Late canola not going to have a good week!

[T.N.T.]

Got 3.5"s on top of our already satutrated soil in the last 2 weeks,were more worried about disease then we are worried about drought.Dug in a few posts yesterday,and even the sand is wet to 3' down.

Ag chat I remember that.... and days unto the 40.

2009 was the year. Huge canola swaths doing 18 bu an ac....

Manitoba. .. hottest place in summer and the coldest in winter of the prairies

South Sask has had heat but mornings are wet and nights cool. The killer is hot dry wind..We usually will get that but not so much this year.

I agree Klause.

Canola likes exactly the opposite of Soy.

Soy loves 20 C at night Canola is much happier with 12-15C at night... sets pods well and fills well when it cools off below 20C.

Below 10 C soy quits... down to 5 and soy takes 2 days to get maturing going again... it is a warm blooded plant!

But boys look at the big picture. Is canola losing yield next week or getting bigger, rather simple.
Soy loves this kind of weather.
On soy were two weeks ahead of last year flowering has been happening for over 9 days.

I agree with both u guys. Heat could hurt a bit but like Tom says genetics are way better and I have seen canola in our area still yield like a bugger even with hot weather. We need the heat to push this crop along anyway. Its gonna be tight to make it at the pace its been on

Absent of moisture stress canola pollen starts to sterilize at 28*c. OP varieties can be even more sensitive. Drought stress and wind start to lower that number as well. This is well documented. I would suggest though that if you are worrying about heat blast on your canola on Aug 3 you have bigger worries.

Exactly my thoughts ado. I would give up yield to make sure it matures quicker at this point. Looks like some cool weather coming August 13 to 19th. Could be some close calls at night.

Last thing we need is poor quality with the MASSIVE RECORD world supplies, nobody will want/need to buy crap. Would be a huge discount for grade losses. Good luck, but a lot of LATE stuff in our travels, needs late Sept unless heat stays for all of Aug.

Yes I agree that the heat will push the late crop. And the main thing if this crop freezes you think the elevators had fun last year they will look at your frozen shit and throw it back in your face like an American does with Canadian money!
