Friday Crop Report Thanks Giving week.

And yes definitely the AF/CR demos turned a lot of heads in this area as well , the big new twins impressed everyone but the surprise was the AF10 , its performance was amazing for a single rotor from those that demoed it .
Several new ones bought and traded in the works .
Definitely going to put pressure on Deere and Class for those in that market .

Demos certainly are interesting. One X9 1000 demo in my area versus S780. FD135 on 780, HDF40 on the Deere. This was on soft white wheat yielding 80-90 bushels. 2.8 mph on S780, 5 mph on the X9. Similar results in the area comparing a Case Ih 9260 versus the new AF10. Local dealer had a day where you could view the new Af 9,10 and 11. Have heard issues with overheating transmission on both the AF and CR 11 on road trips over 6 miles and premature wear on chopper knives. I am sure it will take a few years to get rid of the bugs.

I'm just probably going to regret not pausing the last few pivots of canola and getting calves weaned and sold before Carney trades away the beef sector too based on what the us trade secretary said about moving all vehicle assembly to the US. The Liberals are running out of Western commodities to screw over for eastern jobs that are going away anyhow.

It’s embarrassing how so called farmers on here just don’t get what’s going on
Or they simply want to see others fail to their level
it makes no other sense

Trust me if the liberals or any government in power absolutely screwed over the forage market I would absolutely be in agreement on a direct payment to forage seed / hay production without question
yet it’s so bizarre the other way around now , they are extremely adamant that no canola or pulse producer ever get such a payment they don’t receive either, it’s extraordinarily petty on their part
it’s such a petty argument their their mentality and it shows in all of society now

But then again for the most part it’s the ole CWB mentality “all for one and one for all until I get mine then screw you”
so sad

Regardless I hope Forage , your forage production is decent this year and no insane federal policies ruin your markets this winter
all the best , be better than Chuck

The past 10 years of Liberal / NDP nonsense has cost western Canadian farmers billions in lost revenue from India and China
two of the most populous countries on earth that need food
it’s crazy how anyone can defend the past situations and berate canola and pulse producers for not at least speaking out for their livelihood

furrow we have been doing 28 with the sprayer also and it sure livens up the wild oats what kind of streamers yo use we have the ones with 5 streams wondering if i would be better off with one stream per nozzle 20 inch spacing

I also have a set of Needham stream bars for in crop streaming
they work very well but at the end of the day we are short rain in July so have not used them much
Great idea , but just not for this area 80 % of the time
We just don’t get those extra rains to justify it most of the time for that application

If the 10" snow happens Sunday...field work is OVER! Better not be canola standing....In our neck of non woods all going HARD putting NH3 and dry fertilizer on. We busy! Most fields sprayed pre or post harvest...

Can't say average or normal yields as they vary and have been going up for 20 years? As good as 2024, not as good as 2023.

all the best ,

Insane US government policy have often been favorable to forage producers.

When things were bad in the 80's they had the set aside where they seeded millions of acres back to grass.
Where do you get seed for millions of acres?
Canada helped our friends with that.

Then forest fires were a problem with mud slides after on the burnt over slopes.
Need forage seed to fill state government warehouses to be ready to seed all that burn right after the fire.

Now we have funding for cover crops to absorb all that evil CO2.
Regenerative ag covers all kinds of seed cost south of the border.
Even here in Canada the will send out a mentor to supervise and buy you some seed to make everything green and happy.
Where do they get all that seed for all those acres that wouldn't be there without a program?
All over the world.
China has a huge program to green what had been abused and overgrazed.

Can make for ups and downs like all of ag.
But insane programs can be OK if you can time them.
Very few can actually produce salable product.

All I ever did was bale the straw.
