What’s your most profitable crop?

We love experimenting too. Even more when they turn out. 👍

Did you do it along a main road to keep the neighbours guessing if you lost your marbles (like us) or hidden in the back somewhere?

Yes had people wondering what the hell it was. I was Thinking I should have put up a sign explaining

Nah just leave them wondering. Like the time we baled greenfeed for bale grazing and kicked the bales out with no twine on 80 acres along the highway. That sure stirred things up for a while. 😉

How many bu a day of rolled barley are you feeding? I like the idea of the seed tank. We had a unit that we used back in the day of discer seeding.

I think this is a better use.

2006-2017 (still have 2018 inventory)
Green Peas $117.19/acre
Pasteur Wheat (general purpose) $115.88
Durum $107.41 but I quit growing it due to fusarium
Canola $86.94
Hard Red Spring Wheat $49.96 (this is getting better each year)
Flax $40.26
Soybeans $36.5 (only 5 years)

These are profit numbers, after all expenses.

Interesting! Thanks for sharing your ROI.

How about oats?

Apologies to those with crop out.

Here in my spot Barley for me in 2019.

Wheat frost affected cut yield as was canola.

Going foward into 20 maybe more barley acres mind you an get forwards for $295 on farm for wheat NOW for dec 20.

You guys got good cash prices looking at you in the eye for next harvest?

Aiming for 5 pounds a piece so about 8,000 pounds a day. Haven’t calibrated it yet to figure out how much it puts out since everyone here has been under the weather but maybe tomorrow things can get back to normal ............. hopefully 😉

Export timothy that we compact and ship to the UAE.

Export timothy that we compact and ship to the UAE.

Used to be a few neighbors aiming for that market(Japan, though, not UAE), but weather generally had other plans. And because Japan wanted the timothy to be late, nearly ripe, it didn't have great food value, so if it didn't make the export grade, and had to be sold locally, it wasn't worth as much as it could have been if cut on time. Is that the case with UAE as well?
