2022

I am very concerned about the input cost squeeze already underway. If prices revert to the mean pretty fast which they usually do, fixed costs are a lot more sticky and some become permanent.

Some of you probably havent grown a crop that doubled in price in mere months. As a former flax grower I have seen that a couple times and they never stayed. Now all the major crops have done it.

I'm expecting peas ( and other pulses) to be up substantially due to fertilizer prices.

By spring, wheat and feed grains should have stabilized to world prices, considering the world wide nature of their production. But the crops we have near monopolies on could persist for longer, especially with the threat of continued drought. The price may not buy many cereal acres, but the cheaper seed and lower risk in a drought might?

I could see canola go on canola next year. So question for the input guys. If my fertility was there for a 50 bu canola crop and it made 10 bu, how do you sit there with a straight face and tell me I need to put on 70# of N?

Always can top dress canola next June if conditions are favourable .
Canola very elastic for fertility. N and S easy to apply after crop establishment.
Also by mid next June fertilizer prices may come back down to earth ?
Ridiculous cost now

A common theme emerging here, I see.

So ask yourselves this...is it good public policy to ignore farmers and ranchers?

They should be looking to start a program to ensure there will be feed for guys by pasture time in 2022 or we will lose another 25 percent of the herd.

This area was 60% canola THIS year, lots on Canola, next year 40% or C on C on C?

My prediction durum will be grown from Minot to Meadow Lake.

Factor in a drought for 2022 and it would have to be to rebuild stocks?

Just asking for a friend, but how far north can durum be grown. What's the yield compared to HRSW, can a guy pour the coals to it.

Very iffy north of Hwy 16

Soil test labs are going to be busy !

A late harvest in a wet yr will guarantee #5 or worse durum. Fusarium and unsellable. Dig a hole.

Guys went mental in 2016.

Late maturing.but new varieties have less straw than older varieties.think if a person seeded early or can be grown further north.mother nature in the fall will have the last say.
