Friday Crop Report on a Thursday!

What do you mean by 'the muskegs flared up again'?

This was today from a friends yard.

Back in May we had a fairly large fire that burned a couple thousand acres with lots of muskeg in it just west of us. It seems every couple weeks when the wind and heat picks up the ground fires start burning again. The water bombers were dropping on the hot spots again today.

Praying 🙏 the domestic terrorists don’t start er up here

F.I.L. is beside himself today... Did a full round on a half section field of durum with a 36ft header and figures he might possibly have 20bu in the tank! That could be generous... It looks like there's a poor crop of durum there, but not that level of poor. He figures he'll cut only some of the low spots and thats it. Yikes.

Two things.

1) It's rather retarded that a guy has to scroll through the garbage on this site to find marketing threads.

2) it's raining here. In one sense its nice to know it still can. In the other it provides moisture for all the weeds that are greening up fields at the moment. Theres potentially 1.5 months of "weed growing season" remaining, and it's entirely unappetizing to think about having to blow reglone on cereal crops that are sub 10bu/ac to be able to push them through a combine. Worst case scenario if it stays wet and cool for a few weeks well have to decide on whether to try and chew green kochia or dessicate , but a post-harvest herbicide application is going to become more and more necessary. Who's gonna pay for this shit? I'm tapped out!

In the words of the infamous Bill Clinton.....I feel your pain.

Does that help.

Combines going fast as they can to finish the lentils before the rain. It looks like a week of wet coming. I wish it was July 17.
