Harvest management..

[sumdumguy]

Sure nice to read stories of the past. I just told the story about seeing my dad’s income line in 1961 when his total income was derived from a four bushel CWB quota at $1.25 a bushel. But no rocks here at gumbo flats, that might have something to do with it Makar. 💡

Ha Makar, ya i guess there are a few days i wonder about farming somewhere else. Like after seeding when we are picking rocks.

My grandpa had a friend pick a quarter for him to file on. The farm my grandpa worked on in Ontario had productive land but was rocky so he told his friend to get a quarter with rocks cause that was the most productive land.

uncle often regetted not getting of the train with his friend, they kept in touch for 60 years. so the old ukrainian saying every frog croaks up his own mud is not always true.

On the way here to shithole new world my oldest uncle made friends on the boat and ended up on the same train coming west his friend got off in regina, he did way better than us. he had farmland we had bush.

I always found it interesting. I covered all 4 corners of the province and most places in between.

Along the way I started to see a common thread among the farmers. Often the comment would come up that there are alot of good places to farm but this is the best. The pride they had in their farms was very evident.

I like farming where I am, but I wouldn't mind being SF3's neighbor.

I promise to keep my weeds under control.

you havent talked to me, i am here cus its where gido got off the train in 1939 and we havent made enough to move yet.

Aren't you worried about having your crops damaged from chemical drift?

Bwahahahaha!! 😄😃😆

A farmer who knows what direction to swath - not perfectly straight the way it was seeded.

I can't begin to count the thousands of rotting swathed acres I have seen in my lifetime, lots of them mine.

That's the decision you make. If it has a viable seed and it is green you will probably downgrade your sample so it doesn't make sense to do it.

The problem we have is late season rains bringing on green weeds and second growth. The second growth is flowering and won't make a viable seed.

Yea, I did that in 2015. 2nd stage didn't germinate till mid July that year.

Ended up being a 16bu crop. If I had laid it down, there's no way I could have even picked it up, and 2nd stage wad just flowering at time of application which was Sept 19... there was no way in hell it was ever going to mature, but at least I could actually harvest the pissy 16bu crop that was ready to go.

[helmsdale]

I should qualify that... if said 2nd growth is greater than 30%Mx itself, then it would be off label.

I say this because I know people that say the "sample" would test less than 30% of you were to combine it, so it's therefore on label.

It's not what the representative sample from the field would test, but the most absolute immature heads that stand a chance of putting a kernel into the grain tank that matters.
