER3]

Wow not good. Can you get paid good for the silage since it’s a dry year

[FarmJunkie]

Malle had it not froze what would that wheat have yielded?

Was a nice looking crop , should make good feed though.
There is going to be some sad faces in Peace River area and North West Sask as well if / when the combines get rolling again. A lot of crops froze to various degrees in a very big area a while back.

Been getting to -6C or so almost every night in the Peace for a week and highs of +4C. Way below normal for Sept.

[malleefarmer]

At a guess 3t to ha.

Both will be hay or grazed perhaps but think hay is the plan.

You guys cant get insurance over there for these types of incidents?

Weve escaped thus far but minus 2 forecast for sunday night monday morning coming anxiouys wait

Mallee our crop insurance would cover anything below 80% of normal yields averaged across your farm on each crop. I think it’s a really great program especially compared to cattle where you’re on your own for losses.

Just curious how that crop will pencil out going into bales vs if it had been unfrosted and threshed out?

Up here we were dry till this unwanted snow came and the crop was worth the same wether it turned into bales or bushels. Thought we’d leave it for the combine since the smoke was miserable for making dry hay and now there’s mud and flattened crop. Just my luck🍀

Here’s hoping that Jack Frost doesn’t nip your crops.

P.S. Does the frost usually line up with changes in the moon down under............ full moon seems to be when the weather changes up here good or bad.

The severity of #frosts in #WA are continuing to be felt, with 9 different weather stations under -2 degrees for over 5 hours over the 15th and 16th of September! With over 1MMT expected to be wiped off the #wheat crop.

Really great program? With this extreme weather if your in a cycle where you lost 3 3 crops like some people out of 10 your at 70% times that by 80% you are insuring 56% of what you can grow. On top of that our sask party has raised premiums and if you had the misfortune of 3 bad years by no fault of your own you get penalized on top. Kicking someone in the balls when your down plus pay those penalties not only one year but years after.
Crop
Insurance has turned into a money grab for our government.

Cattlemen have risk of price for sure but if it snows or rains or freezes the cow is still the cow.
