What’s your most profitable crop?

[sumdumguy]

Lentils, Canola, Canaryseed.

Maybe not the most profitable but definitely priceless😎

Looks like you have a good quality bumper crop woodland.

Actually I thought about it and it’s My savings. Also it’s getting close to a good time to buy Canadian real estate in cities. Not yet but close.

I'll let you know in the spring.
So far, I'm guessing that it wasn't hay, even 10 bales * unmarketable due rained on for a month doesn't equal much.
CPS that was harvested looks like the clear winner, until I add in how much it cost to dry 20+ points of moisture out of it.
The canola that was harvested looked really promising by the yield, but not so much when you see the green seed count. the rest should be better, if the moose leave any behind.
I'm thinking the wheat will survive the winter the best, and will be dry by spring, so should be the winner.

Sounds a lot like here. Only got 10% of the hay baled dry and sold while the rest is long white sausages scattered across the countryside. The silage bales will become cow chow after the corn runs out and be sold as yearlings in the next year or two for “decent” money hopefully.

Best crop would have been the propane delivery outfits. They’ve been crazy busy for the past four years in our area. Cost us 40 cents/bu for propane and power on every single bushel this year. Although next year they’ll have one less stop to make since we just bought a bigger used dryer and will be bringing nat gas into run it. Only nice thing about wet ugly harvesting is the air filters and rads can go the season without being blown out. 😉

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

These are profit numbers, after all expenses.

Can you say how much gas will cost?

Canary seed and hi acid ****seed for us, yellow peas right up there also

How does Hi Acid compare to Nexera?

1. Lambs by FAR. NOT remotely even close.
2. Oats

This year our Flax/Chickpea intercrop netted the best return.
First year experimenting. Flax received N from chickpeas so only applied phos for chickpeas.
