Friday Crop report on a Thursday. Week 20

[furrowtickler]

Crop is starting to ripen up and surprise surprise the weather has turned damp and cool. Crop fought back from the summer flooding to look respectable but delayed maturity in the flooded areas has made the crop uneven which will complicate harvest.

Ya forecast finally changed this morning. Figures

I would never go back from 10" spacing and straight cutting, haven't swathed in 3 years. Lentils just got a drink of diaquat. The Durum and canola just letting those beans ripen on the vine.

Each area is different, we straight cut about 60% and would never go back from 15 in spacing

High 50s on peas is a bumper in our area. Ours are running mid 30s and flat from storm last week. They never had a drop of rain in 47 days so weren’t expecting much better although the stand was there for 50. Having to cut them like lentils. Oh well only picked one rock so far in feeder. Rain today so no go till prob tomm.

Lentils I assume? The reds are standing nice however the small greens turned into a flat carpet. Have two different neighbours same issue combining in one direction, haven''t got into them yet but I suspect I'll be doing the same.

Let me get this straight now....$1 million land or $150 land rent, $1 million combines with 50' heads, $40 dollar an hour hired help harvesting a 1200 lbs crop of lentils worth $0.50 a lbs, picking it up one way.....how does this math work out? How did we get here?

I'm not sure who thought a crop and all the perilous things that can happen to it, plus all the twists and turns of a world market place was going to pay for all this or better yet....SCIC be depended on to pay for it.

Bad storms last night . Large hail and 2-4 inches of rain. 20 miles from us. Some crops I would take the hail this year , ie . Canola.

[BTO780]

No rain here in 45 days, some land hasn’t seen it for 55.

Patiently waiting for the white combine. Sooner or later will have to go get what’s out there.
