Canola Report.

[ado089]

Ok folks, time for an honest report of
what you're seeing out there. No dick
swinging, lies or other misguided
optimism the cards are on the table now
there's little chance in the crop
changing unless it's for the worse.

In the last two weeks I've driven from
Saskatoon to Leoville, S'toon to Biggar
and S'toon to Jackfish Lake. For the
most part with the exception of N.B.
north through Spiritwood and up to
Nipiwan but north of P.A. (from what my
brother in P.A. says)the canola is there
and populations are OK but there is no
mass to the crops, they are growing up
but not out and are bolting before even
covering the ground. My experience with
crops that look like this now is that
they rarely break 30bu/ac.

I'm hearing crops look good SE of
Watrous but I haven't seen personally.

To summarize I have personally seen
about 3/4- 1.5 million acres that look
like crap with hearsay of about double
that looking the same.

East central AB, awesome fricken crops,
all of them, all grains! Edmonton even
better.

[BreadWinner]

Humbolt to Manitoba border %25 good to excellent,%50 good to poor,%25 garbage. Canora east is the worst.

Ya Edmonton area is looking good. I was thru
Westlock area and my eyes could hardly believe
what they were seeing. Feedlot guy there I talked
to said they cover a quarter with manure then
first year plant barley, second year 70 bushel ac
canola.

Here in the north peace crops are dry. Looks like
1/2 a hay crop

[pourfarmer]

Preeceville to Swan River, 1/2 crop or
2/3 maybe. The odd field looks good,
still aways off from last year. Same
problem, started bolting before filling
out.

From Swan River, north to Melfort, about
the same getting a bit better.

Wheat looks good all through out the
area I travelled. Fishing was so-so, too
hot to do anything but drink beer.

[SASKFARMER3]

East central sask heat is awesome what we need
is more. 1 inch Sunday night ok. 2 out of 25 never
should have saved. Their ugly drowned out shit.
Rest getting better. Cabbaged first time in three
years. So 23 7 now 2 a 4

[Ronski]

Lacombe area bolting, early fields 10%
bloom. Crops look very good except low
areas are crap (5% or so). But LOTS of
canola. Is canola-cereal-canola a
rotation? A fair bit of canola on canola.
Fungicide is not an option this year.

[boarderbloke]

Bolting without covering everything! Is that common more so with RR varries?

Some Invigor around here cabbaged so heavy and looked so thick and now that it's bolting doesn't look any different than Dekalb that was seeded later and bolted quicker, and didn't spend so much energy and nutrients on cabbage leaves.
Been noticing that difference the last couple years between the two types.

EVERYTHING F*CKED!!!!!!!! Plain and Simple, She's F*CKED!!!!!! Bushels will not be There When The Combines Hit The Fields This Fall. Beans in The US are F*cked Too, Theys kin only Hold On fer So Long, And Guess What, This is The Holdin On Part, No Grain Savin Rain This Week, And Their F*CKED, No Doubt About It!!!!!!!!

[Braveheart]

All crops from Brandon MB south TO THE US border look phenomenal. The only exception is a German immigrant farmer who pours tank after tank of unregistered shit on his crops. (He says they'll turn out. Not.)

Lots of canola acres in the area mentioned. Looks awesome but I think needs rain soon or we'll be subracting yield daily.
