2021 crop plans????

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.

you are lucky to have a leader with balls , envy you

Third wheat, third canola, third feed barley, fairly consistent. As lots of wheat acres get abandoned for barley and canola perhaps wheat may be the money maker next year.


I'm suprised feed wheat price has held up so good. I sold the rest of my wheat for 6.85 today picked up for feed.

Looks like my pasteur will be going for feed this year. Basically grades a 1cwsp with 16.5%PX. Plenty of higher protein milling wheat in southern ab this year, so not alot of interest from the milling market. Not much premium either. Best anyone can do is $6.75 delivered 2.5hrs away... I'm thinking I can probably find 7.25 delivered within a 3hr drive.

KISS theory still in operation here.

Alfalfa- less due to horrible haying conditions lately and old/tired fields coming out of rotation

Barley- less due to disease issues

Canola- more as a rotation filler and to clean up some fields

Cows- more since some fool 😉left the bulls out longer with a big bunch of heifers

Fences- more since there’s an abundance of rotten old fence currently past it’s best before date

Grazing Corn- more since there’s more cows and no easier way to feed them

Got all the fertilizer delivered/on it’s way and the seed mostly lined up too. Spent $25k on posts and wire yesterday ............ got 1.5 miles done in November and a lot more of those to plant yet😎

Enjoying the beautiful weather working at least since there’s not much else to do anyway

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

No issues to date and this is an extended rotation compared to what I used to do. Lentils canary lentils canary.

It's a bit drier in our area but I haven't seen much impact yet. I have only sprayed lentils one year for ascochyta/anthracnose for that matter. I do use intego on all pulses. We don't grow canola either and I have never seen sclerotia even in wet years. Not entirely sure what the reason is except drier area.

what about high yielding feed wheat ?
are any midge resistant ?
fuz always a problem here

Not sure what would work in your area with a little cooler temps.
There is not much choice for midge resistant. AAC Awesome and Sparrow.
Sparrow looks like a long season type. Both Awesome and Sparrow are UPOV91.
Pasteur is not midge resistant and is long season. Could be hurried up a bit with heavier seeding rates. On 12 inch spacing and I hate to cram a pile of seed in a foot of row.

The Soft White types have lower fus resistance if you ask me

Time to revisit the 2021 crop plans.

Any changes?
