    Going by memory on August 20, 2004 it hit -5C in a large portion of northeast Sask.......
    There was lots of sample canola and all kinds of downgrading.

        The problem is saskfarmer keeps having these Ndp and liberal barbecues all summer and while they sip fine wine and caviar (Russian imported through the DOnold). And stroll around drunk looking at those perfect crops with perfect rains so we then get these big crop projections.

        And I wasn't even invited!!! Hahahaha

          SF3 and I may cross paths in the waiting room at RBC Dominion Securities in Regina but when we're greeted by our advisors he is escorted to the top floor glass-walled penthouse over looking the city and I'm escorted down to the windowless basement boiler room.... address location is THEE only thing we have in common. So don't feel bad if you're not invited to go on the crop tours. Sometimes not knowing how good other people's crops are will save your sanity and self-esteem. We(most) each do the best we can with what we have. Location, location, location...

          Take care and make sure you have a safe harvest.

                  I wonder if there was a skim of ice on any of Input Capital's canola streams?

                    Anybody know the BRIX levels in their respective crops? Target a BRIX of 10 or more in wheat and barley. Higher the BRIX more it can withstand frost. Brassicas similar.

                        Yes its very cute to know the brix of your crop at all times. Yes I have a refractometer and garlic press. Mother Nature affects brix more than any other factor. Spray some kelp, humates, compost teas or whatever the hell you do no need to harp on us. In my experience its the guys that assume everyone else is doing it wrong who are the most out to lunch.

                          Hang on for the ride now, feds just gave $9.2 billion to the canola industry for research, and, $2.8 billion
                          for hemp research. Competing with soys I guess.

                                Some zeros out of place there. The entire Canola industry is only worth 26.7 billion per year. That we are investing one third of that
