Early canola round here...

Sclerotinia showing it's ugly face here, causing large areas to go down.

Heavy rain and canola is the same as temps over 28 you lose yield. Rain in excess makes mud not big yields! Early looks poorer and is shutting down!

Yup.

Then sclerotinia, and rots set in, and then you have big huge dead spots in fields... and wind starts to move half ripe standing canola...


Wet takes yield it doesn't make it... I was spraying a half of oats yesterday OMG. water in tracks from one end of the field to the other.... that's other side of Humboldt where they got an extra 3 inches over us here.

The canola crops are looking exceptional here. The high input farmers' crops should do great. If it plays out like last year they are looking at 60-75 bu/acre plus earlier harvesting.

60-75? 😂

Is this a case where bullshit gets far bigger yields than any other crop input?

[hobbyfrmr]

No, I screen the reports from farmers I can believe. Employees usually spin quite a yarn but there are home honest reports. I only mention it because I am the opposite method of farming. For the sake of balance, I like to relay evidence that high inputs can work when the weather agrees. When the weather doesnt agree, i dont know how it plays out.

We don't get, and don't expect, those lofty yields here in the ghetto slum.

Too many limitations... the lands ability to do it, my unwillingness to spend more than I already am to grow the crop, the point of diminishing returns, my lack of desire for bragging rights, and my general honesty that if it ain't there...there's no embellishing!

Oh yeah, did I mention my combine throws virtually no grain out?



wedino....that top picture is really ugly. Did you spray fungicides and get screwed over anyway?

[wedino]

Crop was not sprayed where pic is taken. He did spray half this field, so harvest should tell the tale.
