Is that variety pod shatter straight cut?

Starting to be able to see canola from the road. Looks even and extremely nice. Just late.
Area is getting to be slightly more green every day. Weed spraying started yesterday. Cereals look great, but very late. Lots of fields I assume are canola, but it’s only been seeded a bit more than a week. Give it time, it’ll come.

We just need frost free until October imho. Which does happen. But not very often. If this crop makes it, it WILL be big. Just need a timely rain mid July, and that should be enough. Soil profile is fully recharged, subsoil to spare.

Conditions here are extremely good right now. We missed the insane flooding rains for once.

Hay is tremendous. I hope to cut next week. Should easily be a second cut for once. Two cuts, each at twice the yield of last year might happen.

Pasture is also awesome. Timing sheep moves is difficult, but in a good way, as they can scarcely keep up. What was borderline enough grazing last year, is too much this year in the feeling of wasted feed!

Seeding alfalfa tomorrow. Field it is going on is finally prime and fit, no more slime to the surface.

Son and my wife got their beehives yesterday, always cool to watch the bees.

The story in this area is the mosquitos. They are so bad one can hardly function. And this year they are causing more itching and more reactions than other years. Others have noticed this as well.

Sheepwheat if you got plenty of grass and the critters are tromping it into organic matter that isn’t wasting. Far better to be building your soil when you can than pillaging it continuously like some folks do while grazing. I believe that soil is like karma………… hopefully some nice things done to it today will payoff down the road hopefully 😉

Totally true. I’ve been enjoying watching the soil rebuild and how fast it has been happening since incorporating animals. The piece I’ve been rolling out hay for a few years now, is green and lush with grasses and Forbes. And it was grainland. I never seeded it with grass, never fertilized it, yet there it is, lush dark green grass, seeded from the hay. Greg Judy and Gabe Brown (sorry, swear word in these parts), would be proud of me!

It is a luxurious year to be a stock grower in the greens dept.

[QUOTE=fjlip;542864]So someone help, why the sideways pictures? this stupid. Why limit picture size? Never a clear high def pic from my iPhone. Is this an apple thing?…

I always crop the top and bottom of the picture off to get it to be correctly oriented.

This is done by doing an edit to the picture which allows it to be cropped.

So who else thinks we just started to grow the most expensive crop ever in the history of farming in the world and the market is going to buy it for pennies on the dollar and laugh the whole time. **** we're a stupid breed oversupply oversupply.

Will now need 75 bushels per acre of canola to equal what I got last year.

Yes, most Dekalb are. 7565 is very good also but discontinued. Please don't grow any non shatter.

Cropped

Correct orientation but still low DEF?

Little bit of rain, mixed with bit of heat and boy does canola go to town.

Yup reality should be kicking to exactly what was going to happen
Gouge like bandits on high grain prices when virtually no one had any .
Base the massive increase on high grain prices , then as soon as input season just about done and grain prices tanking now input surpluses showing up , bastards
