Well a page will turn on the Calendar tomorrow. Gee when I was a kid a rain exhibition week in Regina and the Crop was made. Ha maybe the earth did shift because the next five to 10 days feel like the second week of July. So maybe we are like a time change except we jumped back two weeks. Because we seed second week May since the snow is still here till then. Spray into first week of July get a monsoon from May long till July 5th. Now finally heat like early july.
Soy love what the week has thrown at it. Heat and Inch rain and its been flowering since Sunday. Looks great has nice potential since it is flowering two weeks ahead of last year but also its a new shorter season variety than we use to grow. Probably helps out. Yes I pay for a shorter soy season seed because their actually is something happening to get it to speed up.
Canola is flowering to shutting down on early fields again in flowering stage even a Retarded sister can look Not bad but after the flowers are gone its the same short thin shit on flood damaged fields. Some are recovering not bad but Ugly is still Ugly. My late seeded in Early June has potential plus my Hailed out shit has potential if we don't get a frost for 4 to 6 more weeks. Now the neighbour who seeded June 20th and its just trying to Bolt and Cabbage not sure. I like his sprayed out last years Canola crop the best. Canola people will be surprised on some fields and surprised on some others One good and one bad.
HRS has finished flowering and is starting to fill. It is thinner than last year and I suspect will not yield like it did. Heads are their but with the heat and shallow root system I don't expect it to fill also like last year. Time will tell it is by far the one crop that made it through the floods the best.
Durum wish I would have grown again, Nice but you really had to follow the guide to dealing with disease this year. Those that did have a very nice crop coming those that didn't have a crop coming.
Flax again is very very nice only the worst water logged fields have issues or hail. Flax and hail is a fail.
Lentils and Peas are same category this year. WTF happened. Even the Red army who has never had a dud has a dud whole section. The nicest peas I have seen all summer is a half section in valley south of Cupar N ice even tall and podded to top with big pods. Hailed fields in area are trying to flower but most should have been written off.
Finally Barley, Hello did any one grow this crop, Europe has issues with grade for Malt need to get what we have off and decent shape. Early is thin as barley and water actually have issues also. Late is thick but late. Taking forever to head. Potential is their but early and late have two issues. Heat and frost. Time will tell.
Oats again not very much out their surprised must have been the fact the railways were not shipping grain south so all farmers are just delivering now their 2014 oats so why grow it. What's their is Awesome on early seeded late has a few issues its growing so slow.
So to wrap up the week the heat is awesome to push this crop, it is drying the ground up and that's great. The 3/4 to 1 inch rain was just what we needed and Saturday a little shower would be icing on cake.
One thing I am noticing is just because you give a crop every single thing from best seed, best seed treatment, to best spray to best disease control, It doesn't matter a bit mother nature picks the winners and losers in the farming game.
Have a fun Saskatchewan day on Monday and be safe its just a farm.
