And the Experts Way in on Canola and Wheat Production! HA HA they have no clue!

[tweety]

Despite the farmers 'knowledge' the estimates year after year are pretty close.

"Canola bins are heating i've heard." Well that's gotta be at least a couple million tonnes, right?

Reality check time!

What's the plan for next year? More fertilizer, more fungicide, more expensive seed, to get ahead of the rest. I can bushel my way to the top.

If you can at least laugh at how stupid we are, its makes it a lot easier.

Yea over producing works so well.

From my neck of the woods in southern Alberta there was record canola yields ( it was below avg rainfall) and talking to other farmers from across western Canada mostly say the same thing. Even hear in rosetown area which was record wet and sub 10 bus lentils, that they were seeing 50+ bus canola. My sense is there is a lot of canola out there

All those areas you mention had the similar yields to higher the years before.

Here, there is still significant crop out. My own yeilds were better than last year, inspite of snow, spring frost, snow, no rain all spring/early summer, snow, significant hail, snow, frost, snow, lodging, and not to mention, snow. Not sure what will be left by spring.

I can tell you what will be left by next spring, ABF5.

Snow!

We only had flax left when the rain/snow hit in Oct.. got it all cleaned up in Nov. with the help of family and friends..
The flax took a kicking in Oct.. it lost about 20% weight in that weather

Nobody in my area bragging about canola yields this year.
