Monday morning drivearound

[Hopalong]

Took thirty mile local inspection tour, canola crops have filled in amazingly, only the very odd one not full yellow as seen from road.
Most cereal fields also looking good and even flax looking not too bad.
Rains have been about right, any more would be starting to fill sloughs and raise water table on lower ground.
After two years of record yields, looking like might be third one coming but too soon to make predictions.
After being in crop insurance and agristability from start, not sorry. Hope local growers do not become overconfident and drop out of risk management programs.

And what area is that?

[Hopalong]

East of Regina, black soil zone.
Even with good yields, other part of a profitable year is good quality and prices.

From the air, the stand is not so good around here. Many bald patches will not fill in this year. How far east of Regina are you Hopalong? We are still praying for rain but like Furrow is experiencing, the clouds split just before they get here. Maybe today🙏🏼

I guess you're right, this was a picture I took....I guess it was some dumb guy.....lmfao!!!!!

East of regina did recover but the crop from the air is not as thick as it was last year. Indian head had wheat yields that were insane they wont this year.

Late is the word of the day.

We need a open fall.

The one year where I couldnt get it up has turned into a very lush crop here later in the season. Probably 6 inches of rain since June 20. But very late. Lentils look like they dont want to stop growing, flowering now. Canola is filling in big time but 3 different stages. Will need mid sept for that. And have some wheat that has tillers as high as some early stuff headed out.

Oh and did I mention the weeds? Holy F do people have a flush here. Everything from wild mustard to wild oats. Timing was just off.

Noticed this morning on a drive into town, large areas of lentils turning yellow. I guess disease from underneath has made it through to the top growth now. Also roots rot in peas.
Insane rain, showers nearly every evening(not a large amount to measure, but makes the crop soaked overnight, plus the daytime humidity, crazy high. Everything is wet till noon. SE Sask

Yup on the peas. They were pretty healthy until the third week in June when the rains came. Starting to see the above ground symptoms now.

Damned if it rains damned if it doesn't.....when it comes to peas and root rot.

That's the reason we stopped growing peas. White mold, root rot. Would look awesome until the first good rain, then start to thin out. Yellow in lentils in low spots but I also see yellowing in spots where water didn't sit, so more likely root disease of some type.

I think you need to get out more... work in belle plain and yes gorgeous crops not that far out and it's more like 100's of miles of shit after that. farm by kenaston and it's not looking good... yes there are a few nice crops but many many many more poor ones
