Friday Crop Report on a Thursday!

[SASKFARMER3]

I agree but the problem starts in the schools and our education system.

Ever eat the new A&W veggie burger? I tried one just to see what the fuss is all about.

It’s total shit.

First time ever I threw out a burger.

Total shit it was.


The consumer needs education real education and the American and Canadian system t aches shit.

I just cancelled ordering three new strait cut flex headers what’s the use I don’t farm in the 🌵 desert with natural desiccation.

The bigger problem is groups are out to take us down with their own agenda and farmers they don’t care about.

Will glyphos be gone you F$&king can bet on that.

I totally agree keep very quiet its an argument we cannot win. Here in UK we had a NFU slogan "Glyphosphate is vital". Focused on what farmers would loose if it was banned, came across in my opinion as if we did not care if there was a low cancer risk so long as we did not have to change what we did.

This law case has them on TV again trying to justify its use and argue with the people who believe and always will believe it is harmful, managed to make a half hour program, slow news day.

Would have been a two minute slot if the farmer had stayed home.

Lobby politicians in private it is more about getting elected than it being safe.

Well i joined the swath club you guys convinced me.

Hail damaged wheat just saying its not going to get any better. Got the check for damage haven’t done this for as long as I have been married in wheat. Youngest took the wheel for a go.

Swathing wheat can be done by larger farms.
Fellow we know by Humboldt has almost 5000 acres of wheat cut already.they do not pre harvest.

[SASKFARMER3]

It is possible just have to change a few things and up a few things and maybe redo our dryer system to handle larger volume.

Weed control in a cooler year and late harvest will cause issues of higher chem the following year.

On the soil argument on my other post it’s gaining fertility and organic matter in 37 years of direct seeding.

Areas we broke back in 1981 still out produce our original broke land that my grandfather broke. But what he broke blew in the thirties were the new breaking never did.

Soil is alive and living real well now.

And that is the angle we need to use to win this debate. Our generation of consumers has no memory of the dust bowl, and no concept of how much glyphosate has benefited soil conservation. Although in the age of instant gratification, I'm not sure they would care anyways.

Yes valid point it we as producers need to look at the soil and what this build up is doing year after year also. Not to mention resistance of weeds that is growing to glyphos. Times change science should be moving ahead also in a better direction. This was great improvement but what's next is the question???

If you have forgotten your going to love combining swathed wheat, 6 mph, smooth feeding, grain cart guy is going to hate it, will keep them busy chasing combines.

Until you get a rain , but that’s not in the cards yet this fall.
Big swaths , and not because of big crops but more so bigger swathers , never dry out in many areas of western Canada . Also sprouting can cause major grading issues in swaths . There is a trade off
