Well did some wheat , best spots are 48, and the poor high 30s. Protein 15.7
I was blaming the poor look on lack of N
But soil tests only called for 20-30 and I put on close to 40.
It was just short rain I guess.

15.7 protein you have more N than you can use.

Certainly appears fertilizer will be more expensive than last year. How will this affect long term production and prices is anybody’s guess.

Certainly getting very dry here. Barley is being combined. Where the hail missed yields are above average. Lots of pre harvest applications are done and still under way. Canola being swathed. Hope to be combining next week.

Yes..865..
We fall apply..
Usually buy Aug 1st..

[beaverdam]

Much the same in this area
Yields will be all over the map probably around average at best . We were close to a big crop but lack of rain at a critical time probably chopped 20-30% off depending on crop and staging

tubs, furrow,
we're in the same boat. Last significant rain was July 19th, it was pretty steady before that,,, then has been shut off for the last five weeks. Crop looked like a bin buster, but with shallow roots, and the heat here, it's been going downhill every week. Not sure we'll make avg by harvest time unless we get an inch before then. Later plant has defiantly been hurt more.

Durum seeded May 9 is in de bin #1 dry. 2 1/2 inches of rain fell there 3-7 days after planting.

What did she run

[mcfarms]

Drive of shame taking my old combines home. no X9s for me.

And what did the dealer or deere do to apologize for not fulfilling at least the spirit if not the terms of the sales contract.

SFA right?

Our salesman will never have trouble going Number 2 again, there are guys out here with no machines and headers , guys with machines with multiple sizes of headers and guys with machines and only pick up headers.
What a colossal Cluster f%^$ and a lack of communication from Deere corporate to its customers without question a world class piss poor job they've done, not only from a delivery aspect its a complete lack of respect and added stress for the people that write the oversized cheques that keep them employed.

Too many townies running an Ag business and this is what u get. She’s all about the shareholder not the stakeholder. But we continue to buy and feed these arrogant *****

[iceman]

The former red guys get their X9s first or the guys who deal directly with corporate for deals. You need to understand you’re place on the food chain SF3.

It’s pretty good Jazz. Drop in, Have a beer with me and you can come for a round except we finished that piece last night, next piece a few days out yet. Close to LA.

It sure is interesting how the buck stops with the farmer if we are one tonne short on a contract we have to pay up. Meanwhile the huge corporate dealerships can sell you several million dollars of machinery, not delivery, blame the parent company and the supply chain and it’s all good.

Imagine if we were short a grain contract with Richardson and we could just say “ not enough rain we’ll haul it in when we have it.” So sick and tired of being taken advantage of 6 different ways.
