2021 crop plans????

[zeefarmer]

25% Large green lentils
25% Canary
25% maple peas
25% durum

Going to stick to this rotation for a few years. LEPs comments are correct re reds. We need new issues in India to occur with their red crop or Australia and our current CDN inventories are likely to weigh on the market.

You don't have any issues with root rot/aphanomyces?

Nothing but perennials, gonna leave the grains and oilseed markets for the rest of you.

Not sure if we want to seed even 1 acre of worthless wheat.
Even feed bly kicks its ass.

I don't know about that, 1600lbs/ac @ $.32 is $512.00/ac, nothing to sneeze at.

2021
No oats, running into wild oat problems, split the oat acres between barley and Canaryseed.
45% Canola
30% Barley
25% Canaryseed

was just returning buckets sarcasm , lol (tm chuck)
2450 lbs @$.32 even better ! wild oats severley limit acres same as oats

Half Faller feed wheat. Half canola. Just like the last many years. Find me a more profitable rotation for this area and I'll try it. Lather, rinse, repeat, cash the ****ing cheque. 80 bpa Faller, 50 bpa canola here this year.

Malt feed spread never more than about $5 here.

Main cause onechina buy off grade malt or special purpose feed and make beer dont need premium barley.
They actually want higher protien than norm.

And two european malt supposedly superior last few years.

Realtight specs for malt here nowadays.

Barley fallen $45 as of today over last two weeks

They been non existent in our barley market since first week of may.

But yeah relationships strained.

Look on bright side canada picking up australias slack into feed barley market for you guys.

One more contract to fill 250t was done back when covid hit the rest of barley not sure what i will do with that just yet maybe 300 plus tonne.

Saturdays quite usually for canola often on 4 or 5 guys operate over weekend zero buyers today.

Think I've settled on 25% yellow peas, 50% durum, and, I feel dirty even thinking this... but 25% yellow mustard...

I should be honest with myself and say I'll be intercropping my mustard with buckwheat and kochia.
