Friday Crop report on a Thursday! Week 2.

[Taiga]

Probably seeding in Bonanza, was over there a couple of weeks ago and was even drier there than it is at home.

[furrowtickler]

Not super uncommon in SW Sask to SW Alberta ? Maybe a bit early .
interesting that far north in Peace River county though .
One drill still in snowbank here
Be early May as usual for us here.
could get colder than some forecasts say for the next 10-14 days . Time will tell

ITS A FILLER, we can’t grow lentils or Durum

[BTO780]

Durum is a filler now! Barley prices are a joke, so it’s a filler too.

Exciting times in ag.

[blackpowder]

And here we go again.
Crossing our fingers we break even on wheat because we can't seed anything else there.
Puke.

[SASKFARMER]

Wheat paid for a lot of stuff in the last few years.

Wheat paid for a lot of stuff in the last few years.

With yields like yours I sure hope it is.
Take 50 bu off yours see how the numbers look.

I have some wildly different input numbers...
Axial will be 22 on its own.. a nice chem like stellar is 7 ....
our rents arent that bad.. and 75$ fert covers 100 lbs actual N...

Give or take

In all seriousness, has anyone gone back to their landlords and discussed a rent decrease? I talked to one recently and they are actually open to the idea. We increased big time when crop valuws went up but when i showed them these numbers...
I asked them..
if i pay you 100$/ ac.. thats more than i can make if i have a good ,( 70 bushel) wheat crop.
It kind of opened their eyes.

[Taiga]

I wish fert was only $75/ac, I am quite a bit higher than that (50% more).
