From 30,000 ft. today Calgary to Regina. Crops in general look very late and thin. You can see right through canopy witch seems late for mid July. Most water seems to be gone but lots of missed areas and drill misses maybe more plugged runs than we thought.
Best looking area might be around Moose Jaw, that I could see. Before the pasture land. Lots of hay cut not much baled.
I'd say we had best keep our knees bent, asking for late frost. Long ways to go, need heat, fast before heading.
Looks to me like we will have some huge quality problems, frost if stays cool and crop is late, heat stress if it turns hot during filling. If midge take off good chance for sev midge damage no matter how bad they are. Maybe lots of drying to do.
I know this isn't the best way to crop check on a hot sunday afternoon but was a good way to see lots of country fast. No beer but did get pretzels.
