Farmer talk

Put some peas in when the weather was nice. Need to spray pretty soon here but the weather not looking great. The dryland corners are really dry. This last snowstorm did not give us much moisture.

I'm getting nervous as well Johnny. We didn't do a preburn because no weeds were growing and now worried weeds will come same time as peas poke through.

 

[eclipse1966]

nope!

Are they imposing the same punitive damages on USA crops?

We have 1650ac of Wheat and Durum in the ground. There were some broadleaf weeds, no wild oats or anything but did a pre burn any way. Figured with the low weed germination better off to get the cereal in early then switch to lentils. None of it is out of the ground yet so hopefully it makes it. Seeding the non clearfield green lentils early last year we had russian thistle come in pretty bad. The Solo Ultra suppressed it on the clearfield but it came in after harvest.

Frost should burn off the weeds.

Frost should burn off the weeds.

Frost only hurts 800 dollar a bag canola seed.

If only the canola we produced was worth that much.

Getting pretty scary at 9 dollar canola and i still have alot unmarketed from last fall, this new crop advance will barry alota people on a bad year dont care what size farm u have a million dollar loan is tough to pay back. Alota guys in my areas inputs are 40bushel a acre canola to break even not alota wiggle room at those costs. Wish my rotation would allowed for more wheat this year but it is what it is

Yup all the government did today was give the western farmer more rope.

Zero attempt to fix the actual problem.

We need another cash crop to throw into the mix.

You by's that can grow soyabeans are lucky.

Finished seeding last night. All of our wheat, peas and lentils are up already. Doing the rain dance now!

Cold as **** up here. Most haven't started but next week will be a lot different.

Buddy of mine has a bunch of JCB equipment. Not sure how it lines up with the rest, but looks like the real deal.

Just say no to JCB... Some of the most aggravating equipment I’ve ever had to work on.

 

[Caper11]

I’m sure someone will write this off....

Free boat with a new tractor purchase. I wouldn’t mind the markup on the tractor.

Yeah but these guys get someone else to work on it though. All brand new stuff too, and they dont keep their equipment very long.


How about Fendt? I know people that run those and say they are the best

 

[jhurkot]

It hurts me to say this but fendt is probably the best tractor.

German engineering...?

 

[007sevens]

German engineering...?

Started out as a complete German Engineered Tractor. Then they gave Agro an interest in their transmissions. So you can get any Agro made tractor with their transmission in it however Fendt will hold the level of integrity of their products in their hands. At least this is what I understand. So Fendt is still Fendt built and German engineered but sold at Agro Dealers.
