Thunderstorms are rolling past tonight that make me nervous. The first one was all wind and a few drops of rain but it is dark again in the west with lightning so my fingers are crossed it goes by also without much rain.
Went for a drive East of here today towards Porcupine Plain and crops looked really good. Better than here just a bit later.

Simple answer to the first question ... 15 % min of what was there after the past 3 days if you had very little sub soil .... do the math on your own farm ... it’s going to vary as far as yield from area to area .
And that’s on top of average yields at best not bin busters that was predicted by some “experts†a few weeks back. Those “experts†should have their names public and fired for helping drive down local grain prices . People need to be held accountable for the reactions they cause as “experts†... just my opinion

Checked canola tonight, the last week of blooming was a complete waste of the plants resources. 2 - 3 inches at the top of the branches are empty spikes, no pods. The plant would have been better off not trying to bloom in that heat and save the resources to put seed in the pods that are there. Very disappointing, yield will be nothing special, hoping just to meet trend.

I will say this ... most of us were wrong last year , sub soil moisture did things most of us never seen .. even after 30 years ... this year , completely different ball game

I have seen it before but did not think it could happen again , year .. 2000 , cutknife / Delmas / Paynton area , pulled off big yield on a very dry year off subsoil . That was 80% of western Canada last year. It can happen , and has .. Western Vickie and SaskcanFarmer can attest to that .
But this year is not the case again for most of us .
