Friday Crop Report on a Thursday!

I heard no cwb quota and poor cwb prices in 68 had to store the wheat until 1974 when it hit 4 or 5 $ a bushel !

A lot of education over the years !

4 bu/acre Wheat quota at $0.60/bu....dad and Grandpa traded many Bu for machinery and repairs, even a Behlen shed!

Seems so fitting so far this spring for many ..

The vast majority of snowflakes these days would not last a week doing what we all do day in and day out . All on a hope a prayer 🙏

Guys relax! Those bad memories of frost and late harvests was the old days before the earth started heating up and Canada 3 times faster that the rest of the world. Should be plenty of time to mature a crop in these modern times and years and years catastrophe warming!

68-69 somewhere in there ,the powers that be traded wheat for a demo Allis Chalmers D21 I think 90cents /bushell. , they were too cheap to put AC in it , so a bycool cab cooler, had her already for the day, full of water, neighbour got stuck ,I unhooked, and drove thru a ditch to cross the road to pull him out.
That was one cold shower of ice cold water thru that fan.
First AC was a new 75 steiger what a dream, cool clean, bostrum seat,no getting stuck, and it would actully turn at the end of the field

This is what I was told by a retailer trying to promote some kind of new crap.

“Min 2 bushel bump guarantee in cereal for $14.5 an acre almost seems like a no brainer this year”.

With high commodity prices wonder how many gullible guys he talked this into.

Sorry I’m not the guinea pig anymore.

If it’s so good let me try 160 ac.

Even though you can’t buy much fert for $14 ac I would use more of that ... to me that’s a “no brainer”.

My parents got married as well in ‘79👍
