Friday Crop Report on a Thursday!

[AlbertaFarmer5]

Canola still grass green locally. Except where it was cooked by the hot weather and blasted all the flowers. Can see all the different soil types from the road.

Some peas being harvested by the out of town BTO, nothing else locally that I've seen.

Early wheat and barley handled the dry better than canola. Some later seeded is a disaster.

Pastures are a wreck. Community pasture already sent cows home, see some people feeding already, and a lot more that should be.

Second cut hay is almost non existent.

As we get to later seeded we have smaller pods

Just a bit of barley and peas done here. Fair bit of canola swathed. The rest needs a couple weeks to mature to harvestability. Barley guys are very happy with, in spite of looking iffy. Peas no idea, but looked real good. Hope to heck my oats are a surprise, they don’t look too great. Same with flax. Canola in the area is decent looking. For the first time, I have non green flax in August. Might be ready in September! Subsoil made this crop what it is. Need a recharge this fall, to get back to where it should be.

Pasture is dependent on management and if you have enough acres to spread out the animals enough. Not many guys who work year round anymore so not much pasture to look at. Hay was good, esp alfalfa.

Heard they are selling hay at quill lake for 130 a bale. Glad I have enough, wish I had some to sell.

Area peas all in. Some barley.
Need a week of good weather to consider wheat. Swathing canola generally.
Field I started with could be my worst in 25 years. Later seeded, a few drill issues. Wow, i can see the different soils from road.
Early seeded good stands might touch avg but i see none that are leaning.

Yikes, but last week of rain didn’t materialize so here’s hoping it can hold off a week or so. 🍀
