No can’t be one guy on my Facebook said his oats is doing 105 at quilt swath was tiny. Must be Facebook yield time again.

When asked what the bushel Weight was total silence.

Another 60 plus canola field

I see your wheat yield estimates have dropped from a high of 67.7, to a poltry 61.5
How much has your canola taken a hit?
Likely still going to be high 50s? Except for your pig shit field which got too hot. I will give you credit for TRYING to get prices up..... we need them, at the end of the day there’s carryover and demand to be concerned about.
That pic you show is an isolated area, the rest of the crop has good potential. Isn’t that what the “experts” say??
Oh ya there’s talk of rain which will further benefit production. LMAO 🤣

[SASKFARMER3]

Hahahah I’m not trying to talk up prices.

I just find it hilarious that In this country no one ever talks about the crop other than the potential huge size.

I have traveled enough of sask this simmer and it’s a joke what some will get.

That picture isn’t a random shot that’s what canola looks like for miles.

Flower blast on late isn’t a yield gainer.

Went to Edmonton airport to pick up some family yesterday,150 km drive from where I live east of Red Deer. I thought our crops were suffering from lack of rain. From south of Bashaw all the way past Camrose crops looked much worse than in my immediate area. Canola was over a foot shorter, crops looked less than 50% of normal. It wasn't until I got to Leduc that things improved a bit. In my area yields will be average at best. One pea crop harvested so far, 40 bushel yield, about 15 bushels less than last year. This heat and lack of rain certainly costing yield by the day.

Yep people and farmers especially need to drive around the industry lies so cheap grain can be bought.

Waited on canola picks cheap basis in winter knowing That BTOs we’re out of Canola and bins were empty then when numbers worked and canola hit 12 sold made extra cash but what do I know I’m just a stupid farmer.

Industry just wants us five min before broke keep spending till we have nothing left.

This crop is way less than last year

SF3...who's heads will be bowed lower?

The wheat's heads laden with grain or the farmer's with disappointment's pain?

...and my chorus refrain....mine will be bowed with the weight of gratitude knowing my crop, in the Slum of the Ghetto, will at least be better than last year's!

Cut out 7545 today.

Partners, that looks decent 👍

Indeed! Nice even looking crop and nice job of swathing with that MacDon.

I'd be proud too👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Really short Canola this year. That field looks decent how deep is the pod depth. Fingers to elbow or shoulder.

Just curious.

[farmaholic]

Our pod depth measures a little more than finger tip to wrist. 👉☝👈

Yes is general canola is shorter this year but it seems to be more of a variety and or seed timing thing . There are some normal to tall canola crops around here within the exact same areas as very short canola crops .
Wheat same thing . Earlier the seeding date the shorter the crop . Peas stand out as the biggest difference. Some later pea crops will double the yield of early ones .
That’s the unknown factor in farming , you just never know come seeding time how the season will play out .
