Gold will continue to slide relative to the strength in u.s. dollar

[phoenix64]

u.s. fed will have to increase interest rates sooner than later to put pressure on wage inflation and thereby continuing golds decent further

Local crushers dont want tough! Anything over 10 moisture 20 dollar a ton penalty! Then 40!
Guy beside nailed the 20 for his 10.1 moisture! Ah farming! 2/10ths fm last night!

If I had a dryer, plan b would have started in august.

Continues to shower every second day here as well. Most are done locally or close, with just a field here and there.
West and south west - lots out yet. Very little has been done in the past 7 days.

[SASKFARMER3]

Area here 50%!
Dryer ran when needed but sparingly in September! August the peas didn't need a dryer they needed a cultivator and a match!
Rain late last night!

I live in east central myself
And it's been frustrating.
Late cold start this spring so couldn't start harvest early.
We finally got our power upgraded to 600amp from 200 after 4 years so we were able to move our dryer to the home yard this year and we did about 10% of the durum early but that's it. Every cereal we were on it's ass all harvest. Cereals are done but a 1/3 of the canola and all the flax is still out there.
Waiting a few more days more and if no better we'll start drying canola.

SF3, will your wheat be in the top grade or have very high protein? If not, how does drying pencil out? Just wondering about the math in going after something that is low quality, just to get it off the field? In passing you did mention another harvesting technique, the match.

Bernanke is at home wondering how to renew his house mortgage, poor fellow.

in scotland we combine wheat up to 30% moisture then roast it in the drier.
We leave it in a pile for 2 or 3 days and once it starts to heat it dries a lot easier. But if the drier breaks down........

13.9 to 14.9 and a shitty two so basically a one at the coast! Later is a three with high protein! It's on pig shit ground! So should be similar! Other was a two when we left have enough to mix! If it was a match it would be gone already! Xanola is for end since have half off! Oats should be ready shortly! Heavy clouds now thanks free wheat for the snow showers! Ha ha! Ah farming!

Haven't combined in 9 days, light shower this morning, so good chance today will make 10. Best Thanksgiving dinner this year would be a turkey sandwich on the combine.

Good luck to all and take extra care this long weekend, especially if you have urban visitors that aren't used to being around equipment and machinery.

[SASKFARMER3]

Good point on relatives and friends out this weekend! Quads bikes and equipment!
Yes the best thanks giving dinner is the American in November! Always celebrate that one Canada's is to early! A sandwich on Monday or supper in the field works for me!

Took a lot of wheat off tough so far.

If canola is 12% or better tomorrow will take some off and put in aeration, than dry.
