      There will be lost yield if you did not have leaf drop already . Ours will be hit . Most likely lose the top 30% of the pods . There will also be some seed damaged like green in canola . They have to look pretty bad to lose grade from a 1 to a 2 .
      But we have not seen a long frost in the past 4 years we have been growing them so not sure what to expect. The early 000 beans we have wil be fine . They are mostly defoliate already and mostly mature .

        Soybean growers can expect small green seed, we stopped growing them after having them freeze quite a few years back. It was -4 at 2:30am south of Wadena. We have some late canola seeded June 10 still grass green, it will be toast. Canola crushers will be adjusting basis today hoping to suck in a few more cheap buys before the $hit hits the fan.

          Any forecast indicating this frost will move into the Midwest for tonight? Their crops are late, but great, any chance of damage there?

                Minustemps for several hours here. Odd late canola will suffer, maybe ten per cent of acreage? Most is going to be ok. Earliest hard frost in many years here. Far more usual than the last 14 years. We are in a first week to the tenth of September historic frost area. Good thing it was drier and warm, so that crops were ahead. Otherwise this one woulda been a disaster for this area.

                Fireplace going hard this morning! Best wishes to those who are affected badly. Personally, I think I am ok, time will tell. Might have some discoloured flax, and a field of lighter oats.

                  Phone is lighting up with 'Canola Specials' alerts. Wont help the neighbours entire canola crop its a write off. I knocked ours down Saturday because of the forecast. Should be ok in the swath I hope. Was -3 for many hours. On Saturday Enviro Canada predicted 0, Weather Network +2, and accuweather -2. Accuweather for the win.

                    It’s a scam in a country with no real reporting mechanism except every thug is great mentality.

                    Frost on windows.

                    We grew soy and you win one usually first so then you add extra acres and get wiped next then try a few do ok then a few more ok then lots and get wiped again finally after a long trial and love growing them they look so awsome you give up.
