Forage Fall Crop Yield Trial Data We had our demo plot field with all of our cereals including fall rye, winter wheat, soft wheats, barley, oats on it. We have taken silage samples for yield and also TDN and more. Blair Balog our seed specialist has compiled the fall crop forage information in a chart for you to make fall crop seed booking decisions with. Grain data will come when we have it. This in not replicated or scientific data, just side x side on small scale as we cut a 3'x10' spot and sent a sample to Down to Earth Labs to get these results. Blair Balog: Cell: 403-634-4349 (calls & text) Office: 403-739-2233 Email: blair@stampseeds.com Tadeus Fall Triticale will be available next fall. (none this season) For more detailed feed analysis, email blair@stampseeds.com Bigger images of these charts are located here https://www.stampseeds.com/forage-trials.html   Thank you for attending our summer events, we had a lot of fun touring the plots with you. There is still time to come and take a look at the plots, if you are in the area, as we will not be harvesting them for a bit. Harvest Starts Today We started harvest today with CDC Lewochko pea, AAC Julius pea, & AAC Coldfront winter wheat. Next up will be KWS Serafino Hybrid rye mid week. Fall Sales Winter wheat & hybrid fall rye pricing is available now. Customers have had increased yields wth hybrid rye over winter wheats and of course spring cereals and finding homes in the feed market for rye at slightly lower vs feed wheat values but with net returns being better vs other crops. I have more details on hybrid rye sales and agronomy below or click this link https://www.stampseeds.com/hybrid-fall-rye.html Rye Week Look on our Twitter @stampseeds for the hashtag #RyePro to follow along with our rye week later this week with tips and tricks on growing rye. (and fall crops in general) Rye Buyers Please contact us for a current list blair@stampseeds.com Bacterial Blight PCDMN sent a tweet about bacterial blight in cereals. It seems to be becoming more of an issue. Click here to see the thread. Details on Hybrid Fall Rye
Many people are growing hybrid fall rye for its yield, weed suppressing ability, flexibility and net returns. There are milling and distilling markets but many feeders are using it as an alternative economic feed source. A win/win for the crop farmer and animal farmer. More details of feed use here & forage use here. Hybrid fall rye is sold by the unit, 1 unit is 1 million viable seeds. Farmers target 0.8 of a unit per ac. If the crop is for forage use, organics, or you are seeding late in the fall the use rate could increase. The amount of lbs per unit will change depending on the seed lot due to germination and seed size. Most seed lots are between 70-90 lbs per unit (56-80 lbs per ac use rate) We can fill tote bags and usually have some in the warehouse ready to sell in 28 unit bag sizes (35 ac) Even flowering timing is critical to reduce ergot risk so even seeding depth, slow seeding speeds and any residue management ahead of time is important. Hybrid fall rye:
Join us July 26 for our Main Summer Tour, for a look at new varieties of barley, wheat, durum, hybrid rye, winter wheat, & more! We have brisket for lunch so please RSVP to greg@stampseeds.com in case I need to order more :) Location: 1.5 Miles West & 1.5 Miles North of Enchant on RR 190 https://goo.gl/maps/H4636GCPUSDJBgnZ7 Our yield trial plots look very good this season and the rain storm from a week ago had caused some lodging so each variety is showing its lodging risk. Blair is doing forage testing across many of them so we can compare crop type and timing with forage yields and quality as well as grain yields. Winter wheat & Hybrid fall rye pricing is available now. We have hybrid fall rye inventory on hand now and will have new crop winter wheat coming soon. For any seed bookings you can call Blair Balog at 403-634-4349 (calls & text) Office: 403-739-2233 Email: blair@stampseeds.com You may also continue to contact myself if you like.

I went to Phyto Organix grower meetings this week. They are planning to build a 40,000 MT pea protein plant at Strathmore. These types of facilities will change the types of pea varieties we are growing and the pea market in general. This season we will have CDC Lewochko yellow pea along with AAC Chrome and AAC Delhi. CDC Lewochko is a new higher protein variety with good yields and lodging resistance. AAC Julius is 1.5 years away and has small seed size, top yields, lodging resistance and high protein.
Hybrid fall rye pricing is out now. We have inventory on hand ready to ship. We have a new to us forage Sorghum available and will stand like corn for fall grazing. You use 10-12 lbs per ac and it is $2.49 per lb. Details below. Our billing department is behind so it may take a few extra weeks to get an invoice. On that note we are hiring a book keeper/corporate controller if you know of someone, have them send us a resume. Field Signs We would be happy to put a sign on your field, let us know the land location or google pin if you would like one. Late Seeded Options We are starting to get a few calls about fall crop bookings, and still shipping cover crops, forages (alfalfa & grasses), as well as oats. If you plan to double crop oats or barley or sorghum let us know ASAP as supplies will not be as good this year vs most years but we have brought some oats in. Grasses, Alfalfa, Blends, Cover Crops We have been working with Imperial Seed on alfalfa, grasses, blends, & cover crop mixes. https://imperialseed.com shows all the product available to us, please order weeks early so we can make sure it's on time for you.  Here is a link to a PGR study in Western Canada on winter crops we thought you would find interesting: https://acsess.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/csc2.20472
With the cool spring we have had in Southern Alberta, corn has taken its time to get out of the ground. Anything that was planted early is almost at the same growth stage as fields that were planted later. Looking at the forecast ahead, corn should really take off from here. Be sure to get those in-crop sprays in while you can! This corn in the picture below is at VE stage  We are starting to put signs up, and are happy to put one on your field, so let us know the land location or send a google pin if you want one.
We will be hosting our Fall Crop Tour on Tuesday, June 21st at 9:00 - 11:30 am Location is 1.5 miles West of Enchant & 1.5 miles North on RR 190, or use this Google pin We will be looking at hybrid fall rye, traditional rye, winter wheat, winter barley (a mostly failed plot). We will be talking grain production, forage use and cover crop planning. We are starting to get a few calls about fall crop bookings, and still shipping cover crops, forages (alfalfa & grasses), as well as oats. If you plan to double crop oats or barley let us know ASAP as supplies will not be as good this year vs most years. If you still have some acres you are looking to fill in, we still have some seed:

Greg It's still very dry in our area! We are done seeding and the irrigation acres have pivots rolling. Fall rye and winter wheat in crop spraying is complete. If you still have some acres you are looking to fill in, we still have some seed:
New Seed Sales Specialist: I am excited to introduce our new Seed Sales Specialist - Blair Balog, please see his full introduction below (lower in this email)Blair Balog: Cell: 403-634-4349 (calls & text) Office: 403-739-2233 Email: blair@stampseeds.com Blair is our corn expert and has a number of grain and silage corn trials in the ground with cooperator farmers. He does have some walk up bags of corn seed available if you want to try a few this spring. Blair and I will be teaming up on all crop sales as well so you can contact either of us for your seed needs. Double Crop Forage Options If you do need some double cropping forage options do book early as many seed lots will not be as available as normal. Link to the varieties page on our website Grasses, Alfalfa, Blends, Cover Crops We have been working with Imperial Seed on alfalfa, grasses, blends, & cover crop mixes. https://imperialseed.com shows all the product available to us, please order weeks early so we can make sure it's on time for you. Acre Projections I think pea acres and barley acres will be down a little bit this season based on talking to farmers across the prairies. The wheat and canola markets being strong and barley not taking the drought well last season will help that happen. The late start in some areas may cause peas to be reduced as well. Summer Tour Dates We will be hosting our winter wheat & hybrid fall rye tour & info day Tuesday June 21st. Our main summer tour will be held Tuesday July 26th. More details to follow.. Below: Greg Stamp in AAC Network winter wheat & Blair Balog in a new winter triticale variety Delayed post written early April: It is very dry here! We started seeding AAC Awesome VB SWGP on dryland on April 1 and also have our irrigated CDC 219-16 faba beans in the ground. We will be closed this Friday, April 15th for Easter. New Seed Sales Specialist: I am excited to introduce our new Seed Sales Specialist - Blair Balog, please see his full introduction and below (lower in this email)Blair Balog: Cell: 403-634-4349 (calls & text) Office: 403-739-2233 Email: blair@stampseeds.com Seed Ideas 2022 Sales of HRSW has picked up recently, Durum sales seem up slightly and some forecasts indicate more acres. Barley sales seems the slow one this spring, maybe it was the heat/drought impact on that crop last year that has people avoiding it. GP/Soft wheats (AAC Paramount VB / AAC Awesome VB) soft wheat seems slow considering how tight the feed wheat spread is to HRSW with a large yield bump vs HRSW. On barley if you are in a medium to higher moisture area we have two European style 2 row barleys that can significantly out yield normal barley varieties and also have better standability with shorter straw. Sirish - a malt on the AFSC list, can push it with fertility, stands well. Esma - yields very well with equal management to traditional varieties. Flax sales have been strong and acres of brown and yellow will be up. Mustard sales of all types have been strong. Corn sales are up this season after some strong results last year with Thunder Seed varieties. Oat acres will be up this season, and oat seed for forage or cover crops, double crops will be short as seed supplies across the prairies were very low. Many people are using barley this spring as a cover before seeding specialty crops as it can tolerate edge herbicide. I have a few very nice seed lots for cover crop barley. If you do need some double cropping forage options do book early as many seed lots will not be as available as normal.

So if you are looking for the highest yielding corn variety for grain or silage 4072 would be a good fit.   We are cleaning AAC Wheatland VB HRSW Wheat and moving into AAC Paramount VB Soft Wheat next. Many varieties are ready for pickup or close (awaiting testing) if you want to get seed home now. We are able to treat in the winter, but aim for above 0 C temps.
Sales have been very busy and some varieties or crops will be sold out before Christmas. Seed conversions have been earlier and busier than normal this year which has been why I have been slow sending out these emails and updating the website. Pre-Pay Our pre-pay discount date is Dec 15th, we do have a number of invoices to send out and on most of these we are waiting on final seed treat pricing before sending them. Keep in mind we do 5% off on pre-pays of inoculant and seed treat. Seed this season ranges from $0.50-$2 per bu depending on crop type for pre-pay discounts invoiced before Dec 15th. Fabelle Faba Bean New Crop Contracts Faba Canada is currently contracting new crop Fabelle faba beans at $14 per bu picked up in your yard. For irrigation acres they will price the whole crop 85-100 bu per ac at $14 at your yard with an act of God allowing you to secure your entire crop at current prices! They are also contracting other areas of the prairies as well. Faba beans fix 30% more N vs. peas, are not susceptible to aphanomyces root rot and stand well. Fabelle yields about 5-20% above other varieties of faba beans depending on area. Check out Alberta Pulse Growers Commission RVT App for details. Brad Goudy of Faba Canada: 780-803-2240 info@fabacanada.com Bill Coors 100 Malt Barley New Crop MolsonCoors irrigated malt barley contract price sounds like it will be around $10 per bu on new crop on whole crop on irrigation, picked up in your yard. Cody Shick (Montana & AB rep) 406-697-3838 cody.shick@molsoncoors.com North of Highway 1 & in SK Canada Malt is contracting Bill Coors 100 also. Bill Coors 100 will yield like a feed type, be up to 5 days earlier, stand well, and tillers well so lower seeding stands are used. Mustard Seed New crop contracts look pretty attractive for mustard and we have seed available in sizes of 50 lb, 500 kg and 1000 kg bag sizes. Our website is not fully up to date with each variety..

Early pay discounts will be more this season and 25% down to hold seed as it is such a variable season for supplies. I have sent Corn Seed prices to some of you, if you need a price please let me know as October is the best month to buy for discounts on corn. Below we have corn booking options (now is the best price) and then HRSW and Durum yield trial info. Corn We have pricing out for corn hybrids from Thunder Seed corn, and for October invoicing that can mean a range of $192.50-249.70 per bag for October pricing on some great varieties that are worth a try vs corn you are currently growing. Grain Corn: https://www.thunderseed.com/canadian-grain-corn-2/
Silage Corn: https://www.thunderseed.com/canadian-silage-corn/
Grazing: you want a verity that hangs on:
Non GM Corn A few people are also trying some non herbicide tolerant corn hybrids from De Dell to reduce seed cost as they were already using residual herbicides in corn https://imperialseed.com/portfolio-items/corn/ HRSW & Durum Trial These trials were seeded late April meaning they were at the perfect time to be impacted by the heat in late June. Yields, yield differences, standability may be impacted vs other seasons. Keep in mind this is not scientific or replicated and is on irrigation, so dry land recommendations may be different. The plots were shorter due to heat stunting and had about 1' of rain on at maturity. Barley results will be coming in a later email. Thanks to P&H Vulcan for grading. AAC Wheatland along with AAC Russel VB (new) and AAC Leroy Vb toped the wheat plots. Durum plots were led by AAC Stronghold (available also this season from us) & AAC Succeed VB   We are about 60% done harvest as some crop stems are taking their time to mature. Faba beans, canola and flax remain to be harvested. Fall crop sales have been very good this season and there is still plenty of time for fall crop seeding. We have our yield trials harvested but I have not had time to send for grading, or enter any data. I have been answering many calls about durum seed pricing / availability. Durum Seed: We have cleaned certified seed of old crop Alloy, and Succeed VB. I can also source Precision & Spitfire both old crop. It is a challenging market to set prices in, so we are doing an early pay/pickup program on Durum. We have not set a spring price but, if you are wanting a price for take home now in September or pay and hold, I can get you a price. New crop durum GoldNet (New) & Stronghold & Grainland we may need more time to price those.  Below: KWS Sarafino hybrid fall rye seed  We are about 40% done harvest but a few showers this week have slowed us down. Sales of fall crops has picked up after recent rains. Our cleaning plant has been running constanty, as all of our Hybird Fall Rye is cleaned, AAC Wildfire Winter Wheat is clean and we will be starting on AAC Network Tuesday. We have started seeding fall rye on dryland (traditional type) and will move to our hybrid after that. For us this could be a week too early but we had the people available and it rained! This email has a few different points:
Winter Wheat vs Hybird Rye I talked with a customer who grew AAC Wildfire winter wheat and Hybird rye. He had 35 bu winter wheat and 68 bu KWS Serafino Hybird Rye this season. If selling into the feed market you will be discounted for the rye but the yield difference is quite big and costs to grow are fairly similar this season. This makes the rye very attractive as I think there is a difference of $240 per ac with those yields into the feed market. The key is to seed your rye a week earlier vs winter wheat so it can tiller out. Oats or Rye for a Cover Crop We have Oats and Traditional Rye on hand. Some people are using oats after beans or other crops that leave the soil bare. Oats allows maximum rotation flexibility as you can go to any crop next. Rye is used by some so have green cover in the spring as well but if going to a cereal you need to make sure it is fully killed off so you have no surprises in your cereal crop. Some try to get these covers on as soon as possible (spread before harvest or after windrowed or right as you harvest) Fall Crop Seeding Dates For people not grazing, Aug 20th in the central regions and Aug 25th in the South is the earliest we typically see fall crops seeded. Hybrid Rye does better with time to tiller out in the fall. Crop insurance deadlines for fall crops is Sept 20th North of the Bow River and September 30th South of the Bow River. A flyer listing the options of fall crops is lower in the email and you can take a look here: Hybrid Fall Rye or Winter Wheat We can price and organize seed (including treated seed) delivered to your yard if needed. Why do we stress the importance of fungicide and insecticide treated winter crops? Take a look at Dr. Brian Beres research on winter wheat: Seed treatments on winter wheat article New Winter Wheat Launching This Fall AAC Network launches this fall. It should yield about equal to AAC Wildfire. We are taking bookings now. AAC Network has:
AAC Wildfire is still available and has VG winter hardiness with top yields Winter Wheat Buyer: Jules Beauchemin, jules@moulinsdesoulanges.com , office: 450-265-3005 Jules is with Les Moulins de Soulanges inc (mill) in Quebec and he is looking for around 1000 MT to 2000 MT of commercial AAC Wildfire or AAC Network by container and cleaned, but can handle railcar and can clean there. If nothing else it may be a nice outlet for next season if you do not have supply this year. New Hybrid Rye Launching This Fall KWS Serafino officially launches this fall after a soft launch last season.
KWS Daniello is still available and has VG winter hardiness with top yields and is a nice flex variety for grain or forage KWS Propower Hybrid Fall Rye for forage use. Information on feed use studies, forage use studies and agronomy research, details here. How are some customers using Hybrid Fall Rye as a forage?
Fall crops use moisture earlier in the season, provide weed competition and typically avoid heat blasting and fungicide issues such as FHB. Forage Crops
Winter Triticale Seed We have not done very much with Winter Triticale in the past and usually have some people asking about it. We did source 1800 bu of Metzger Winter Triticale so if you need it let me know. Below: AAC Network winter wheat  Below:Hybrid Fall Rye seeded Aug 27 2020 with pictures from: Nov 2, April 27, May 14, and May 26th. Thanks for joining our summer tours, it was nice to visit with everyone! I have talked to many people across Western Canada and the majority of them have very poor crops. We are 25% done harvest with no slow down in sight. Our dryland crops were very poor. The crops that have been the best ones were the March seeded peas (may have caught an additional rain vs the rest) and the fall rye. (all was poor) The Irriagted crops are maturing fast. I have a guide on desiccation timing at the bottom of the email. We are cleaning Daniello rye now and then will move to Propwer rye, Serafino rye, Network winter wheat and then Wildfire winter wheat. Fall Crop Bookings Right now there are a number of farms on the fence about fall crops but if a rain comes there could be lots of acres booked. If you are going to graze the crop you could seed now. If not the earliest you may want to go with a fall crop is Aug 20 in the central regions and Aug 25 in the South. Hybrid rye does better with time to tiller out in the fall. Crop insurance deadlines for fall crops is Sept 20 North of the Bow river and September 30th South of the Bow river.

Hybird fall rye article on seed production and uses of hybrid fall rye in the Canadian Cattleman Magazine https://www.canadiancattlemen.ca/crops/forages/hybrid-fall-rye-offers-high-yield-flexibility-to-beef-producers/  It has been a dry start to 2021 in Southern Alberta. Dryland crops are suffering and falling behind. Irrigation crops are looking very good.
It's the SIGN time of the year! Let me know if I can look at your crop and put a sign in your field. Summer Tours with CCA Credits Both of our summer events will be happening in July. One Rye/Winter Wheat day and two days of our Annual Summer Tour. Details of the tour are below. Both tours are 0.5 Miles West & 1.5 Miles North of Enchant on RR 185 (click for google maps location) Please RSVP to brooke@stampseeds.com the event or date(s). Tuesday July 6th at 9 am Hybrid Rye/Winter Wheat - field day Wednesday July 21st & Thursday July 22nd at 9 am: Annual Summer Tour (same tour each day so pick 1 day) We may need to travel to a second location for the the rye tour and look at a seed production hybrid fall rye field as our plots were seeded in October and had enough wind erosion this winter that they look quite poor. Fall Crop Bookings We have had a larger than normal start to bookings of winter wheat and fall rye seed. A Flyer listing the options of fall crops is below and in a few weeks we will email out details on each varieties attributes or you can take a look here: Hybird Fall Rye or Winter Wheat Forage Crops
Soft Wheat, CPS Wheat & Winter Wheat Buyer I was contacted by a Vancouver mill buying and looking to deal directly with farmers on grain picked up in your yard. Originally they asked about Soft Wheats and CPS Wheat but I mentioned that Winter Wheat may mill like a CPS. I do not know them well so seller beware and do your due diligence ask if licensed & bonded, I looked on the CGC website and did not seed this company specially but its possible they buy under a different name. Sukh Gill: 778 384 4774 sukh@nafmfoods.com https://nafmfoods.com Shipping season slowed down for us about a week ahead of normal in 2021. Now we are focusing on forage crops and cover crops. Need cover crops or foage crops? Forage Crops:
