PA To Melfort how far ahead harvesting are you!

[SASKFARMER3]

Just wondering how far advanced harvest is in the PA to Melfort area to Nipawin down to Tisdale.
Cant figure out how Terry Karwandy etc has 20% of the crop harvested in Saskatchewan.

I'm in Regina Lumsden lake center and most around here are at 40:60% done.
I was in Carrot River this summer they were ahead of us by about 10 days.
Can anybody from the Battlefords / northwest comment I had Uni buddies that were very dry all year did that make for a early low yielding crop or late mid yield low quality?

Peas, winter wheat and a few lentils/canola off thats it. Everything else the last 5 days has gone backwards. Winter wheat sucked, peas are good, and canola as expected, below normal. Average joe cwb farmer 0% done, everyone else 20-25% done here. Battlefords area and south. North, everthing still grass green other than peas. Frost will still cause major damage monday mornig, IMO.

South of PA maybe 5% of wheat off barley 10% canola 75% swathed we got a long ways to go, started combining early canola 40ish, winter wheat avg 65 on 600 acres CPS 50, barley running 90-100 we need 2 weeks of good goin before frost isn't an issue

Regina to Canora Peas almost done were half. Winter wheat almost all off. Some barley tried and some spring wheat. Canola almost all swath. Different stages. One guy done but poor yield was very early and thin all year. Peas most say average at best, to much rain in July. Regina south I don't think is 40 to 60% done just looks like way to much out their left to go. Were at 6% done.

SE Sk, I'm 1/2 done. Canola done, 25 bpa. Durum 1/2 done 32 bpa, #5 due to ergot. At Griffin now doing Copeland barley, 1/3 done, 60 bpa, rained out on Sunday, it's raining again today. Hoping the Griffin durum is ergot free.

Barley done, at 1400 acres averaged 87bpa, only have 40,000 left all hauled in already for malt.(me thinks there is a shortage of good quality malt) Did our first 1/4 of Canola last night 2105 Westeel bin 6800bus full to nuts off of 155 acres.

South of rosetown we are way way behind. Most peas are almost done, Lentils 2/3 to 3/4 done. All the durum/barley/wheat is all left to be done. I would say this area which is typically very early will be one of the last areas done in the province this year. Frost on Sat or Sun will be the end for a lot of good looking late crops. Yeilds on the pulses that are off are avereage at best. Too much moisture in july no stress to get them to pod up. Lots of growth no yeild. I'd like to know with all this rain how it is going to impact the sales of CWB crops. There will be very little good quality durum in a region that typically grows a huge amount of good durum. Barley will be stained also. This harvest is really starting to wear down producers here that have sunk lots of money into this potentially good year, that could turn into a nightmare.

In the Kelvington region. Have seen three fields of barley combined at 19 per cent moisture. my rye is still not close to dry. Neighbor tried some peas, half what he thought. Harvest completion is not measureable unless you talk thousands of a per cent. Canola being swathed. Crop looks excellent, we just need no frost for 10 days minimum. All canola has at least a 40 bushel potential. Barley should go 80 plus, Not many wheat board goons farm around me so I'm not sure how the wheat crop is, and frankly could care less until we are free.

Great crop, getting late. First crop in three years for many guys due to wet, and here we are wet once more. The guy from rosetown who said they'll be among the last done, I doubt it. Half done peas, compared to none done here. I repeat, we're just SWATHING canola here for crying out loud... Winter cereals have hardly been tried, and guys here are getting antsy, and justifiably so. By the same token, our region is always wet and cool, so really nothing new here, we just want a turn for once to have more than 2 days of sun at a time!

Rose Valley area barley was down to 14.5% on Saturday in the 80's @54lbs, our oats was 12% approx 130 bu/ac @44lbs. Second growth & green kernels are common. Canola by hand was 7.8%, none combined yet. Yesterday barley at 18%, oats 15.2% Straw tough, wrapping in chopper. Humidity is too high and a shower this afternoon! About 40% left to swath in the area, plus some wheat and barley to straight cut. Standing wheat bleached but nice kernels. Another late maturing crop, dam global warming! Yields better than last year's flooded out weedy crop, if weather breaks to have some quality.
