Reuters talked to 12 people in ivory towers! It's a Bin Buster Boys!

You can drive a thousand km in any direction and you struggle to find anything that resembles even a good crop let alone poor. western Canada will be swimming in grain.

Yea some of you must have never seen a bumper. WTF. its a good crop but over all no record. Lentils and peas cant take water and when the pods start some are not as nice as others. Over all its a good one but its along way from the bin. Ah 2004 was going to be the biggest ever and ended at 12.32 till 7AM.

Tweety , come for a drive
There is a mix here , some very good , some ok and some simply ran out of gas on June 30 th
I wounder if anyone will actually show up on one of my invites ?? Lol
A few guys seem to think they know er all but when challenged never show .
There are areas that are just ok at best - it's not wall to wall 5 ft tall in western Canada - that's a fact - I can show you

Actually just drive north of N Bford on Hwy 4
You can see the drought stress from June north of town to just by elevators at Hamiln
That area goes east and west where crops were stressed out from very little June rain
They will be average at best , still decent but no bumper through that stretch.

I agree with s/f - it's a long way to bin yet and yup a 3 hr frost can dampen the spirit in a hurry
2004 was a very good crop that turned into red ink on many farms about 10 ft from the finish line .

Crop disease is going to take a huge chunk of this crop in some areas before the combines get a chance .

Getting to be a lot of sf3 disciples here. Oh my crop is soooo bad. Fast forward a couple months, nothing under 80 bu an acre. Oh except that 30 acres out of 10,000. It was such a disaster.

well tweety I can tell you it's bad here . somehow 11" rain in 4 days does that . but the real concern around here is trying to get people back into their homes. it was the best crop we had ever grown on our farm , but we have had this many times and I have found its never as bad as it looks after the water drops, so all you can do is hope for the best !

Just calling it like it is . Yes the is in general a good crop in most parts but it's not even close wall to wall great . Some of us are just realists I guess
