Friday Crop Report on a Thursday!

[Horse]

Crops here look good considering the yr we've had. Got statement on moisture defficeny
May actual 9.70 normal 50.72 MM
June actual 55,60. Normal 87.32
We have got more in July but for some the damage was already done. According to my figures 100 mm normal for July is 90mm.
The rain was spotty like a hail storm, like it would stop on a fence line and hit again somewhere else crops are late here but grass seems way ahead like its browning off. Won't be any 2nd cut this yr.

Got an inch out of the blue last night. Too late for early crops, but will help green oats and canola at least fill what is there. Very glad to have got that rain.

Still be below average crop here. If the rain had come three weeks ago, it woulda been a monster.

We are sitting at just 4.2 in since May on most of the farm , about 1/2 of normal
Beans about 5.5 in , the closer to HWY the higher the rain fall , west of HWY 4 the more it gets .
Lashburn area up to 15 in or more from what I’ve heard

At least 15”. Kinda in a sweet spot. May was brutal dry but started raining in June so been fortunate.

That tells us nothing!! You like talking yield, so what’s the number??
Last could have been 60, this yr 55.

Anyone from the Vegreville area ??


Seen this picture yesterday, but not 100% sure it was Vegreville.

Pretty sure that's highway 22 south f Calgary in the foothills.

Driving through the grain farming areas in France, seems farmers are high-speed discing or ripping, leaving huge hard clay-like lumps. They need a lot of rain to break those lumps. The ground that we stopped to see was very dry sandy clay (pavement) but we did see a bit darker soil in one area around Dijon. In the same area were hundreds of acres of fruit trees and g****s. Actually saw one Canola field where a bit was left on the edge of a village.

I, for one, would certainly not object to more such reports in your travelogue.

Keep'em coming!
