Friday Crop Report on a Thursday!

[Braveheart]

What’s going on in Manitoba? The satellite shows spinning squalls parked over Brandon for days. Way too early for winter🙈

It's a weather bomb. Piles of snow. Howling wind. Anyone with canola swaths might welcome the snow banks on the swaths or they would have blown away.

On October 12, you have to wonder if it's a season ender. What will it take to make it go away. Then field conditions.
Best of luck to those affected.

That's a spinner alright. It is parked over the same spot and goes round and round. I hope that line doesn't move like the 2000s west a couple of hundred miles. Those in it I feel for you. It's downright ugly. A salesman I know is in Winterpeg for meetings and sent pictures. Wow.

We need a First nation Summer. Its got to come. One day or week or 28 days.

The one coming from the west is the one we need to miss.

Most guys done or near done here now ,lots of juice going on , harrowing and spraying mostly done .
This is a very rare treat for this area, happens next to never
Was hauling canary seed 40 miles and pretty much all thats left is standing canola,(some will be swathing again)actually a lot of it . All the swathed is done. Canola yields down here about 15 % , doesnt matter if its early or late or in between . Nearly all wheat is feed , even the beautiful #1 we carried over , lol

Here S of Regina I estimate 60% done. Some wheat out there yet, some late chicks and almost all canola. Couple odd fields of flax.

But looking at a little harvest window later this week should move that number pretty good. 3 nights hard frost hopefully freeze dried.

Thankful to have missed heavy snowfall not too far east of here in Manitoba, got about two inches earlier in week and enough more to make up for melting.
Estimate one third to half crop in area still out, including significant amount of canola left to straight cut.
Canola yield has likely been best ever, not too much missed May showers for good germination.
Spring wheat disappointing after last year record yield and now low quality and lower yield.
Also thankful to have missed early snowfall of other areas in recent years, a bit of an awakening.
