    End of season Crop Report

    Good morning, it looks like Sask will get to 99% done harvesting today.

    North of us a few acres still out but the next few days it might get completed. Snow pushed crop down so harvesting is slow.

    Fall field work is close to completion as I need three days and all quarters were harrowed. 5 good days needed for mandako of sloughs and three to 5 on the track hoe.

    Leaving for Florida on the 7 Th November.

    Now that the 2025 crop is done and most are surprised it turned out not that bad. Even I am surprised.

    But if you think 70 wheat is a bumper crop I'm sorry to inform you it's the new average with varieties and if you fungicide and juice it. If you had 10 years of drought it's not going to happen next year unless you spend huge dollars on Fert etc.

    Peas and lentils had good yield but prices are down hard a poor pea crop of 30 next year might give you $210 a acre or a massive loss.

    Glad tapped out and can't give big massive yields.

    Barley a 100 on malt varieties is normal.

    It's 150 is normal.

    Canola 40 is a failure withtodays practices and 80 across thousands of acres doesn't pan out every year without slot of inputs.

    So what looks good in 2026? Right now nothing?

    Land I think has peaked and rent will stay high as farms need acres to pay the bills.

    Fert is way to high given today's crop prices.

    Seed Canola is way to high.

    Check out the last quarter profits if grain companies. Yea we are getting ****ed on exchange for sure. They are going to be make ng cash like a cartel selling drugs.

    Ottawa will sacrifice Western farmers and do nothing and a few trade missions will get us min price help.

    Basically hang on the ride is going to get really interesting.

    Have a great fall and winter.

    Add or challenge my thoughts.

    Most farmers I talk to are stressed right out. It’s not good. Fabulous yields shouldn’t stress people out.
    I have a 240 foot windrow composting. Added 3 1400 kg bulk bags of volcano phos. Rock phosphate was $460MT delivered to the yard. Going to make my own biology to break down the rock phosphate. Rock phosphate is a$165mt picked up from the mine.
    wollastonite is dirt cheap. Pay more in shipping than it’s worth to get it here. Ontario has a program where they cover the cost of wollastonite and application you just have to cover trucking.
    There is some research going on about what happens when wollastonite is spread on the land. Calcium picks up carbon when it splits from silica taking carbon from the air.
    plants need more silica,best insecticide money can buy.

      Sprayer winterized today.

      Yes it was in the heated shop for a good two weeks

      Sprayed last week the Crop aid for saline spots and my recommendation if you ever do order twice what you think to do spots.

      Also if you have Deere combines use office and mark spots when harvesting

      Off to mandako a bunch.

      Down to 10 quarters left to heavy Harrow.

      30 to mandako.sloughs might not get all done.

      .

        After a couple weeks of cold wet weather that must have dropped 2 to 2.5 inches of rain and snow it’s finally sunny again.
        Would really like to get NH3 on but fields are really wet and some spots have water!
        Going to need some really nice weather to make any field work possible.
        I find getting the nitrogen on in the fall really makes spring planting a breeze.

          Rare bit of crop out here. Lots of nh3 going on, in spite of how wet it is. Last two dumps of snow and accompanying rain have our topsoil very damp. Great conditions for application. Roads have been a mess. Everyone hoping to beat rain on Monday as at this time of year the end could happen anytime.

                    Nice weather, all will get their fall fertilizer done.
                    each farm regardless of size could add many acres .
