Well finally Sunday we got back to some real normal harvesting. Full crew yesterday and now were rolling right along.
We are just at 60% left with Two days of Cereals then just Canola and Soy.
Rain is forecast for the weekend but should get to almost all the wheat off and maybe oats before the event happens.
It seems the Orange party is finally slipping and people are waking up. Phone a friend in Alberta and see how well that experiment is going.
Our fields are soft the further north we go and having diff lock on the combines does help. Hit water push the hydro forward and hit the diff lock and hope you make it to the other side getting all the wheat heads.
So here it is.
HRS is just about all off in our area with a few just wrapping up. Yields were all way from average to above. It will be my last year growing 5603 as straw lodging have taken its toll on me and harvesting. It yields wicked but slow harvesting for the reward. Funny my Midge variety seeded last might be the big winner this year as far as yield. They are finding or should I say with tweezers finding fuz in all samples and grading stupid again. Spray and spray and spray some more the Elevator will always score on sales then grade in the end. Ah what a game.
Barley is all off in our area with last fields getting harvested the last few days. Yields good to above.
Flax most are doing now and funny thing with flax it is all over the map. Shitty to what is actually growing in that field to wow what a crop to Holy shit that's a crop.
Oats is just getting started as some will strait cut and some are swathing hopping to have it off before Saturday.
Soy will be ready to go in a week as the heavy frosts mon and tues did get things finally shutting down.
Sorghum was made into bales with only a small patch being harvested. Think Chem burn early on did its thing and caused problems.
Canola is in full swing with only stuff still out just not ready yet. Late late seeded is at least three weeks away. Funny thing with Canola some guys go early and fight with stems etc. Why not let the shit rot and rot some more you pick up a couple miles a hour and no plugging. Yields are great to awesome in our little area. Funny the 40 acre test plots on strait cut had big time winner and it wasn't what I expected. L140 p did win over my Pioneer by 8 bpa. That's weigh wagon whole plot plus GPS total acreage. Were still going to do some of each next year but for the most part Liberty is winning with L252 out in front by quite a bit. Some guys found that some new varieties grow lots of nice plant and stems but not much for seed. Its like Justin just not ready I guess.
Most will wrap up canola in two weeks if we get rain.
Durum is off and their is Fuz again so time will tell.
Pastures are awesome and so was last cut of hay.
Moose are all over the place so hopefully those who got drawn get one.
So be safe have a great week and remember its just a crop that again right on schedule the grain companies have all their ducks in a row making out like bandits on you Mr. Farmer.
Good harvesting.
