Friday Crop Report on a Thursday!

[AlbertaFarmer5]

One crop I neglected to mention, is faba beans. Wow do they ever like all this moisture. Must be 4 ft tall solid and lush and not a drown out anywhere to be seen.

More acres then I remember seeing ever before as well.

I should have grown all fava beans instead of canola the way things look today.

Does it make good silage? It would sure make a lot of tons.

If it rains…when it doesn’t, the shine comes off of them.

A Ferrari-red flying car is could soon become every commuter’s dream come true: It would fly over miles of gridlock to work, land and then drive a mile or two to their parking spaces.

Samson Air’s Switchblade, which has been 14 years in the making, is now ready for its next series of tests. Previously, we reported the Oregon-built vehicle was gearing up for road tests. On July 15, the Federal Aviation Administration determined it was safe for flight, so the flying car could be weeks away from going to market."

I remember in the sixties Popular Mechanics was highlighting an American-built (also red) flying car much like this one. They were taking deposits and going into production but it didn’t seem to take off.

Perhaps that is why it remained a car. It wouldn't take off!

Yes, a few farmers tried faba beans locally after a string of wet years, thinking they were the answer to tolerating the water. And of course it didn't rain, and they were pitiful. Which has scared me off of growing them.
This goes back to my original post, if we had any decently usable long term forecasts, we could plan accordingly. Dry year such as last year, grow canola and barley, wet year such as this, faba beans, wheat. etc. I haven't found any forecasts to be that useful yet.
