Late canola not going to have a good week!

[seabass]

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!

There's canola on the eastern prairies that only went I to full bloom 7 days ago. I'm not saying the odd stragglers. There's thousands upon thousands of acres like that from humboldt east to winnipeg.

Very good point ado ..
These warm - not overly hot temps are doing nothing but good in many areas

[SASKFARMER3]

It's about two tales. West and east prairies. Like Klause says if the east side blooms for 7 to 10 days it will cut yield. If the west has hot temps come on don't think their won't be dry light shit .

Sask you did not read correct. He said its in full bloom starting 7 days ago. Here those late fields still in mid full bloom look the best. I cannot explain why. Some will have a good 5 week bloom. Awaiting pods on mine still so slow to come. Early ones all look bad are you saying the early canola is done with the bad so cannot hurt it.
In my opinon we have perfect canola weather here takes 30 plus to do damage and that is not happenning. Or are we looking at the feels like temp here. Actually dug up some potatos and onions today and was surpris d how warm the soil was.

[fjlip]

And how much MUD is on those potatoes.
With soil moisture plants are not stressed at 27C we had today. Amazed at how CALM these days have been. Hearing thunder all around us all day. Several 3-4" thunderstorms last few days, isolated but bad news if it's on you.

[SASKFARMER3]

One at lake to north and it opened up.
Yes my late canola and regrowth after the hail is awesome but late real late.

[Klause]

Hail turned things to mush east of watrous. Now our truck has dents in it... bet it chipped the new paint job on the 1155 too.

Our late canola will not bloom as long as the early seeded, but, I wonder sometimes if daylight hours has more of an effect. The weather has been great for canola, but some here are concerned about dryness.

The crop in trouble in our area is soybeans. It's the beginning of August and most soy fields have no pods yet.

[seabass]

Thats the way our beans were last year braveheart but they seemed to pump out the pods by late august. Managed to average just under 35

[SASKFARMER3]

We have pods on beans and flowering nice loves the heat! Canola shutting down all way from canora to Regina
