Stick a fork in it. Lake time **** it this one is over zero rain in July!

This weather pattern in the 30's had many farmers moving up here to farm. Rain rarely misses the NE corner. Been TOO wet since 2010. BIG water still BIG, check Quill Lake levels. But it is always COLDER, freezes sooner, and harvest is always later, just can't have it perfect. Kelvington at 8.6" rainfall, highest in the province, isolated spots more than that. Drown outs on 10%.
Sorry to hear of the crop losses. But our determining crop factor will be frost date.

someone's off there, actually north of carrot River/Tobin lake is in excess of 16" since spring , on top of the 40+or- " last growing season . very little crop in those areas

Geez some of you are relentless I wish you would drop it already.

Every year is different. Challenging as hell but take her as she comes.

Wow. That is impressive.
I cant even remember what I did yesterday.

Farmer Smuck, you are amongst friends here, even though sometimes it doesn't sound like it. Today I met with a young friend who lost his dad to cancer in January, a strong, vibrant enterpreneur and farmer. Man, I feel for your loss.

Yup Saskfarmer, you're screwed, just like many of us

That'll seal the deal. Even my area is under a heat advisory but we need it. Had a big rain event Sunday Monday so some heat now will push things along and we may beat an early frost hopefully.

You lucky duck, Wilton Ranch. Enjoy, and send some rain down our way. There's not enough moisture here to make tears. 😿

Wheats dropping like a stone so they can screw all the guys off the combine in a month. But nothing has changed for the better the drought continues. Australia still dry yields are down protein is tough find and snowed and froZe in some parts of South America but all is good just a great big magical day!

Wheat drop was due to very good yield estimates from the start of the crop tour in eastern manitoba and northern part of North Dakota.

Up today due to them seeing a bit rougher crop.

Market reflects global supply and demand. Guess when supply increases.

Or you know magic

I count my blessings cause more often I've been in your guys circumstance than wet. Next year it could be our turn. I'm stockpiling feed already.

When it comes to surveys what everybody knows isn't worth knowing
Nobody pays attention to these crop tours. Everyone is waiting for the next weather forecast. And it is too late for some areas even if it did start raining.
Enhanced satellite shots of Montana and N Dakota comparing 2016 and 2017. It's dry. Montana's on fire.

Are markets ever set by actual sales?

I thought I read there was a delegation of about 76 people on a crop tour, including millers , bakers, and GrainCos. The "Boots on the Ground" guys, aka the actual Producer, knows damn well what's going on.

I too think this is turning into a "what is" and not a "what can be" for a large part of the American northern tier States and the Canadian Prairies. There is likely places where rain would do a bit of good yet, but here we are just about out of time on our farm. Definitely too late for peas. Maybe plump up some wheat and help canola fill a bit better. But time is of the essence.

Its almost time to look at it for what it is because there is little potential left for it to be any better in some places.

Try again next year, maybe it will be better. Heaven forbid worse.... and it could be here.

Harvest safe.
