Thank God for the Heat! Bring it on!

Well I have to say the crop finally is
starting to show some sign of life.
Canola might actually cabbage this year.
That would be first time in 4 years.
Yellow peas need a few more days to
straiten out. Our area the canola is 1
Awsome to 3 Good, 3 poor and three that
should be worked down.
Hrs and Durum did a huge jump. Sprayed
disease on Durum today.
Again any day that it doesnt pour is a
great day. Light shower cant remember
what that is. Creeks are starting to
slow down alot. Springs still letting
water out of hills.

2 days of sun has made a huge difference. Looking like a real good week ahead. Let's just hope the thunder storms can stay away.

Proving once again you are a drama queen SF3. No
seeding - disaster - crop failure to great crops to
brilliant crops back to disaster again within 3 days.
Maybe you should use Chicken Little 3 as your
handle?

Grass stick it up your ass!

Can't get over your small mindedness grassfarmer! I enjoy almost all posts(except BTO'S or Burbert) just to hear what things are like elsewhere, so to belittle a guy telling about improving conditions is just plain stupid! I guess you can't fix stupid! To the rest, keep all posts coming. Enjoy posts from large or small farmers, all have things to be proud of! BE HAPPY

Awards can do funny things to a man's ego.... besides sarcasm and arrogance only feeds the ego of those displaying it.

Nice to see the change in the weather Saskfarmer3, it is just what the crops needed now. Best of luck to everyone for the rest of the growing season.

Funny how heat can get things going.
Flooded out shit is still gone but the
rest of the fields look better. Peas still
having issues but early canola and Durum
are moving up. Late hrs so so and late
canola really slow.

SF3 you want heat? Environment Canada says
you are going to get what you wished for. All
week. But heat tends to bring wuld weather.

Hope we are all ok.

Individual fields in some saturated areas can be categorized as either abundant leaf growth on the one hand; or poor stand and obvious stress on the other.

Leaf disease pressure appears extreme; and while fungicide may have helped somewhat the crop doesn't measure up to rare years like the Mount Pinitibo year a couple decades ago. Despite cool cloudy conditions through much of this spring; I predict a rapid turning of many crops when some hot weather arrives.

And this is about the time of year fthat shallow rooted crops traditionally suffer.

And the alfalfa crops look like insects of some sort are defoliating them after they suffered a couple too many frosts early on.

Is this type of observation the type of general world wide condition that is sustaining the agricultural markets extreme nervousness.

For those that post comments that farmers should be locking in these apparent good prices; there should be an attached warning that the quality and quantity hasn't been yet produced; and a farmer should also worry some about how secure the promise of payment really is.

The prospect of where all the swathers are going to come from to cut the canola acres will be an interesting one to observe. Maybe its one thing to face ripe half section of canola; but sections of crop coming in the same day is quite another matter.

Is anyone thinking about that?
