Nope. She's bad.

Just combining our first barley field west of Lethbridge. Seeded second week of April running 35-40 bus 45lbs per bushel. Hearing of under 40 bus weight further east. Also in SE Alberta lentilsnrunong under 10 bus and the best peas so far running 25. Have a neighbour who got some durum in late for here mid may and looks like he might get 5 bus. Heads are not filling at all. 40-60km winds today 32 degs. 14 day forecast has more days above 33 then below

Thanks Vwalk I new it was bad and it's just going to get worse. Crop report from sask ag sugar coated it a bit but like always make it sound better than it is. Today not much wind here but heat and no cloud cover like yesterday barley that was early is changing and surprise surprise surprise malt is up to $5.50 today ****ers are finally getting the point a huge area is going backwards and the wet is late and flooding in places plus they counted last falls production so they kind of can't do the math and create 120 bushel canola or wheat.

Durum is really in trouble. 95% of where durum is grown in North America has had the hottest driest on record. Depending on what there really is for carry over i don't see why we won't see $15+ durum. Even $20+. Want that long ago we saw the prices that high

I agree with you on durum proabably even last years shit will fetch a nice price

crops really looking good in this little pocket , but they're probably to late . I'm sure she'll get us one way or another . plane still spraying carumbra on some peoples wheat today ! canary and barley aren't real great though

[fjlip]

Just wild extremes on prairies as a whole. Just like caseih, looks great but late here too....

Thanks for posting that hobby,...... goes to show.(in more than one way)

We stood in the field of peas up to my belt, all tangled together pods everywhere. I saw a few volunteer hemp plants, a bit of mustard and all peas. After he explained how and why they seed this way, I realized how simple it can be and how much I dont know.

Care to elaborate on that last point? What was the reason for broadcasting the peas in the first place? Too wet from last fall, didnt get the hemp stubble worked down?

[hobbyfrmr]

Due to a big snow storm in early October They did not get the hemp stubble worked down. They buried the hemp stubble and planted peas all at once. It looked like it worked great. It was a beautiful crop, no root rot. All peas a few weeds.

Good info but its north of the 16 and that is paradise this year. Like it use to be. We always got to be part of that group but for some unknown reason this year the line starts 15 miles East of Us. Next year maybe it will move back to normal.
