Harvest Stage....standing still or making progress?

[farmaholic]

We are basically done...got too tough to finish a wee bit of flax...would have pushed it if tomorrow's forecast didn't "look" good. Rain and rainbows east of us and was tracking north...feel sorry for the guys in it's path. I should never trust a forecast!

I don't want to be a "wet blanket" but it looks like things could be taking a turn for the worse. Times like this I'm glad we don't have anymore to do.

Afew smaller Producers are done here. Even some of the larger guys have made good progress and some have quite a bit to do too. If I liked what I was doing more there'd be an opportunity to do custom work but I am so ****ing happy to be done our own I'm not really looking for anymore to do. Besides, if I wanted more to do I'd buy or rent some more land....we'll see what the future holds. But for now I'm content to be basically done. Tonnes of other work to do.....

Take care, work and harvest safe.

Good for you farma finishing is always a nice feeling! Im hoping to beat the rain, Canola is as tough now as three days ago lucky to see 3mph during primetime. Where's a frost when you need one last year I was picking 40ft swaths of canola at 6mph+. Cant wait, shelled canola are trying to grow through the swath.

Last good day today or maybe Monday if we can dodge the moisture tonight. Monday night look out.
One inch plus by next Saturday evening. Oh well, better than a hurricane.
Flax left.

If new forecast comes true it'll make the little bit of crop left look minor compared to what it'll mean for next year.
Fill everything right to the brim with water to go into winter.

One good day left , but things slowed dramatically yesterday with high humidity.
Looks the same today , absolutely put the Gleaners on their ass yesterday in heavy canola.
Looks like the humidity will stay high all day so not sure if we get er now.
Just some canola and 80 AC of soybeans to go.

I was speaking to a friend and he was telling me that their dugout is low. They depend on the dugout for both house and spray water. The borrow pits I saw last night were basically empty. Must be the fricken fracking 100 miles away. LOL

Dugouts low? Wow no one can find their dugouts here.

75% done. Raining this morning in central Alberta. A couple of tenths so far more to come :-(. Interesting to note, Faba beans are starting to be combined, the stands looked really but I hear the yields are down from previous years. Usually out yield the peas in our area but not this year. Much nicer to combine than peas by a country mile. I have a neighbor who always straight cuts his canola. This year he grew a RR variety and desiccated it with heat. It has been sprayed for almost a month still testing over 14. Apparently the heat didn't work, anybody else have this happen?

Heat = useless
