How much yield will be lost this week?

[furrowtickler]

No disease? I'm sure the graders will find some...

Ya most likely... lol lol lol

Not good when one gets a hot day of the week and a cool front goes through with zero chance of rain .... 🌵

As I said last week, this one is done SE of Regina. Barely a drop of rain since June 8th.

Rain won’t help from here on out.

Some later seeded or reseed canola has lived its entire life without a more than a couple tenths of rain. That ain’t a good thing.

Have to phone the banker tomorrow and let him know it’s all looking great, maybe he won’t ask again until October!

We are making dust in a couple days!

Good luck Ache .. hope the best for you 👍 .. cause all the retail leaches around you and Ag industry as a whole will not care one bit ... that’s guaranteed. It’s a sad place to be ..... been there .

We've had about an inch and a half after June 8....it must be more Ghetto there than in the Slum of the Ghetto here.

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 .

Well said.

We are extemly fortunate over here. Started off really dry, first rain came may 24th and we have had 15 inches of timely rains since then. More drowned out than last year but I'm not complaining one bit. All crops easily look as good as last year, maybe even a bit better. And last year our crop was bigger than 2013. We are just pure lucky. Last rain 1.5 inches 8 days ago so should be enough to finish off the majority of the crop.

Happy Farmer, where is here? Here in west central AB, we have been measuring rains in the hundredths of an inch most of the summer, and we are supposed to be the wettest place on the prairies.

Like I said Our farm needs 4 good shots of rain in a growing season with a normal subsoil moisture in place.


Well, the last one is the exhibition Week in Regina.

That is this week.

Whats funny cold front comes through and looks promising and fizzles out.

Oh well, I am counting my luck so far Three out of four ain't bad.

No massive bumper here anymore as my late stuff if taking a hit.

Pig shit is to hot this year so that's also not great.

Hail did do more than I thought.

Next year country.

Markets heating up this morning like the weather. Is the trade finally waking up and realizing when combines are rolling in July, Houston we have a problem.

[bucket]

They should have started a few more fires so the smoke would have saved the crop this year....lmao.

Your right , the problem has been staring at everyone for 3 weeks in a very big area here in Western Canada, Europe and Australia . But hey what do we as farmers know ... lol lol

Well it may have , but the rains have kept the forest belt under control since late June

[SASKFARMER3]

Weird day in our part of the world on and off mist piss and showers.

Really got wet doing hail claims.

Nothing like walking two miles for 9% to 11%

To nothing.

[farmaholic]

Gotta take them out in a side by side....no walking...an extra 5% damage paid!

It has to hail mode than 10% for my insurance to kick in...lol...what ya think about that wiseguy... This Sandbox farmer is willing to sacrifice the first 10% for a cheaper premium...some of our rates are so low they don't even allow a "straight deductible" option.

I was hoping I would spot our black bear.

You know the old saying it doesn’t matter if he chases you just as long as your faster than the rest.

I would win the race wiTh our ajusters
