2017 crops

Wall to wall the retarded sister.

Ok really if it snows any amount our acreage will be down as fields are wet to saturated. Snow will add moisture to already wet fields.

So back to square one 2010.

Peas suck in water canola sucks in water, and barley doesn't like wet feet.

Wheat if it gets a start will do ok and soy some how does better. Real big soy yields locally so acreage will be up.

In 2010+2011 soy was the only crop that I did not loose money on, plus it kept my land clean. No brainer here what I'll be growing if we have a repeat.

Unless HOT DRY WINDY April, none of the choices will pay, unless crop insurance, don't bother seeding after June 10. Those that never seeded in 2010 were much better off. Our yield on what was seeded in 2010, 17 bu wheat, 14 bu canola, and a fight in the mud like this fall, but in Sept. Applied N first and never seeded a third of those acres. Compaction in 2010 choked yields, too wet, stay off. The HUGE neighbor has a 1000 acres anhydrous-ed in mud.

2010 was a huge wreck and we aren't going to fall for it again. Seed fields that are somewhat dry and concentrate on those. The rest don't just spray. rip and make SMF. Playing in the mud sucks.
Been their done that never again.

Every farm and field is different, best to wait for spring to decide not to seed.
Still optimistic on own farm, trying to stay flexible.

Drought only wrecks one year. Flooding does two years at a time. Local independent input supplier (Andrukow group) saw the hand writing on the wall last spring and unloaded to Agrium before Agrium's money was gone. Smart. Between lower input purchasing and the slide in fertilizer price they will be hurting as well but hopefully they saved during the VERY good years they have had.
