Charlie, if the fairway breaks to the left for me I do much better than on straight ones ;-)

[charliep]

I should explain I hit straight all the time. Straight into the brush/woods. Straight into the water. Straight into the sand.

But Charlie in the Real world Saskatchewan We have no guarantee price option like Alberta. Sorry its all or nothing. Just saying all this BS about this huge crop and how come. Ill say it again how come we made way more money in the late 70s with canola the old way than we do now. Yes the 50 plus yield is nice but add in your seed and chem and fert costs and guess what its not like it use to be. Melfort tisdale the land of milk and honey ask any one who farms up their if they make more now or back then. Work hard when home play hard when gone. Party like your Irish.

Back in the 70's 90% of the canola was grown on smf.

[SASKFARMER3]

Yes that's correct Ill give you that one but did you make more per acre growing bin run canola with treflan on SMF than you do now with Hybrid and all the extra I'm starting to think were becoming like CORN and "Soy" the chem make the money and us farmers keep digging a deeper hole. Hey Charley have fun hitting that dam ball around it drives me nuts chasing it. But their is BEER carts near by so always a good day.

[furrowtickler]

No - and - yes. Spread out the production over 2 years and hybred canola on stb can and does produce a more profitable return - but with more risk. And yes the cost of seed is much higher today than back then.
Remember that canola on stb yeilds were 20-25 now we are hitting over 50.

break down gross income. The inputs compared to total should be illegal.

[cottonpicken]

Wonder what the price of canola would be if we went
back to old technology.

[SASKFARMER3]

Higher than what it is now probably its old dollar a bushel higher than Soy. But no lets produce 20 million acres by 2018 so that producers can get paid 4.00 a bushel like hrs and durum or will it be like oats and barley.
