Friday Crop report on a Thursday week three September.

Local big nuts has been rolling on canola. 25bu/ac is what hired men are saying for what they have done so far. And they have thousands of acres of burnt out canola. I have also heard 27 from another farm. Better get the orders in for a new fleet of equipment for next year. There’s another price increase coming!

Your certainly in a different weather pattern than here in central Alberta. The biggest problem here is the canola is so dry not throwing canola out the back end is difficult. Canola testing 4% moisture. Lots of pods in the sample. Best results are 1.2 bushels per acre of loss.

3-5.5 here, one batch couldn't test on the 919. Believe the Mads help.
Can get to .4 loss

Canola finally dry here by 2:30 pm after testing 12-12.5 all week

Started canola at noon testing 10.8, testing around 7.0 now but humidity is starting to creep up. Hopefully get another hour or so before we shut down. Will try the wheat tomorrow if the fog can stay away for a while.

Harvest 25 done.
hope weather is good for those still combining.

[furrowtickler]

No fog for the first time in about a week
hopefully get back to normal harvest days
last of the spraying for now
had to cover most of the bad hailed out stubble , regrowth is really showing exactly where and how bad the hail was in this area
hopefully the next flush gets frosted hard .
a lot of extra work time money and effort this fall due to that one big storm

Yes we have MAD finger grates in our combine. Neighbours with CR 9.90’s, same result. Haven’t heard now my cousins with S780 and S680 John Deere’s are doing. We were combining Croplan CP22T1C yesterday, easier to thrash than Pioneer 511 G. Basically the same yield. More to do today. This field is 2/3 Croplan, 1/3 a new Pioneer variety, 1530 G. Will be interesting.

Results with the 1540 have been very favourable in this area.
way different generation compared to the 500 series.
higher yields and finally much easier to thrash
1530 decent, but not a lot of results come off yet
we had 480 ac in but it’s our worst hailed canola . Had very big trial there with 8 varieties. Sucks it’s hit so bad , data will be useless there

We did some l340 which trashes nice,now on l358,large green stalkes makes for slow going,yielding good tho.Still have hailed 340 to do ,that will be depressing.So our yields on all crops are decent close to average, now when you factor in todays prices we will be down hundreds of thousands less in gross revenue than previos years.If something doesnt change we will have to make some hard decisions going forward.Thoughts?

[TASFarms]

Hundreds of thousands less in gross is one thing but the net takes a bigger kick in the ass.
When I do trials it’s always in the back of my mind that some bad happens. Because it has happened a few times.

Tryn to get away from going into the typical ag retail for everything.
