Some came up really fast went into bloom and is now done. Hot temps, warm nights and no recovery period. Convinced some of these hurricane winds we had have stripped some flowers too. Seems shorter too.

Belt high on what's coming out of flower. Won't be many 50s printed on the monitor this year

Klause, if that crop is where you're from, I bet that area isn't used to that kind of crop.

I seeded everything a 1/2 inch deeper this year and my canola is just starting to flower. Same with the flax. Durum just headed out. Hope that makes the difference because there is no rain in the forecast at all.

Yup that's yere

I'm definitely not used to this crap.

Just back from Archerwill to Carrot River, to Nipawin, to PA, then Waskaseiu, to Melfor-Tisdale. All crops are fantastic, a few drown outs. My guess is 60% canola 25% barley rest is wheat and peas. It's real yellow out there! Very close to 90 barley, 65 wheat, 50 canola like last year.

Its the shortest I have ever saw it bloom this year and I am not sure of the reason. I know the heavy rains hurt it but I have had that lots in the past and it would still bloom three week to a month. I know it never went short of moisture.

The old saying was 10 bu. for ever week of bloom. Maybe that has changed with the new super seeds.

Ours just started flowering a couple of days ago and my expectations are quite low. I’ve learned after the past few years to count on zero as a yield till it’s been dried and put in the bin. With how late it is I’m confident the grain dryer will still be one of the best investments we’ve made.


Our leaves aren’t a fraction the size of SF3’s leaves 😉

Back in March this was 40’ poplars and now it’s 4inch oats which I think is frickin’ awesome 😎



Still got a couple hundred more acres to “convert “ next winter here

Hauled out the bulls a couple of days ago to start on next years calf crop. They’ve got the life...... only “work” (if you can call it that) for 63 days and lay around till next summer 😉

Agreed that entire area appears to have a lot of potential for a large yield.....lots of yellow in every direction.

Grain companies and the railways should start planning and allocate railcars according......we don’t want any excuses for not moving grain again this winter.
