Friday Crop Report on Thursday!

[SASKFARMER]

Well, the Starter fertilizer is in place.

New to us Crawler should decide today.

New Trackhoe or used should decide today.

The flight changed again thanks to west jet.

The wild boar hunt starts Monday. Well, get the ****er.

No Ammonia price for Christmas yet thanks to no dealer since the completion Bureau turned down the deal last month and now has 3 new buyers just waiting and costing us farmers more every day.

Phoned Australia had a great chat $32.00 that's what friends are for.

Have a great Friday all.

Been going through my soil tests last couple days (I’m my own agrologist/agronomist), couldn’t imagine paying one of them after a drought. I’ve had all precision companies come to the farm to try and convince me to sign up, my comment was “if you can make it rain when I need it, where’s the dotted line”.

Anyway soil tests are not bad P is low on some. Least it’s cheaper then N. 🤣🤣
Thankfully I’ve been pounding the nutrients down when fert was “cheaper”. The calculator needs an extra zero this go around. Lol.
Funny how my retailer I support the most has the highest prices. Sorry boys it’s like Christmas shopping I’m looking around.
Usually by now I know exactly what every quarter will get seeded to and fert is bought. I’m so far behind I think I’m ahead.

I get my soil tests done by a third party then have a program to run scenarios

The hail mary pass throws everything at it is off the table.

The crop insurance model yield is off the table.

somewhere in between will work this year.

With fertilizer prices through the roof and so much of the land in the three prairie provinces having huge levels in them, will fert actually be in shortage situation? Not many farmers need to apply much, and those that do are they going to go all in?
I hope the above article will open. If not I will past the entire thing on.

Very good article on residual N and the Birch effect with the microbe flush.
The key is the 24 inch soil test. 6 inch test are good for minerals that don't move like P and K and maybe some micros.

The part about the fall regrowth you want to read carefully.

Start all.

Looks like COMAIRCO in Regina is a Saskatchewan dealer.

Check out Premium Power Packs, I didnt buy one yet but I talked to him at Agritrade and he talked a good game. Small light units easily charged and stay charged.

As for the JCB I don't have experience with their trackhoes but have a skidsteer, heads up is parts prices in NA make ag parts shops like dollar stores and availability is slow. I've gotten parts delivered to my door directly from UK dealer for less than half price. Also used an aftermarket supplier that deals in JCB stuff in Europe that has an Ontario dealer.

JHC saskfarmer has more construction equipment than my RM does.

I found this statement interesting, and validating what I have been counting on as well:
Heard said in a wet environment regrowth could act as a cover crop and provide some benefits including reducing nitrogen losses to leaching or denitrification.

I'm more concerned about getting the nutrients back eventually, along with some additional organic matter and opportunity for the soil life to thrive.
