Did not think peas was as good as last year until the wife hauled in twice the peas in garden as last year. Garden was not watered and seeded about same time. Peas filled right up with no disease this year. My clearfield canola took off with huge leaves and big stocks. With a bit of a premium in price could work out. The 46H75 hope it yields like it looks. Seeded 50% of my land to durum. Looks above average. Frost needs to stay away from it though as some seeded end of May. The thing that is better this year is less midge and diseases. What is worse than last year is a later crop and risk of frost.. Bins cleaned out from last years crop.

A hot week now and peas in Alberta will be combining by Aug 20 easy.
Most pods full now.

A couple of 30 c days and fields will be turning yellow in a week.

With all this water the crop sill finish fast with the heat forecasted.

All the best

As normal input will determine yield potential.

If only that's what limits yields in the east.

Shouldn't have non flowering cabbaged canola in Elie Manitoba... at the end of July.

Yea input will determine yield

Yea you better run for politics you have it all figured out.

Tom 90% of yield potential is determined by weather conditions and the quality of the land that the crop is grown on. The last 10% by tweaking that the farmer does. The worst problem with those who were lucky and got the big crop the last couple of years is that they think that they themselves are responsible for the good results.

You guys should read what he has written.

He is talking about amount of rain.

Then says "as normal, input creates yield". Input of rainfall. Rainfall is a input and of course the most important one. Gdd or corn heat units probably #2.

[newguy]

I am with SK farmer. Inputs and timing of farmer has allot to do with yields these days. Of coarse mother nature has the last say but the farmer has the first say.Marketing the crop is also a big factor in a successful crop these days too. I may say 40% inputs 40% weather 20% marketing.

[newguy]

Maybe a better way to explain is every farmer sets the height of his bar and mother mature then lowers it differantly each year.
