Wondering if guys are tweaking their rotations due to the recent change in grain prices? We usually leave a few fields up in the air till closer to spring and I think they are going to a multipurpose wheat. Never grown it before but the local g3 and P&H have a cp+ program that we are going to try and hit.
On our farm, cnl down, peas back in the rotation, oats are zero for the first time in a long time, barley flat and wheat up. Tempted to try some quinoa but might pass on that as well.

Cutting oat acres big time, more wheat and barley in its place, canola will remain the same.

Good yr to grow lots of peas and oats, seems those two are getting the biggest kick. I don’t grow oats. Lol
Early predictions have mustard going through the roof. Anyone getting into that one are now a yr behind.
Canola going up a little from last yr, some acres may be trimmed back with the plummeting prices, then again all crops are falling. Oh well got to seed something …. Or do we????
Not too late to rent for $150

Canola up, wheat down, some yellow peas again last two times have been awesome but 2019 was flat as a pancake and slow harvest so took a break. Also some clover hopefully comes through that I underseeded last year. No oats.

Underseeded clover here too. Should make it for snow cover. Don’t know what I’ll do with it. Fallow not cool here anymore.

More standing hay to meet the pending federal fertilizer requirement, until the East and hungry want it abandoned. I do think it builds soil, and I know it sure traps snow.

Wall to wall oats and a little canola and yellow peas, and going to try a small field of oat/pea and pea-ola intercrop...little or no fertilizer, just to compare yield. Hey, if turdope wants no fertilizer and sprays, I'll give it whirl, it's coming anyway no matter who the ruling tyrants are.

More corn going in, in the US… as fertilizer drops…. Prices favour corn planting… as China buys more corn each day…basis better on corn…

Cheers

Have thoughts of playing contrarian here but can’t stomach planting a bunch of worthless oats. Have a feeling they’re trying to buy more wheat acres. Off combine wheat and barley prices make better sense than canola. Never thought I’d ever say $15 off the combine isn’t great.

Last year only time I've ever seen oats from the road in my career. Thinking there's a mountain of it hiding somewhere. Not a traditional area here anyway.
No oats. Fd barley but presold was the only way I was going to seed it. Small percentage. Green peas small percentage.
Canola always the max rotation allows. Resistant wild oats bad enough in spots I'd go every second year if could.
The rest HRS. No CPS. Sold ~15-20% Ca and HRS.
Hoping for that spring rally.

I wonder as well with the Russia Ukraine thing. Russia is the big wheat grower and Ukraine big on corn. Folks over there saying Ukrainian output potential to be substantially lower than reported and shipping an absolute quagmire. Russian output isn’t exactly consistent and more reactive to weather conditions let alone economics than western nations. Granted a lot of demand these countries fill is lower value, and ability to pay more is trumped by ability to starve. This poop show has only been going for just over a year and I don’t think the full effects and consequences have been fully meted out. Russia is able to suffer and thrive to some extent, it’s wired into their dna, but are they able to keep agricultural production at a level to be a major world export player? Is Ukraine locked out of free seaborn shipping much? Is Brazil and Argentina locked out of Belarusian potash to some extent, and increased internal demand to fill the RFS going to not be as much an export player? Sorry for the ramble. Just some thoughts I’m mulling over a beer.
