Good thing you pulled that hawksbeard, you saved up to 50,000 seeds from entering the weed seed bank! I've had that weed get completely out of control (land new to me). It's a bearcat once it gets going.
Always enjoy your crop updates! I’m a retired farmer now running a B&B in a Japanese ski resort, I’m from New Zealand. Retired at 38😂 to pursue a mtb career in our off seasons,now 55. Our business is strictly winter only so from April to November I’m unemployed, if you need someone next season I’m keen to get in touch with you. Pretty confident at running large equipment, grew up on tractors from a very young age. Anyway, looking forward to the harvest videos!
You think not walking through your field is a better scouting job… if that was true no agronomist would be hauling a ATV around or walking through fields…
@@6by6by6 While walking to the variations spotted by using the drone you look at the crop average. you would be amazed at how different the crop looks from above. The tech isn't there to tell you what is causing the variation but it's alot easier to see the variation from above than ground level.
40 bsh / ac, that's like 2,7t /ha right? That does show why everything needs to be a bit larger in your part of the world. For us the last year with 7,5t/ ha was a bad year. All the best.
If red wheat does better in dry conditions, wouldn't it make more sense to plant the durum early and wheat late? I know there is limited harvest equipment/labor but does that outweigh the difference in yield potential? I know winter planted barley will get its roots down 6 ft, while spring plantings may only get down 3-4 feet. (Granted this is where it can survive winter, but the point is the difference early planting can make in root development and chasing the soil moisture.)
My prediction😂😂. You will combine your wheat Aug 15. Going to turn fast. White combine was thru here Monday night. Cleaned up a bunch in 5 minutes. Couple shorts on my youtube
Mike, as a long time follower and huge fan I'm so ashamed to correct you, but it buggers my OCD as a Plant Protection Engineer (or as my Diploma says in Hungary, "Plant Doctor" wich is a slight overkill IMO), (and I don't want to be a grammar nazi, couse I can't even spell english words well), but the pronunciation of the chickpea disease is not 'Astycyta', but 'Ascochyta', sorry to be nosy :D
Mike I know this is nothing compared to the scale you are there or the conditions but it’s crazy to see 30 bushel wheat I’m down in southern Illinois if you know where that is on my small family farm and we grew about 130 acres of wheat this year and our lowest average was 88 bushel to the acre crazy difference highest this year was about 96 or 97 had a really good year that was about 105 on a field
Nothing stirring on that vast ocean of farmland except for Mike and his pet horsefly. He doesn’t leave the house without that thing. If you’re a local, many times you’ll see Mike on the road,with the horsefly strapped into a special,high seat on the passenger side. Other times the horsefly will be riding with its head out the window,its tongue lolling and its ears flapping in the wind. Other times the horsefly will be driving, and Mikes head will be sticking up through the sunroof.
I would love to know why u have such disease pressure in your chickpeas with that little moisture...we've had almost double the amount of rain here in southern AB on our chickpeas and we've only gone over them twice with a fungicide app...mind u the 2nd app was just a precaution tbh...we use a a few biological products on every acre ( especially pulses) for stress relief on crops too so it would be really really interesting to know if thats the difference
I was wondering why they have to spray so many times, too! On the Palouse, we typically only spray 1 time. On bad years, we may spray twice. All I can think is the variety Mike's using has no built-in resistance like our varieties have. Or maybe the fungicide Mike's using doesn't have a very long residue. We typically get 3 weeks to a month out of the products we use.
You could have some of our rain, it's been raining more than every other day here in Finland (Europe). Last year the farmers that leased my parents field (they used to be dairy farmers), couldn't even harvest half their crops cause the fields were so wet that they couldn't drive on them. This year it's rained even more. And the forecasts just promise more rain almost every day.
Well, you are entitled to your opinion but my crop insurance bin measurements of that field would disagree with you. If you are going to insinuate that I am lieing, atleast tell me of what I would gain from that? I have pictures of the chickpea plants (in low spots) brushing the bottom of the Case sprayer fuel tank, and with some plants reaching 101 pods! That's insanity 😳😆🤷🏼♂️ Sign into Patreon and l'll throw them up!
Also, if we go back to 2004, the yellow field pea crop averaged (across the farm) 60bu and it was flat on the ground and terrible to cut with a 1989 9600 combine with an old 930 header. But we had plants 8ft long! Infact, we took a plant and stapled to a 8ft chunk of board and its still hanging in the shop to this very day to prove it.. I ll snap a picture of that one as well for Patreon, just let me know when you your are there and ready.
Or the guy responsible for paying all the bills can invest his time on the ground in his fields assessing his crops in real time looking for any matrix he wishes.. Good farmers are hands on.. non farmers make stupid comments about drones
By Christmas the crooks will realize they were wrong about production. This won’t be the first time. I know of one guy who has a 70 bu looking durum stand and he took tow loads to his local elevator … it’s feed. Light weight crap. It’s going to be a disaster.
@@davezalinko1354 My brother took a sample of one of his fields for durum and it was 51lbs. 40bu stand and running 27bu. I hope that improves or it will be huge loss - bigger than last year (even with more bushels) because I went all on on inputs because the crop was there.

Thanks make for taking the time for crop update. Looking forward to combining again.
I can't wait for harvest videos.
A video with no wind is crazy
Good luck there.

Get on his website n send him an email
Be great Mike even if you get average harvest
All the best hope you get a little more rain to keep things going
Hopefully you have a great harvest
3 week behind videos Mike must be full swing with harvest at the moment down south
On the long weekend I seen combines going between Swift Current and Calgary.
In Montana they have been harvesting for a while now.
@@elizabethliska5377that’s summer wheat most likely.
@@robtaylor6806 peas, winter wheat, lentils and today spring wheat. North east Montana we’ve been going for 2 weeks now.
@@sknierim10 damn y’all get an early start on lentils. Nice. Y’all be safe. Still got about a 3 weeks before we even start.
Crops look better than last year
Mike get yourself a drone to see the variations in the field so know where to look to see why
Let Mike loose with a drone are you crazy?
Even out in the middle of nowhere Mike will find something to crash into, most likely himself! 😂🤣😂

In South Australia our crops aren’t even shooting flag leaves
Love your Crop Tour Videos! Keep it up :D
Salut Mike magnifique vidéo et les grands champ de blé est magnifique me pas facile 😂😮😅😊

You honestly happy with that crop
Great awesome video.
Curious if you got any rain in July? It's tough to see a crop go down like that. Our crops in central Alberta saw rows all summer which isn't good

GOOOD MORNING !! GOOD DAY !! TOOD EVERY THING !!! GOOD EVERY THING TOO !!!! :)
LOVE JOY COMPASSION
Mike is only guy, that I've heard call Ladybugs as "Predators"
Predators to the aphids
@@hutterite1 buggers pray on my house in the spring
Mike why don't you guys plant winter wheat?
If you spray for aphids does that also kill the lady bugs?

Is that winter wheat? Spring wheat is hard to get over 80

I’m confused, is leaving manufacturing stickers on your hats a thing and if so what exactly is that thing? I’m not a trend type person 😅
It must be a Mike thing is all I can figure out!
Weirdest thing
Mike what happened leave all your faith hope farms t-shirts up at the North farm?👕👍
Mmmmmm that’s a lot of humus!
Mike do you never plow or harrowing the stubbel after you harvest?🤔
Mike do you have any runaway Hutterites working for you

Guy from Minnesota here farming background, equipment maintenance background where do I apply
Try Mike's website and you'll find his email address to better contact him. 😉
With the Canadian government, you have to qualify for a visa, more specifically a work visa.
July is here? I thought it was August already.
No rain here since mid June. Full tilt harvest Trudeau heads here

Mike do you do all the scouting of the crops on the South farm or just just your acres.?
All of them 🙂
do you have TAR SPOT in chikkypeez???
Hey Mike, I farm in the same part of Saskatchewan as you do, you haven’t had a 60 bushel chick pea crop. Ever. Sorry, just saying.
Well, you are entitled to your opinion but my crop insurance bin measurements of that field would disagree with you.

Yes

1st and 1st time to comment 😂
Good morning Mike interested in employment
Hooray you're first to comment & yet you still have nothing to say, that's so sad. 😔
@@leddielive Dont underestimate him.
Durum running 15, 54lbs, 19 protein, FEED.
Real train wreck.
Lentils single digits to 15
Oh man, that's my biggest fear right now 😬... I know we will be similar, reds are 14-15 right now, but I heard bad things about the durum in the area
Thx for the rely Mike.
I know you are one busy customer. 😂
Hope the prices come up soon
