Friday Crop Report on Thursday!

[seldomseen]

The crop is looking decent here except canola just never seemed to recover from the heavy early June rains. It is still flowering and looks ok from the road but if you walk in it hasn't branched very good and looks a little weak. Time will tell on that.


With lots of drought talk and feeling a lot of west was on the dry side I held on to a bit of old crop canola. That doesn't look like a good idea now!

the right side up... I wish I knew for sure what I was doing wrong with the camera on my phone. Sometimes it doesn't seem to matter which way I hold it.

Hate to say but west side canola crops baring hail are good. Some exceptions but more management related.

Nothing wrong with saying the crop looks good. Just my gamble!

You're not alone, looks like it might get a birthday or two now...

The gas tank in most areas known as sub soil moisture is almost empty. 2018 will not be a repeat of 2017. Wind from hell today but cool. Really cool low 7 tonight. Not cool.



This head needs 6 weeks till harvest. Lots can go wrong.

Walk some canola fields boys they aren’t as nice as they look at 70 mph.

Today’s winds are insane.


Big yields are being made.


Last nights low plus 7. Ouch

Flax in our area.

Lots

Wow two useless fools.

See when neighbours and you get along you can be miles away and they communicate with you. I knew the storm path and we’re our farm got hit by the storm thanks to friends and family and darn good neighbours.

You two fools have no clue.

I just thought it was a good joke, instead, it was buried at the end of a long and mostly dead thread where no one saw it, and I offended SF3( I didn't appreciate that it was hail that had hit your farm, I thought it was your neighbors). I guess that backfired. I'm usually the one calling my distant neighbors to notify of hail, since we mostly farm in a fairly tight area, and know about it right away.

No problem
