Friday Crop Report on a Thursday!

Alberta report might show a little progress since last report. Sask likely will be next to nothing.

Boarder if it goes sooner it will be one day at the earliest but loss do to ice pellets and rain and snow is heavy on standing.

Not much melting this week.

Well we finally had a good frost now isn't the weather supposed to break? One more day woulda been done geeze, smarten up weather.

According to Oliver's map, we're in the brown area, so things are probably different here. Still 80% flax out, 10% canola and some crappy durum, oats, lentil patches, and beans, through out the district.

Should get at it soon haha. 10% to go.

SF3, looking at your fields I would say there is hope. We need sun and wind to melt this snow and firm the fields. We would be a week or more away from trying to get in the fields. Since Oct 3rd, 4 inches of rain plus 4 inches of wet snow twice. I think we are hooped, but I could be wrong.

Lite snow on swaths like S/F is one thing , but swaths in the heavy snow area around here like Ado showed plugged solid from heavy snow and 3 days of wind that drove the snow into the swaths.
Some standing canola was combined yesterday in this area with very little snow.
Ado's area through westernvickie I think were one of the hardest hit last week .

Snow. Freezing rain advisory for overnight.
So if the Arctic Oscillation and the Jet stream changes?
Looks like November our last chance. Either freak warm spell to take tuff. Or dry cold spell after snow gone (IF), and take frozen.
Or swath ahead of the blizzard and leave for the mice.
Question. Better to swath for winter or say screw it and disc in spring? Thinking the former for a few reasons.
Thankfully only wheat left out for me. Neighbor got caught in spring rain, big seeding delay. His canola all in swath yet. Gonna help him all I can.
Getting hammered on Mbly price. Found a bin I can empty. Thinking lock all bin doors for a while.
Others have it worse. Humbly suggest a lesson for some of the younger set. Meeting with bank Monday myself.
Be kind to yourself. Teach your kids.

Ya teaching a hell of a lesson, mother nature can ruin all your plans/dreams!
Keep their day jobs, way less risk and stress.
