Day 10 no harvesting and its getting sick already.

Nothing more humbling for wanabe BTO s ,than the realization that we are all at the mercy of the weather no matter how good an operator you are. Unfortunately it takes a mental toll. Most farmers are too emotionally invested in their operation.

I'm not even going to comment on this statement,,, I just want to repost it here to make sure everyone gets to see what this A hole thinks!

Just remember this next time agstar77 bothers to post anything.

How can somebody not become emotionally invested in something they dedicate the majority of their hours every day in to succeeding...

That'd be like saying too many people are too emotionally invested in their marriage and that’s why they end up hurt and divorcing.

If it’s just a job to someone, fine. But farming is usually more than a job, it’s a lifestyle and yes, people tend to be emotionally involved in their lives.

Yeah, wet here too - was at half an inch by 9am, haven't been back out to check since. I reckon 7" in September here and over an inch in October already. Looks like a drying trend going forward though - hopefully it comes true for everyone to get back on the land.

Got to ask SF3 though - did you just drive the swather into the slough for the photo op? There obviously wasn't any crop there.

Whoa boys, it’s the first week of October, not December. Some area may get nuts kicked to next spring, but most will come off yet. Quality will suffer.

Wheat's coming off at 19-20 here.

Canola is still 20... nobody is touching that yet.

Hard to justify drying feed wheat down from that mkisture level.
