Well it was a good week of harvest activity in our area. Sat morning was slowed down due to a little shower but only for a few hours. All that being said late last night the shit returned and we are wet this morning.
Some days you feel like your the last guy harvesting in Canada. Our area has a same pattern of rain it either builds in Edmonton and we get it or Montana low crosses the valley and we get it.
The area average around us is 80% done. Most would have been done by Sunday. But a small low pressure showed up and were wet. Were at 27% left late last night. Just Canola and Oats and Soy!
Crop report.
Wheat yields are Great where the crop didn't flood. Where it flooded its 0. So 66 to zero and you have a average wheat crop. Grades are a three at low end to a two at high. Protein is high.
Fuz is their but on fields not worked. Fields burnt and black limited amounts.
Oats is being harvested and lots are disappointed in yields. 60 and lower is awful for oats. Lots of yields like that out their. Light.
Barley Early is great late is piss poor.
Canola is one crop that is easy to harvest once the crop rots. Well after all the rains canola when it can go guys catch up real fast harvesting. Yields are all over the map.
Flax their is lots of disappointment to few that are really excited. Not sure but flax is no where near last years crop.
Soy has seed and it seems the early pioneer 1's have bigger seeds and matured faster but yield will be down. Pioneer 2S are going to do real nice considering the year. DeKalb's are also going to do ok.
So as the 2014 harvest nears the finish line, neighbours are bunching up to help guys. Dryers have paid huge dividends again.
Tillage is happening everywhere, especially on farms that saw last years results.
Its just a crop that's worth nothing so why get hurt pushing to get it in the bin. Be safe.
