My main beef today is with our PM. We use to live in a great country run by some pretty smart men right up till the Liberal experiment elected a retard.
Second time in a couple months some mental issued Canadian decided to Kill people in Toronto and where is our leader. Taking a personal day.
Come on Trudeau either be a leader or step down and let someone else run the place you are a complete failure.
To all the Canadian farmers who sit on their hands and just keep business as usual, here is a word of advising the squeaky wheel gets the grease and Nice guys finish last. In the world of farming, Canadian farmers are finishing last.
We have groups that take our money, who suppose to represent us and have failed. We can't ask for our money back because of its mandatory payment. We have a Pm that can't figure out a trade deal anywhere in the world. We have a useless AG minister in both Fed. and Prov.
Were basically run by morons and its not going to get better.
This is the 1980s all over again I said it happened before and those who don't study history will repeat. Well, here we go again. The USA will subsidize the Canadians will be boy scouts. Interest rates will go up for no reason at all. Equipment costs skyrocket. Can't stop inputs from rising as the market knows. Farmers will go broke.
It wasn't fun time to farm and I can bet the farm it will be worse this time around.
Equipment world is F#$K3D.
Priced out three one-year-old S780S for our three S690s that just were reconditioned in the shop front to back warranty till end of sept. The price difference between the three is the same as the Cash price on one new S780. If I lease the new one keep my three and go with four. This is insane. We will be joining the reconditioning club.
Ok here is the crop report.
The area did get rain Sunday morning our total for the year now is 9 in. One more rain exhibition week would finish the crop off nice and it would come in fast. We still are about a week to 10 days ahead of normal. So this weeks rain did advance crops and filling is happening very nice.
HRS is starting to turn and heads are filling nicely on early wheat. First seeded in the area is a very nice section. If you do yield calculations our area is on way to have a great wheat crop. I still don't think its a big as last year but the potential is there.
My yield calculation is from ND university.
Your row spacing is afoot. Use this.
Heads in one foot, ex 45
Count the seeds in the biggest and smallest head and average. Ex 36
Weight calculation is 35.
The final calculation is .00116.
So 45 x 36 x .00116 = 65.77 Bus a acre. What are others using? This has worked year in year out.
Peas ours suck but thanks for asking. Can't find the rep he must be MIA. All winter always at the shop. BASF's Spray viper did do damage as the area I sprayed with just Assure for wild oats will run very well and is tall filled nice. The area along seed grower I didn't spray is healthy and nice rest of fields I brought back to some life but still will be way lower production. Cost to me Around $100,000.00 fewer yield thanks.
Early peas in the area are starting to turn and a few at top of the valley have been desiccated with reglone. Harvest 18 is 10 days away.
Oats in the area is nice but some were damaged in the week of extreme heat after farm progress as you can see white tips. Still nice but could have used a drink a little on the earlier side.
Lentils I did find a few fields in our area they have two seeds per pod and are starting to shut down.
Barley is turning fast after the Sunday rain. Real early seeded is turning. Harvest will be sooner than some are realizing.
Very few soy fields and they need a rain soon to give great results.
Canola the area is down to less than 5% still in full flower. Fields are shutting down after close to 25 days flowering. Most fields had a full three weeks of full flower. Nice stands on most fields but it wasn't a year for pig shit as too hot. Oh well, first time poorer results with manure. Start cut could be interesting as lots of stages. I think a few will buy the swather or wish they didn't sell theirs. It looks like a very nice crop.
