Friday Crop Report on a Thursday!

[fjlip]

Rain last night
Light snow this mornin
Bgmb , they have already admitted that its just a wealth trans scheme not even trying to hide it anymore
They said it has sfa to do with climate change

Sounds like winter is back! We could use 3 more days for fertilizing.

Long term thinking is how it'll help, more so future generations than my own.

For all the wild proclamations about how a tax might affect farms I'll tell you now if the cost of all carbon taxed inputs on my farm doubled next year it would cost me considerably less than severe weather events have cost me this year. That's what really threatens the future of agriculture everywhere and it would be reckless not to attempt to tackle it.

I'll let you know in advance I'm not interested in reading an avalanche of anti-science bullshit in response to this ranging from the earth is in fact cooling to it's a scam by Hilary Clinton so you can save your collective breath on my account.

Something to think on though - AF5 was insisting earlier that rising temperatures offered only positive opportunities to agriculture. What a good example of that we had this summer with a severe drought over a large area compounded by smoke from BC forest fires that delayed crop maturity by about a month in some areas. Sometimes there are unanticipated consequences and they can cost us severely.

My neighbor and friend of almost 50 years has been helping us finish harvest the last couple of days(he is done already) and he made a very interesting comment. His mother who I think is 89 has always what he described as a weather diary. He said that this fall has been a mirror image of 1966 which I thought was very interesting. Weather is cyclical and no government intervention will change that. Grassfarmer, I generally find your constant poking of the bear somewhat amusing but weather in western Canada has always been quite variable in nature and it is very rare that it is ideal. While I think every farmer tries to be efficient as possible, this narrative that Trudeau's carbon tax is going to somehow improve world wide climate is absolutely laughable. Could you please name 1 thing that I purchase or use on the farm that will become less expensive! The concept of carbon leakage certainly comes into play here. Once the carbon tax on business reaches a certain point it will simply move to lower taxed areas of the world. If every country that I compete against had a carbon tax it would be a different story, then it comes down to who is the most efficient producer. Plus this arguement that even though in Trudeau's words 8 out of 10 Canadians will be rebated as much or more than they pay in tax there is an incentive to use less fossil fuels, what a bunch of B.S. I was reading an interesting article this morning talking about B.C.'s carbon tax, the most interesting part was that a recent poll had been done and only 45% of B.C. residents were aware B.C. had a carbon tax, after 10 years! Grassfarmer there are times when I can see your point but when it comes to the carbon tax we will have to agree to disagree. Enjoy your day

I would love a Liberal to show how taxing farmers to death, will help the environment.

We have done our part with def, new energy efficient practices. And r2000 homes and high efficiency furnaces etc.

Please explain liberals or are you like Ralph, you don’t even believe your own bullshit.

Should get to 95% done tonight

I am cheering for you saskfarmer and hope you get it all.
Always like reading your crop reports and they are more interesting and accurate then the ones from the government. Thanks for taking the time to do them.
When ever has a government done anything better and cheaper than the private sector.
Liberalism = Mental Disorder

Last section. Canola. Shut down by 9 last night due to a ugly wet fog. Wind is starting now to get rid of the frost by 11 or twelve we will be rolling.

[AC man]

Good luck saskfarmer,hope you can wrap it up! You only have your own combines to finish? It is always a good feeling to get done harvest for another year. I have had crop stay out over winter twice lucky it was flax. Flax from my experience over winters well. A neighbour had canola stay out one winter which was burnt the following spring.I enjoy your weekly reports.

"We got 3” of wet white shit"

Caseih I heard that from Nipawin weather. On North horizon was the blackest evil looking cloud bank !
A winter looking devil for sure. We are spared so far, forecast getting better each day, we could use a few more... Colorful sunsets due to fall air.
