Friday Crop Report on a Thursday!

[Sheepwheat]

Rained here all day yesterday. Not lots, but enough to make dirt road impassable. High was 12. Just finished baling. That feeling of completing a task before a nice rain never gets old. Rain will help new hay and pastures recover. This area was weirdly dry.

September weather finally showed up.

A miracle happened this year in this area. For a mainly June seeded crop and to have it half harvested by now is amazing. Haven’t heard lots of yields yet. Variable is what I can say. From awesome to less than awesome and everything in between.

Good luck getting it done. Forecast is kind of iffy now. Lots of swathed cereals. I’ll never understand that I guess.

We had a short day yesterday, only managed 200 acres and at 8pm we were crawling at 1mph with all combined grunting time to quit. Cart auger decided to screw up yesterday also, flighting welds let loose from shaft so spent last night heating, cutting, a lot of sledge hammering and welding, but ready to put back in this morning. Looking like a small day today with the fog heavy this morning.

I do like the one liner though …. “Crops here are decent enough 65-70 some up to 90-100”

No sure how interpret the “decent”

Oh well

How do you like the 9.9 ?
We like ours so far
Be nice to push a little more through and keep rotor loss down .
Still learning ours but very happy so far .

Farmboy you must be a liberal or a grain buyer !

Lol not sure which is a bigger insult.

Yes some farms have enough storage to store their entire crop. But do they also own railways and car fleets that are capable of moving the entire crop in September? Industry cant move it all off the combine no matter how much storage there is. Will always be more guys wanting to haul in Sept than January.

It’s impossible to move the entire crop on Sept , no one saying or insinuating that here ever .
Probably could of last year though if they tried

canola is taking a little longer to dry down here could be a problem later.

This time of year with days getting shorter quickly the swather will work 2-3x quicker than spraying …. Pod shatter or not , sometimes the swather still more effective

Everything has its place and time
I would never “sell the swather”

That is why it was invented 100 yrs ago.
To speed up harvest,and get rid of the green shit that never seems to mature.

Spraying our 1st bly field today.
5 bushels of heads on the ground then 3 inches of rain.

"I can’t wait to finish harvest so I can start spending money on next yrs crop.
Get your inputs early boyzs for BIG savings, and take advantage of product while it lasts.
Shortages are a coming.

Maybe it’s time to for:
1 800 Call Monette"

By the looks of his lentil crops around here that number might "no longer be in service."

Wheat markets are still speculating on possible quality issues as harvest starts to wrap in some areas. It’s still a bit too soon to tell how widespread any actual damage might be, but the buzz is about fusarium and ergot. Globally, there are rumors that Russia will have logistical challenges with not being able to supply railcars for movement, and this could have an effect on China’s purchasing power out of North America. Despite talk of tight supply, prices maintain for another week. Bids range from $11.00/bu delivered into central SK this week, while feed wheat shows bids around $8.50-$9/bu depending on area and freight costs. Durum markets still have a low tone for the 4th quarter, but if quality issues come to fruition, we could see some value on milling quality in 2023

StatsCan reduced its Canadian canola production forecast to just shy of 19.1 MMT. A bounce back from last year, but by no means a bin buster with yields falling short of trend line yields. Couple that with lower carry in supplies from last year, and a forecasted recovery in global veg oil markets, Canadian supplies are likely to remain snug. Locally, harvest basis values have been attractive and perhaps indicative of longer-term tighter supplies. Local bids are location dependent and range from $17.35-$17.75/bu FOB farm.
