Friday Crop Report on a Thursday!

[dave4441]

We harvested our first field of Peas yesterday. This field looked rough all growing season. Had some early rains and a timely rain in July. I was hoping for 35-40bpa. When we finished last night the quarter averaged 57bpa. I'am shocked. I think in our area guys will be surprised.

Same story with my peas Was thinking 30 but possibly 20 bu/ac, Now guessing 40+ after getting into them to desicate

I wish. Less than half of last year.

More like 2/3 to 75% of long term average.

Peas around Saskatoon/colonsay running in the 40s so far... Guys just starting so average will drop a bit yet.

I posted a while back on here that after all the fretting about no rain, when all is said and done there will be many 60+ wheat, 50+ canola and pea yields posted here on agriville.who needs rain to grow a crop anymore? Just look at the beautiful pictures of the crops sf3 has been posting this year. It would be nice to have that on a bumper year let alone one with an inch of rain all growing season coupled with high winds and 35 degree days.

Peas looked like 40 ish from sprayer when dedicated around here or from HWY 4 , nothing close , manly high 20's to low 30's .

Thats not what I wanted to hear. Those crops looked much better than around here. Nothing harvested near us yet that I know of.

Neighbor started on 6 row bly..approx 70b/a..testing 16 to 20 moisture.

Is that good bad or otherwise? Would be below average for here.

Most of it looks better than that..but some zeros and spots of 40..thinking it's a honest number.

Well the year of no rain now shows its true results. Peas started yesterday. Plant mass because we were so wet in spring really good. But as plant grew and water ran out in july with 45 days of no rain it looked like a 55 bus nice thick stance and really only 35% of what it looked like from the road.

So if you take last years crop Wheat and Barley and Peas will be 35% of normal and Canola will be i still figure 50% of normal. Rain in August was just to late.

,,,,,,,,,then that's only 19.5 bu/ac???? Can't be that bad.

Or is it 35% less than normal which would be 35.75 bu/ac.

just at 40 for the peas but never harvested peas that stood so nice and were easy to cut. Now i know the guys who don't get rain in harvest feel. Its easy to farm that way. Usually ours are nice then we desiccate then it rains two inches and wind and they go flat as a pancake.

Let me clarify they had a stand and looked to pod for about a 55 bus crop. Seeds are smaller than normal and only podded at top of the plant. So basically ran out of water late in the season then when it finally rained it just filled the late seeds.

[furrowtickler]

Late seeded peas are going to be much better here but there are very very few late seeded peas .
