Our area looks like Sept 20 instead of Oct 20

Plain and simple. You get the iron you need to cover your acres.

If your trying to do to many acres with one machine, your going to be taking alot of feedgrains.(and that makes sense??)

You can seed 150acres/ft of drill, if you want to seed every year until middle of June. God gives us 3 weeks to get it in and 3 weeks to get it off.....And you have to adjust accordingly.

Just one other note. Have a neighbor cropping 22000 acres, he is done. They get custom combiners in and are done. Have another neighbor with 20000 acres trying to do it with 4 9870's(because you know the dealer tells you these machines can do 5000 acres each). These guys are sitting with 8000 acres left. The first guy has all malt barley #1 wheat, and the second as 2500 acres off feed barley left, 1000 acres wheat, and the rest canola.

So who's the smart farmer??

It's not hard to see why some farms aren't making profit.

skhadenough, the western canola crop is huge!!

Anyone thinking fundamentals matter right now is nuts!!

I usually seem to get better yields farming the neighbors fields freom the road than he does doing it.

wow what a soaker this morning.
May have seen that guy by P.A. on Saturday going with 5 or 6 combines.

A freind told me who Saskfarmer3 was so I was just poking a little fun at him... Ive seen a lot of crop come off after the end of Oct, hopefully for their sake we get a good run of weather.

Well snappy I guess some better sell before she hits 7 bucks or lower , I think I'm going to wait til March or April, I am not saying there is a poor crop overall but there was too much hail, drought and early froze stuff that I know for a fact was not great in fact worked under for this to be huge crop. If I am wrong I'm wrong we'll see come April May. Those fields that looked like crap and then got some rain and looked nice flowering still had half the plants and maybe looked all nice and yellow at 60 miles an hour going down the road, but reality is when talking to guys after harvested lots of 15 to 25 bushel acre crops.

The crop is huge. End of story.


Is it going to make one bit of difference in the big scheme of things???

Nope.

Through in 2 new crushers in Yorkton and Cargill's second in Clavet and we may have 0 basis back at my location instead of the minus 70's.

Damn rain shut us down this morning. Yea you just have to love when two storms join over your farm.

Snappy. You are right. Drove from the US border to 2 hrs north of Edmonton. I would say 30% to 40% of the feilds were canola and most running over 40. My farm for the fist time had 40 bus avg over every acre. Even down in Foremost counrty there was big yeilds. The biggest ever.
