Friday Crop Report on a Thursday!

[SASKFARMER3]

Cooling off the next week. But some damage to early blooming peas and canola. The heat Did push the crop on.

.....some damage? I have a hard time believing our crop will yield half as much as last year's!

"I" MUST have done something wrong...

Tweety those are the same crop pictures used for the flood years. Hahaha

Honestly yorkton farmers have to be the biggest pussies around. Whining and complaining about what might be my God when people are actually dealing with the real life reality of no crop at all.

Wiseguy. The "some damage" comment was reference to our crop. Hot, dry and windy has taken its toll, before and after the June 14th rain that will at least give us some sort of a crop. One more decent shot of rain, had it fell recently or SOON, would still make a difference.

I hate looking at it already, but there is definitely worse out there!

[biglentil]

Are we lucky we caught that rain June 14th or are we unlucky it rained so little all season? Or is it unlucky to believe in luck?

[farmaholic]

Let me think about that a minute.



I think I'll sleep on it and get back to you!

29C next Thursday and Friday

Peaked out at 103° today with a 20mph wind... 85° Tomorrow at 30mph. On the upside mother nature will do all my dessicating this year! Peas are changing fast!

Peas in this area shutting down , and have shrunk almost 6 in the past 4-5 days
Some not bad looking pea crops but not sure what will be in them .
Some peas will not make 10 bus / ac
The odd field may make 40
There is canola fields as well that will not make 10 bus / ac
Wheat looks ok but the heads will start to turn white next week if we stay without any significant rain
Hrsw by far holding on the best here but still will be below average now .
Not speaking province wide , just the area NE and east of the Battleford's .
A lot of crop in that area is burnt out already and will produce very little .
Sad to see , that area had a good start .

The sprayer is parked. A few people are working down pulse and legume crops.

In 88 they had 50% normal rainfall so approx 6". In 61 which was the driest year on record approx 5". We are at 3" of rainfall it could end up being the driest in recorded history. There are areas under 2". Driest in years try driest in centuries. Give me some mud!!!

The last 60 days .....
by far the most important concerning rainfall and crop growth .
From May 15th on ...

Hobby....have you just described your organic farming practices! No pesticides so no need for a sprayer, and legume plowdowns for nitrogen! But if the comment fits the theme....post on.
