Early Red River ND Yield Results! Disapointing!

Nudge not talking up the markets just stating what I am hearing about yield. If farmers are disappointed then maybe the USDA is wrong or out of touch.

I am starting to kind of think the same. Canola maybe grew tall like a weed but did it pod right. Late is late. I think it will be a year you start combining and first field is like wow 55 then move a mile south and its like WTF 33 then move East and its I can live with that then move West and its Could be in a crop insurance claim with the acres we have over here.
Time will tell.

USDA estimates for ND spring wheat are 48 bpa so there is room for the western part of the state to turn in some lousy yields and still make the estimate.
I agree on canola. With the huge difference in crop quality and staging across the prairies there is no way of knowing what we have till harvest.
Locally the big rains did more good than harm for canola. Raised estimate 10-20 percent.

all my years of market watching and all the years of usda reports and estimates seems to me in the wash up there actually never more than 5 to 10% out either way
