Swathed wheat looks great(60ish) but all bleached from rain, kiss #1 goodbye.
Again rain at the wrong time cost me $$$!
Could combine it Tuesday, will try canola tomorrow, was 8.3% before the 1" of rain.
Let's hope the forecast does not change.

Why not just store your wheat until next year, it will be worth more come march.

Will it be #1 in March?
Isn't the 60% vitreous for #1 a CGC issue?

Disappointed in the soft wheat today. Started combining not much behind the swather and testing 19. The new conbine supposed to be calibrated said average 48 bushels to acre and seems about correct according to tank fullness. And it is callibrated to deduct for moisture. Swath is not big. Cruising at 7 miles an hour.

somebody ought to look into doing something about better forecasting for us farmers. All the talk about how they can help us, unreliable forecasts costs us how much over the years? Forecast for our area earlier predicted no rain, so neighbors swathed barley and wheat now what about 2 to 3 inches on it and with this heat gonna grow if any more comes.

Did the tour Edmonton to Drumheller to Calgary to Vulcan to Foremost to Oyen and Killam to Edmonton. Things are just getting started but ready to roll. Weather looks good short term.

Next 4 days to average 10 C above normal temperatures. What a heat wave, sucks to be the trucker without air and fixing everything. wheat down to 16 last part of the day.

Canola 7.2%. in the 30's
Amazing how the rain changes canola swaths!
Loss before rain was unacceptable, yesterday virtually no loss at any speed.
But the black dust is back.
