Friday Crop Report! on Thursday!

[farmaholic]

Tom, I don't think waiting to seed here would have helped much. There was a net drying effect, at least all our crop came up but a lack of moisture during the growing season really held it back.

You never know what the future holds.

Look at the animated satellite this morning. Environment Canada took off the 60% chance of rain from the forecast. Seems odd to me, but there can be a lot of cloud and no rain falls, so. We still have blooming lentils and podding Canola. Mid August is 3 weeks away, better hurry up!

Seeding in April can be a wreck in my area 30% of the time as well , but seeding after the 28th of May can be far worse 80% of the time . Every area has a prime seeding window of 12-15 days and that can change year to year as too what 12-15 days lol

SF3 - Is it the Dupont 3155C that is your best RR canola?
I did consider that at one time but ended up going with DeKalb 74-44, 73-45 and Nexera 1012

From what I see this Dupont variety is looking good wherever I see it.

Also I believe the CWB is releasing the results of their fairly extensive prairie province crop tour.

What a week. Haying is done. Whew! Tonnage was not bad. We'll see later about quality. It was fairly mature, but we baled 80% of it with no rain.

Soybeans just look amazing. They're loaded with flowers and pods forming. We tried some Radiate, a hormone treatment on them. I'm hoping it will boost yield. Or, they'll just turn into Caitlin Jenner

Canola looks fantastic. It's a little uneven in maturity thanks to Jack Frost, at least on some fields. But we're still happy we left most of them and didn't reseed. The field we did reseed is really catching up. We tried 40 acres of Radiate on the canola and when you dig up plants, the "Radiated" plot has literally twice the roots of on treated. We'll see if that brings on more yield.

Wheat also looks fantastic. I've noticed some neighbours fields (Harvest variety) are showing a lot of fusarium damage eg. dead heads and parts of heads. We have one field of Cardale showing wheat stem maggot, but not much yet.

Barley is really turning and seems nicely filled. It's a nice crop and we're hoping for some good harvest weather as it's malt.

Annual ryegrass likely ready to swath next week. It's a nice stand, and passed inspection, but is quite weedy this year.

Bad storms moving through MB right now. I hope we have a crop to report on next week.

Is it true that Saskfarmer gets paid directly from this site to write the weekly reports for Agriville ?

[SASKFARMER3]

Ha ha ha ha oh stop my guts hurting!
No I hated the useless crop reports that came from Sask ag and food etc. every thing is ok nothing to see bull shit!
So I created the Friday crop report on Thursday!
Have a great night it's time for a Corona!
Note
A truck load of hrs makes makes 42000 loafs of bread that sell for $84,000 and a farmer gets $5,200. Great system!

SF3 it's those numbers that piss the French Farmers off, us just play dead.
