This is what I'm thinking................ cause those little suckers are so thick. Whats your thoughts?:d

If what you call soybean aphids are bothering your cattle you should call a professional out to the farm and have some more research done!!! Just sayin

Wheat usually goes around 90 and barley around 120. Normally put about 120 lbs of nitrogen and 80 of the blend in the spring time. Occasionally we will put more liquid on in June around spraying time if it looks like it will help.

Not to be a jerk! but sorry kid your full of shiz!!! you might have low area's and draws where the greenstar monitor will jump to 100 bushels but thats about it.

i dunno scotts maybe you gotta slow down a bit and get less waste. when i was helping the grandfather when he was still farming we would easy hit well over 100 an acre with barely yearly average was always around 115-120 with barley.

Well after a day of bad storms it is back to being hot. Worked with my cattle yesterday and they were not happy. The crops used it and like the storms tho. So it was good to get some rain with this heat now.

Barley possibly.. Average 100 bu Canola in northern Alberta= dreamland, I think alot of that north country was closer to 10bu/ac last year. Out of 2200 ac of canola I will be lucky to average 35-40 in all reality and thats with as much as 180lbs actual N,

yikes thats enough to just about make a man cry.
i know driving home and around the country you can sure tell the difference between the guys who got in before the long weekend and after. most everything done after is pretty sketchy looking.

If I get a chance I'll get some pics of the hail damage around here, the hail took out all the crops, canola is green and flat, wheat, barley, oats and hay, all done in by the hail, nothing at all left, it's enough to make one cry

no kidding. friggen comodities prices are going to skyrocket this year, with all the acres that didn't even get seeded then top it off with all the hail ravaged crops will be a pretty big blow into the amount of grain out there.


at least the guys that make it to harvest should be smiling this year.

shheeet scotts you must be in a depressed area, brown soil or clay. vermilloin can't be much of a farm area, maybe move if ya can't make the numbers. i now red deer area can make better numbers than that. shheeet move vermillion sucks, or sell to huttes.

Is it possible to chop any of that downed crop for silage? Or is it too hard to take up once it's been downed like that? Or is it even too early for it to be good for that. Just curious.

Most of the time if you claim it under insurance they won't let you bale or silage it, but if it's not covered you can do what ever you want with it, but even if you wanted to silage it, it's so flat you won't get much off out of it anyways.

Seems a shame to plow it into the ground if all the graid hasn't been pounded off the plant. You farmers are an inventive lot, should figure out how to build a maching that can pick up the downed crops, go into the crop salvage business....

Go ahead and cry. I do it all the time .Lol. Sorry to hear the news. Hope you are loaded up on hail insurance.

It's not to hard with crop lifters, but it all depends on how many rocks there are too.

My buddy has litters on his combine and they suck for the tangled up, kinked stubble.

And as for the hail insurance we will probably get some, but it's all around us that have gotten hail, our crops are all still standing, but to the south a few miles they have nothing left, and that's to close to home so we are getting insurance for our crops soon

Hey guys I am away at work and was just wanting an up date on the haying situation back home near Thorsby? are guys cutting yet? and how wet are the fields still?

Installed Flexifingers on my combine last year. A bit pricey but made a difference.

When it comes to a tangled up mess, patience is all that works!
