Harvest Update September 2011

Things are happening now !
The Tiedes harvested the Peas in Strathmore ! There is an extremely good chance that these actual peas will really go to a country in need as part of a food aid program. We know that their value will also do so much to help the people of North Kivu in the Congo that we are helping out !

The VanHeyst canola ( near my elevator ) was harvested see pictures ! It got just over 30 bushels per acre. It worked well to deliver it straight in to the elevator... sometimes if you store canola it can begin to heat, or spoil... It's always better at the elevator than on the farm !

Steve an Lonnie Marvin at Brandon got the wheat harvested... It is #1 ! That is great to see. It also survived all the poor weather and ran just over 40 bushels per acre of very high quality wheat ! We'll determine a value on it when it is hauled to the elevator.

Good Earth Dave hasn't combined the canola before the weekend but I expect that to happen as soon as the rain dries up here.

No news from the Newbergs of Norquay on the canola but crops are quite good in that area... as usual ! The Hudye's and Helping Feed the World haven't reported yields yet but it is looking very good !

I'll post the Melfort Adventure I had this week next !

It is such a good feeling seeing all this come together once again... Thank you to our real and virtual farmers for all you've done this year

Stay tuned !
