Friday Crop Report on a Thursday!

Poundmaker feedlot was buying a little wheat for the ethonal plant starting in 1991.They preferred to buy from shareholders but you could get a load in every now and then. Feeding cattle there probably helped.
Graded as feed of course but CWB wasn't moving much and prices ....

Started putting Beer in the ground.

If you plant cans do you harvest kegs? 🍻

Dad tells me back in those days with 4 bu quota they’d haul on quotas of hill farmers and drunks who didn’t grow much more than wild oats and feed. When final payment came out the drunks had a good drunk. The honest old guys would give it to dad which would be split. I honestly couldn’t understand how anyone with half a brain would support the you know what if remembering those times.

Dad let a guy haul oats on his quota because he fed all his . The guy said just to keep final payment and turned out final was about $0.90 about the same as initial. And Yes dad did buy a bottle of whisky and laughed all the way to the bank

Finally got a shower this morning. Probably soak away and we’ll be going by dinner but nice to see moisture. Wheat and early seeded oats starting to germinate but odd bit of seed was sitting in dry so this shower will help. Was down to wainwright yesterday and some wheat up already. Some dormant seeded wheat around here is also doing well and coming up.

Speaking of conspiracy theories... I had a fella tell me the other day that windshield wipers were for wiping rain off the window. Its patently false, all I've ever used them for is clearing the caked on dust away!

Good lord, people will believe anything these days.

2nd thought, does anyone know how deep you can set your drill before you have to mark pipelines and buried cables with "Alberta 1 Call"?

Have I mentioned its dry? I quit last night because I couldn't physically see the fencelines and sloughs that I had to turn around at.
