    Canola is down this morning, beans are up double digits. Dollar is rocketing due to the hard work our PM did. 👎👊🤬
    Millions and millions of $$$$$ out in the field and markets dropping like flys.

        Showers north and south of here this morning. Swathed canola west of unity at 11. East of unity Mine down to 16.8 . Dropped a point a day. Sure would be nice to miss one for a change. Neighbours going on standing wheat and canola. Dryers in terminals have 10 day supply to dry.
        Cutting people off.

          You are a year too late, get in line, auctions all booked up, nobody wants to farm after this crop... 2013 and 2017 were the best times to quit around here!

              But Mouse, you are not alone,
              In proving foresight may be vain:
              The best laid schemes of mice and men
              Go often askew,
              And leave us nothing but grief and pain,
              For promised joy!

              Still you are blessed, compared with me!
              The present only touches you:
              But oh! I backward cast my eye,
              On prospects dreary!
              And forward, though I cannot see,
              I guess and fear

              "To a Mouse" - Robert Burns

                First snow for our area this fall(yes I appreciate how lucky we are). Area likely 98% harvested. Combines ganging up like I've never seen. 3, 5, 8 in a field to get it off, doing beans and canola, most of it standing yet , but not all. Bleached wht and durum left for now, mostly edges and lower areas that were too green 4 or 5 weeks ago, when the bulk of the cereals were taken off. 14 day forecast brutal, and the reason so many combines were helping neighbours out. Normally farmers wouldn't panic like this, unless we were at the end of Oct. We've seen, often enough, Halloween snow stay for the winter, so between that and the terrible forecast, only leaves a 2 week window to wrap up harvest, most here don't want to gamble on that, the way the year has been.

                Maunder Minimum could/would last 50 years, image farming in western Canada for 50 years with cold falls like this or worse? You maybe rewarded with good prices, especially if Europe was affected too. But think of the risk, multiple times higher than you have now.

                Glowbull warmists think their theory will help offset the cooling output of the Sun, yet they still want to take measures to reduce the warming??? WTF !

                  Depending on your locality this was very unofficially the second coldest September since 1885.
                  The only one colder? September 1965

                    October looks to be the same , or even colder .
                    Until this jet stream moves we are going to be in for a battle just to get 1/2 done

                      Zero bushels harvested on my farm. Overwhelmed with stress. Chest feels tight, can’t do a thing. Not certain what will happen if I don’t get this crop off. Or at least some of it. Not quite enough sheep yet to make a living. Just sick of this crap. No one has done a thing here since sept 6. Amount done here is directly proportional to barley acres on your farm, as not much else has been done.
