I took a drive from swift current to lethbridge on saturday. wow!
Its late august and on a saturday not one combine did I see moving.
Crops are late all over. Confirm my belief that statscan and the experts don't have a clue.
Between medicine hat and taber over 100 pivots are twisted up according to the irrigation co in taber.
Bumper crop they (the experts and statscan) say. Really?
The hail storm south of swift current took out 400000 tonnes of grain. What two crops are predominant in that area? Durum and peas.
Cereal crops are not even close in my area and by the looks of the trip its going to be a very late fall and production numbers are really out of whack.
Felt pretty good about the crop I have - its not a bumper but after seeing those irrigation crops that had been pummelled a new perspective takes hold. Those guys put alot of time and effort into irrigating and disking it down as opposed to combining has to be dissappointing.
Late late late and there is no bumper crop. Sure there are pockets but in the big picture western canada's crop won't be bigger than last years.
