Friday Crop Report on a Thursday!

Sk wheat king wtf is wrong with you.

Haven't you realized that this is the first year in say 16 that we actually have a decent seeding experience. Not playing in the mud getting stuck in the half hour not having to leave fields because can't get down main roads or back roads. Having tractors with 600 plus hp not being able to pull full tanks or trading down a size so you can fill it. I hate mud for a reason it is such a curse you can't believe. I still love a good rain but. It every single day for years. So yes some have a interesting spring and fall last year and I really feel for them but I have experienced it for so long you almost can't believe when a normal spring arrives.

Shut down today as a mist is enough to wet our ground and cause issues. We pray in this area that it doesn't keep raining like it use to or come back. Call me after 16 plus years of the wet shit then we can talk.

Nice.

Yea it is nice why comment at all if you can't say anything good. It's a crop report that was started because in the NDP years it was always rosy nice and great even if farmers were struggling. So yea!

Finished seeding Tuesday night. 8/10 rain yesterday. Very thankful. Went around more sloughs than I can count. Peas and wheat up. Interesting to note 1 neighbour about 8 miles away still has some combining to do. Ground still to soft. Many seeding units in the area taught to lead multiple times this spring. We were lucky my son does an amazing job of picking where he can go and where he can't. If I was driving the drill I am sure it would have been stuck many times. Tow between tank helps a great as well imo. Also have to compliment my 7660 spra-coupe. Not necessarily an Agco fan but this sprayer with duels on the back managed to get through stuck free with me at the wheel. Many deep ruts but it kept going. There are advantages to being a small operator.

Seeding here wrapped up second week of May. Cereals look great, corn emerged, soybeans just popping out nicely. Canola little patchy due to dryness, last weekends showers will help . Flea beetles usual proble. Overall most of eastern half of mb needs a good 1" rain. Post emergent spraying of cereals will start next week. Bring on the heat, its been cool here.

This big storm is kind of funny actually. I have said for a good couple months the weather pattern has changed. For us this is back to a normal spring. We have had basically min or F#$K all rain since snow event back in late april.
Our sub soil is still full but seeding for our area was and is almost like a dream. Some areas you haven't seeded in five years are back. Lots of burning and thank god for sprayer as the extra boom into the wet spot last fall finally worked out good this spring.

But back to the big bad storm. Its not like other years a storm of that size would have given our area three inch down pour in the first round and then another one on the back side of it. Basically yesterday a mist and then more mist with a few drops here and their. Not great for seeding.

Oh well its Western Canada the weather is always changing. Could be a drought for some maybe even our area. Who knows for sure. But one thing is clear this year is different already than the last 10

There may not be big rains falling in some areas but I wouldn't trust it.
If the dry areas could get a "germinating rain" so the crop could root they would likely be happy for the time being

There is enough moisture in western canada that warmer weather could drum up some real good t-storms

Having said that the 10 day outlook does look on the dry side for Sask. Some light showers off and on for Alberta
