Well, it looks like that is a wrap on Crop 2019. Thanks for all coming out it was a short year. Sad it didn't rain in the west and I guess we will try to do it again in 2020.
Just like that the promise from our great weathermen/Women the rain event is gone. So someone like CWB Chucky can explain how these experts can predict how cold the earth was or warm millions of years ago but can't get the forecast right 7 days out then 5 then one. Yea its science you study what you have and make a theory. Climate change is not happening this is a normal dry period in Canada and it's going to be one heck of a sick summer. No Tax will stop the drought of 2019.
Ok, the crop report for the past week.
All are done seeding in our area except the Organic guy and one Cowboy who had his barley in by July 1 last year. I think both will be done by Monday. So 99% done.
Crops are trying to grow and the ones in the moisture are up and running. Yes, the Deere says we have 3 meters of moisture so give it all you can boys and girls.
That one company was on CJGX Yorkton farm show yesterday talking markets and crops and all he kept saying was it's not that bad out in farmland with the crops it still has the potential for big yields. that's all these guys have is pump the piss to the crop and it will reward you. Ah if it doesn't rain it will break you. Kind of stupid since the first thing to be cut next year will be crop advisors.
Ok Spring wheat all of ours is up. We seeded at the regular 2 bus. plus an acre and most germinated and are growing in good to adequate moisture. The sand ridge is good for at least maybe 10 days and then that is it the rest will start to do weird shit in 17 days. Or simply put if we have no rain till farm progress show it will be not very nice in Saskatchewan. Some spraying is going on but we are going to wait till after the weekend as still a chance of rain. You can spray wheat right up till the flag with Axil Extreme so whatever. If no rain it will be 24D and Some cheap generic wild oat product.
Barley isn't as nice as other years with different stages of growth in the crop, could be an issue if we get rain as some will be bone dry at harvest and some green. Malt? Yea any maltster it's a dockage you'll think up even if there is no crop to buy come fall.
Why pictures are right way when you click on them but go sides ways when you post. Maybe its crop 2019 going sideways already.
Peas are out and again some still not germinated some really getting big and some so so.
Spraying is happening but it seems guys are just not sure what to spray on them as some will kill them next week if it cools down as they say. Then carry over chemical problems for 2020 if the drought continues. Ah, peas the piss poor crop that was destroyed by our dancing fool.
Lentils in our area are extremely short like all crops. That is a worry for harvest if we have one. Also how short will my AC Brandon be if it doesn't rain? 4 to 6 in.
Flax is up and trying in the dry conditions. Lots seeded early so some frost happened.
Durum we have a few fields in our area it looks good like wheat so far and sprays spray spray Fungicide so you have a great crop.
Canola,
Enough said.
Piss poor germination, dry conditions don't help, frost got some early, flea Beatles etc etc. etc. The 2019 crop is in trouble I will tell you that right now. One field in our area has rows but it is on very light land that caught one rain (2/10) hour after drill left. But it could be dust by next week without rain. Early seeded and shallow have big issues. Some who went deeper is just poking out now. Cool again next week.
Ah, market knows the price drops. HAHAHAHA
I will call it struggling so far this year for Canola.
Continued. 5 photo rule.
