    Peas desiccated and getting close to put in the bin....even at 20% moisture into aeration.

    Wheat changing color big time. Have 280 acres on flax stubble. Lots of volunteer flax came after the first good rain after I was already done in crop herbicides. Thought "oh boy"! Some volunteer flax on the higher drier ground dried to nearly a crisp, some on midslopes struggling, low spots it hung on the best.....obviously not an "abundance" of moisture. I doubt our wheat will have last year's bushel weight. Saw afew fusarium infected heads in low spots but nothing alarming.

    Canola is decent for the start to the growing season we had....Clearfield Nexera....not expecting miracles.

    Flax was pretty decent but now weeds are starting to poke up above the crop. It seemed to flower a long time...never seeded it last this year, but now way will it beat the flax crop we had in 2016.

    Yellow Mustard kinda looks ugly again. At peak flowering it looked good. It was well fed so hopefully it will surprise us.

    Talked to someone today that was afraid to look at their soy beans, figures they need a rain badly, but he said they were podded up well.

    Looked at some chickpeas today, ....how many times can you spray them for disease? If your into them for 2 apps already....what's a third one? Some bottom pods are tan brown and shrivelling with nothing in them. Yikes this year here.

    Neighbor's lentils look decent and changing color without alot of " brown" patches in them.

    The Ghetto crops won't be no screaming hell but we at least have a crop.
    Speaking only of my own,

        I love sask ag and foods rah rah nothing to see crap report.

        Some early harvest is happening, only a few crops are behind. They could have issues later but why think about that. All is good nothing to see move on.

        The heat and min rain is showing up big time. Lots of white spots on the drive up to foam lake and over to Canora last night. Still lots of canola flowering and one half peas full bloom. One barley still grass green. Others turning white.

        It’s not going to be a bin buster.

        Our bin project is moving along but it was planned two years ago with site pick. Concrete today.

                  Sask3, in the Western Producer a week ago: Grain World crop tour found above average crops in Saskatchewan and Manitoba. When I look at your crop pictures I sometimes think that thou doth protest too much! Watching the news last night and I see Lac Ste. Ann county, west of Edmonton, has declared an Agricultural emergency due to too much rain. Too wet to hay and their crops are f***ed.


                  In my area(east of RedDeer) we are certainly in better shape. We have been silaging for the last 4-5 days. I grew Thompson barley, it is a semi dwarf so it only got 3 feet tall which makes it nice for the swather operator because it doesn't lodge. Very happy with the crop, we have a FX300 case cutter with a 4640 pulling it and we are only cutting 19 feet with our 25 foot swather and the old Johnny is working in first gear lol. The grain is a little moist due to nightly showers.

                  We did finish haying before we started on silage. My neighbor asked me one day when we were baling, is your hay dry? My son says yup 2019 dry! So I have to admit that we left the moisture tester behind the seat and just baled.

                  Overall crops look good in my area. My Canola and peas both are done blooming and look good. I did not put fungicide on 2 fields of wheat but did the rest. Certainly is leaf disease on these 2 quarters and on the rest there is none. Interested to see if there are yield and protein differences and if it pays. Crops are certainly advancing slowly. Enjoy your day.
