Friday Crop Report on a Thursday!

[malleefarmer]

Looking for a new variety that addresses some of its downfalls. Yes it can sprout easily. Its not midge tolerant. It has a longer maturity than couple other wheats we grow. It checks alot of boxes but not quite all of them if that makes sense.

Get confused with all the seed tax stuff.

Variety called sceptre wheat here been around for 8 years still numero uno.

I grow sell it $3 per tonne royalty collected and processed by buyer. Were ever i deliver it elevator feed mill dairy farmer.

Can sell this wheat to my nieghbour as seed. When he delivers werever royaly again. Endpoint royalty its called here. Been in place for not sure 20 yrs maybe longer.

All cereal legumes canola have it.

OK Sheldon Cooper ...Fun with Math guy....at what point does that below average crop start to make money with prices...since they have been rising a bit....

Guys who took the 9.50 or 10 bucks because some guy named Townsend said it was a bumper crop ....where do they have to be to even money from where they thought they should be...


60 x 10 = 600 / 45 ( actual yield ) = 13.30 On your canola crop....it might get there but that one statement from Townsend cost producers a tonne of money...

Enlighten me. What does Sheldon Cooper have to do with math? Isn't he a farmer west of SToon?

Just checked some latest seed prices for latestcand greatest wheat here.

1 t of wheat $891 per tonne cleaned pickled !ready to sow. $5 royalty 21 harvest.

Will buy two tonne to bulk my seed up, any spare will sell to neighbours. Tis a sister line to above mentioned wheat by me.

So you guys cant do this?

Cow day here again.


Brought home the last bunch of pairs and vaccinated the calves. Everything is good till weaning at Christmas or sometime like that now. Still got grass for a couple weeks or more yet.

Managed to run away for a few days last week to Radium since the hot springs opened up again. Went salmon fishing in the Columbia River without much luck. At Field BC we checked out the Takakkaw Falls and it’s like 1,000 foot drop.

Quite the trail to get there too. Double switchbacks like this.


Probably half the neighborhood is done and the other half has a way to go. Blew a straw chopper belt on some wet green canola and couldn’t find one otherwise we’d be done too. Borrowed one from my buddy since the nearest one is 250 miles away. Should be dry-ish tomorrow after today’s rain and then it’ll be a wrap. Hopefully can be done combining for turkey on Saturday since that hasn’t happened in 25 years or more............ probably just jinxed myself.

Good luck y’all 🍀
