Well mother nature has not been to nice the last week as again we finally got going on Saturday afternoon and then Sunday till we were rained out. Basically a 1/2 inch again. Total for the last two weeks is another 2 inches. Basically were playing in the mud.
Its a easy report since Manitoba yesterday announced that they were all wrapped up in that province. I guess the guys that had to reseed don't mean anything.
This is the reason I do the crop report because of idiots in cities that cant do their job and tell whats going on.
So here it is.
Area that was wet all year from spring to fall hasn't changed. If you were dry in the beginning and rain came after your probably done. But for those of us fighting to get this crop off its been a battle. We did get to 67% and talking to a few other bigger guys another week and it will be close to done. Weather looks good after today.
HRS is all done and farmers are working land, applying Anhydrous and harrowing.
Barley done similar.
Oats is crop still out. standing fairly decent and should go in day or two.
Flax the wind did do a job on both swaths and standing. Standing has balls on ground. percentage is about 3 to 5% gone.
Canola is crop that is out. Strait did finally get to dry yesterday but most did their strait earlier. So maybe its a crop to leave till later. Swath was 11.5 to 11.8 at 5. We will be going today and drying. If their is wind by tonight it should be dry. Problem if swaths are thick the bottom is wet. If its a thin swath it would be dry and ready to go. Good yields continue in our area.
Soy is coming off as its a crop you can harvest on days that Canola isn't ready. Yields are good. Out of our time growing the crop again a wet august gives you great yield. No frost. But out of the five it is 2 I have to grow more. 2 Never growing soy again and 1 next year it could be better.
For the cattle guys pastures are great and bales are being hauled.
So flax burning is taking place along with making fields black. Our peas that were off in August regrew and were worked down again as green manure. So far a 1000 acres are worked total. Spraying is taking place but getting close to park the sprayer.
Another month would be perfect to get all the things done that need to be done.
So be safe out their and remember the ones at home are way more important than any crop. Also keep the ones at home safe around the farm please.
Have a great week.
