Lentils Prediction

[dansask]

what price are everyone predicting for laird and reds this fall?

[JDGreen]

How do you predict with so many unknown variables? Grades, yields, India all need to be factored in. This is a total crapshoot. One thing I do know is this lentil crop will be far from bin busting in this area.

There are plenty of John deere lentils in this area.

Lentils on lentils. Lots of trials using potato sprays.

I agree with jdgreen and if drew is 50 percent right ..... it's going to be a shit show.

Guys are loading up with combines.

Totally agree JD!! One more big rain this lentil crop is in trouble. I know of one guy who will be swathing his greens down for feed, they are 2 ft tall and not a flower. There is so much root rot, and drowned out spots it would make your head spin. I could only imagine what they look like in the so called "fringe" areas. Would like to hear from these guys as well as the first timers. If the trade figures there will be 5.8 million acres to combine come harvest they better give their heads a shake.

IMO for red's .25-.30 per pound is where it will be

bigzee, are you suggesting to maintain quality in lentils, that I will have to leave a buffer when cutting around all those drowned out wet spots, and harvest & bin them separately? Yikes, I'm gonna be dizzy after doing that for days! How much does a guy leave, 10-12 feet?

On the heavy land ,the lentils are soaking wet ALL day long A Major wreck is in the making

That is why we quit growing large greens. ...they resembled alfalfa more than lentils.

I think poor grade are going to take a price beating! KEEP SPRAYING!

For sure we've had 40 plus b/acre on 4 inches or less in growing season with 13 inches were gonna have a disaster
