Where did all the "bumper" crop experts go all of a sudden?????????????

[farmaholic]

You would have to look at your soil test and find out what the percentage you are likely to get 50 bu. I'm guessing it's less the 20%

Rain rain rain. Without even a modest amount the rest is just spent money.

We are so tapped out of moisture now. 2021 could be very scary... we don't need a foot of rain to grow a crop but just some timely rains. In the meantime.... feel the stress.

So for go...

Sask 2020 average estimate for canola is 35 bpa. You're doing really well at 50.

I always get a kick out of yield talk ...when they promote a new fungicide where XYZ farmer got 6 bpa more using it but on average it was 3 bpa ...that means to average 3 bpa increase with the guy who got 6 bpa more....someone got zero benefit and wasted his money....

Now the 50 bpa canola crop to average to 35 bpa that means someone offset that 50 bpa with the equivalent 20bpa....50 + 20 = 70 / 2 = 35 bpa ...and it is happening...


See Neil Townsend uses a computer program with algorithms to make his bold predictions but really its just acres x yield all added up and divided by total acres....a two cent calculator does it....


I have met guys from crop insurance that measure bins....he doesnt name names and doesnt have to....he comment was no one get 50bpa canola yields across the board on their fields in this general area...

If they say it thats fine but their records show its not happening...

Sheldon's fun with flags.....Bucket's fun with math....lmao

They probably have some explaining to do to their clients that pay for good advice. Not dart throwing.

Anyone know what percent sold recommendations they gave to their 'clients' prior to harvest?

Oops looks like no bonus this year. Lmao!

Wonder how Townsend will attract new clients.....and his speaking fees should be falling like yields have in western canada...

You would think a guy like that would put out a statement to correct his prediction....although statscan will play with numbers for two years...

The industry is borrowing off new crop to make the numbers work....they are hoping for another monster crop next year....

There is no moisture in the ground for next year....I know its a long ways off but an inch this fall won't cut it it...

Like Jim Cramer.......sell sell sell !!!!!!!!!
