Friday Crop Report on a Thursday!

How did you arrive at the number for Copeland?

Peas per plant x plants per sqft x 220-250 /1000 x 43560/1000x2.204/60

Peas are tricky since the size can vary so much. I normally pick the shitiest spot in the field to do counts so I'm not disappointed.

Barley is about 42-45g per tkw

Absolutely pouring here. Canola is now screwed for good as far as I can tell. Getting too late for recovery. Creeks running like spring.

Glad I never cut much hay, hate to have it all float away.

Ado. You do a bit of organic now, don't you? How are you able to only do part of your land. I thought that was a no no. I am simply wondering about following hay in my rotation for a couple years, then back to conventional to reset the system. From what I can tell tho, they frown on this for some stupid reason. Too effective I suppose.

I do some organic. They are pushing me to convert all of it but I've been pushing it off by telling them I'm doing a 5 year feasibility study. The other option is to do it under a separate entity. I have a feeling I'll have to pull the organic out of my Corp and run it personally then charge "custom farming" back to the Corp. It's stupid since I think Canada is the only place with the rule that it has to all or nothing. The really stupid part is now they know what I'm growing conventialy so I can't do parallel production but if I was to spin it off I coul
d grow what ever I wanted on both.

Larry's, 7 day rain totals are 2-3" in next week, crops will have hard time staying alive let alone yielding 135 b/ac. Most likely LODGING all to hell! Keep spraying, making ruts in muddy YELLOW crops.

Stayin alive, stayin alive ah ah stayin alive. Just had to. We have dried out and should be okay for next week. There are areas that cannot take any more rain. Peas will lodge and it could get ugly.

.....wouldn't it be nice if it didn't matter?

Sorry I just couldn't help myself.

I feel like I am in the twilight zone. Still less than an inch of rain since June 1. Fungicide apps finishing up in my area. Canola crops look good, fairly even and in full bloom. Peas starting to pod 2.5 to 3 feet tall, look good. Barley just starting to head. My CPS wheat showing the greatest lack of moisture, some looks good but areas of lighter soil thinning out. I grew penhold this year, not impressed. I grew foremost for years, at this point the penhold doesn't look as good. Rain is in the forecast I hope they are right it would be most welcome. Have a good day:-)

What do you use for a rule of thumb on peas?


Mine is 1 pea per plant 1 bushel and that is fairly close



Our early amarillo have 16 to 22 pods per plant and 5 to 7 peas. I'm not going to guess yield but if they miss hail it will be a huge crop

Klause I need some help figuring out what our pea yields might be. Any way to talk/phone you?
