how much yield will be lost this week?

None according to most experts ...


In my part of the world and doing counts ...if you go from 6 to 4 row you have lost 30 percent and if it doesn't rain it could be more and at one point a rain won't help.....other than to help turn the crop....

we are just about there.

And don't forget when it was dry back at 5th leaf ...those heads are not as long as they should be for the groceries applied.

One positive side no sloughs so up and down.

Yes growing degree days are higher than other years it’s coming fast time to get the crew back from Holliday’s in a week or two.


Some times a mile over is nice and it just because of showers

Crop going backwards for sure.

10 year wheat yields 70-90 be happy to crack 55 this year and if it doesn’t rain soon that won’t happen.

10 year canola yield is 45-65 this year hoping to crack 40 but same story it’s going backwards and desperately needs rain.

Things here in NE Sask look good and we have had no rain since early July. My clay is a curse most of the time but then there are times it helps. July temps were cooler except for the last couple days. All I want now is more of the same warm and dry.

I have not drove anywhere to see what surrounding areas look like but my guess is all the NE looks good and will be harvesting in about 10-14 days.

Provably harvesting Mustard by early next week
Won't have much left after filling my 10 bushel/acre contract

Lots of poor looking Durum as well, funny how durum was around $ 7 when I started farming in 1973
45 years later and same price
Dad bought a brand new 4430 JD for 17000, you can still buy them for that but it'll have 15000 Hours !

That must be a magic number for 4430's! I bought one in 1998 with 6000 hours for 17000.

Combining taking place between Regina and MJ yesterday. If that doesn’t say something nothing will. If this weather keeps up hot and dry there will be many combines put away by Sept long.

We are busy haying, and I keep watching the forecast and radar begging for rain, kids couldn't understand why I want hay to get rained on. I explained that we are losing tens of thousands of dollars a day without rain in our grain crops vs. a minor inconvenience to putting up hay. Our canola still had a lot of potential a few days ago, the supposed week of rain ended up with almost a quarter inch, a few hundredths at a time. That doesn't go farat 30 above. Still flowering, but burning up the lower leaves, all leaves droopy during day, and threatening to shut down flowering way too early. Any lighter soil shows up easily.

Our heavy clay and infinite subsoil hold massive amounts of water, and usually pull us through long dry spells, but there was no subsoil water to hold this year. The 365 day drought monitor map has us between 1 in 50 and 1 in 25 year dry.

Cereals in the area are turning various shades, that never happens in July, and I don't think all of the shades are healthy.

Proof that moisture is the most limiting factor rather than temperature.

Proof that moisture is the most limiting factor rather than temperature.

Yes, 1 year in about 20. All the rest, it is growing season length and heat units.

Wow today took yield.

But the guy was on Yorkton radio doing a interview again with farm link and the idiot was talking larger yields than last year.

Every one who uses this service should be ashamed at the bull shit.

Walked 8 quarters hail damage today.

I hate dealing with retired teachers. But after first field and a argument it went rather smooth.

One Barley field 40 plus damage.

Canola 30% on two, the rest not that bad.

Heat is doing damage hopefully one more rain but think late canola will be poorer Han I thought.

Oh well it’s farming.

If they make it sound big farmers will spend spend spend

Still looking good here in the NE, keeping my fingers crossed.
