Took a drive Sunday, what the hell happened from Canora to kamsack!

[SASKFARMER3]

Even the land by Hudye fertilizer plant at
Kamsack the canola is sick.
Is it the flooding, aster yellow or heat blast or
sclerotina. Worst I've seen up here in years.

Hrs is starting to turn on early fields, thin barley,
hrs oats canola canary seed. Two miles on east
side of town not bad.

Its from all the rain we had this year up here. Lots of aster yellows starting to show up. Most of the canola you see by the Hudye fertilizer plant, is Nykolaishen's. A lot of the early seeded canola took a shit pounding from all the rain, and sitting in 5" of water for weeks on end. For every decent crop of canola from Kamsack to Canora to Yorkton, you will find 5 that are the shits. Most fields in this area have anywhere from 20-50% missing due to flood out. Never seen anything like it.

What happened was the same thing that happened to
our MB farm, which is just on the other side of the
mountain. S**t kicking from all the storms / rain that
went through....


Great looking wheat has only 20 - 30 seeds in a
head... Canola's pods are close to bare....


Yep, bumper mega crop!!!

That's whose fields I thought it was. Even the
strawberry farm at verigin was the shits. Poured at
Madge in the afternoon. Early crops suck.

Drew says....Dryness in the northwestern U.S. Plains and southwestern Canadian Prairies will continue to expand over the next week to ten days raising need for significant precipitation. The pattern only offers brief periods of showers with little potential for a net increase in soil moisture. Crop stress is impacting Montana, western North Dakota, southern Alberta and southwestern and south-central Saskatchewan Most other areas in the Canadian Prairies will see timely rainfall and mild to warm temperatures promoting normal crop development.

While some of us are swamped and hoping/praying for a 3 month DROUGHT just to be able to drive in the field at harvest. Water levels at spring peak here.
