70% left, EC Ontario. Corn (not so late) and azuki beans (very late). The rain we didn't get in May-September has found us

Personally 80%left Olds/ Didsbury area. Couple guys i know haven't taken combine out yet. Don't know of anyone done. Would guess area around 60 % left. Further west from hwy 2 the worse it gets. East side of hwy 2 quite a bit more advanced and guys down to last few fields but that is normal. A bit of standing crop left but lots is swathed, some has been down for almost 2 months and lots was swathed right on the ground because of lodging. Not looking good for those fields. Bit of white stuff this am but forecast looks good.

75% left here. Basically all of the canola and wheat. Some barley. All standing, canola and wheat will go if it can go two days without snow or rain. Barley is so flat it will take a lot of time and frost to get it dry. Will be working around a lot of wet areas, but not as bad as I first feared. Have tire chains on the tandem.

Still most of the second cut hay laying down, people still raking it every once in a while. Still some first cut that never got cut, lots more laying in water.

Got stuck trying to feed cows it is so wet.

west of highway 2, I doubt is 50%. Basically no canola off anywhere. Canola swaths are looking black in places.

West of Edmonton we are at 80% left to go and I would say most are 60-70% left. I don't know of anyone that is done in our county even the 300 acre guys. Yesterday we finished chopping some second cut for silage that was cut in September yet looked like it was cut the day before. Also have a 1000 acres of newly seeded alfalfa that we would like to bale or chop this year whenever it dries up or freezes so we don't destroy the field. Since June we haven't gone more than three days without rain or snow except for a week in September. At least there is still lots of pasture left. We haven't gotten a killing frost yet since we were under snow for most of October. Here's a pic of that second cut that was down for five weeks.
