Talk about stress!

[the big wheel]

It’s seems easy to write on here how far behind the crops are in a futile attempt to get the market to take notice. But when I take a drive around looking at my crops and everyone else’s here wow it’s Mid july. Some fields are all even in the 2 leaf stage some 2 leaf and half flowing a foot high.
Maybe it’s myself I have to convince or get over the shock of how bad this is. Acres and acres miles upon miles. Not sure why some guys aren’t working some of these fields down peas flax canary look like shit they came up earlier but there is nothing there damage done no potential at all. Is crop insurance holding a few bushels to deduct over their heads? Can’t understand it there isn’t enough grain there to pay for another spraying? And isn’t it too late to spray again?

Dun't werry, da Gubbermint hazz yur back.

Crop ins.said 12 plants per sq.meter of any size is viable.
Agree many fields should have been claimed before the rain started and germed the rest.
Now it's keep spraying like chem fallow.

Sad.
In 02, AFSC was standing by their guidelines for writing it off.
Someone in Edmonton made a call and Shazam, everything being written off from the pickup.
To be fair they hadn't seen that before and were following the book.
Up to your provincial govt to throw away the book.

The most stress i have is the incompetence of farm groups, governments, agencies like the CGC not doing their job...

Oh and the ****ing so called weatherman that can't predict shit...and people believe what the climate will be like when they are dead....

And the nonsense that have to feed the world....nope that job is going to the former soviet union because of the above listed problems...and those countries are doing pretty well taking care of agriculture...

**** sakes the Ukraine came in and picked up 45 million for a two day visit....Trevor Noah got 50 million by a tweet...

Its ****ing nuts...

That's true but not in the way you are thinking. Trudeau is something else we haven't seen before and I don't mean just incompetence.

Anywho, the early seeded crops are the clear losers even canola that got established. Short now and bolting like half height, thin, patchy, doesn't look vigorous. Like they just want to be done with the season. Same goes for flax, wheat, chicks. Only lentils thrived in that stress period before it rained.

Later seeded crops are clear winner if they can make it.

Weed problems everywhere now. Pulses filling up with mustard. I see wild oats in some wheat now. Timing of everything was just off.

The later crops will look like the early one after this heat and zero moisture since June 27....we are mid July and crop is at a stage where it's drinking pretty good...

14 days without rain plus another 14 on the forecast.....stick a fork in it.....

Every day I find these actions unbelievable. Giving money Canada does not have to different countries to advance their agendas.
In times of economic difficulty great leaders in history turned inward, spending on improving infrastructure, creating employment and improving attitudes for the future.
Our jester gives our money to other countries.
The nonsense is disgusting.
Imagine the children’s reaction in a family where Dad loses his job. He explains that money will be tight but pays to shingle the neighbour’s roof.
The Liberals MUST be removed. Kevin O’Leary said it best. Canada 2019 is not an election, it is an exorcism.

Like it or loathe it Canada spending money in other countries is nothing new. As an example the 2013 foreign aid budget was $5.5 billion which was 0.27% of Canada's gross national income that year.

Yeah and our taxes were steady and our budget deficit was dropping fast until it was in the black before a G7 country was turned over to skippy and his high school team. Don't be so obtuse grass. Anybody with eyeballs can see whats going on here.

Do you think Ontario is sustainable with a $600m dollar deficit? Well that is the model that Trudeau is applying to Canada now.
