Friday Crop Report on a Thursday.

[SASKFARMER]

Oh, one knukle head crop advisor just stated over the weekend driving around the province doesn't tell the true outcome of what the crops will be like in fall. No, it doesn't but it sure lets you know that all areas have issues and plus thirty for a week or more isn't adding to yield. ****ing moron.

well, we are 40% done combining already , hail adjusters were very fair . think they were surprised at the extent of damage
spiked the canola ground
sprayed peas out
there is lots and lots and lots like that from petaigan to melfort

[bucket]

Sort of need a rain to finish the crop....although this week may speed that process up considerably with no rain for the next 14 days...therre are critical times for crop development ...this week will be one of them...yield around here will definitely be taking a hit...

Top pods will be aborted , rows on the head will shrink ...

BUT....WTF do I know....

Glad to hear your adjusters were fair
Hope ours are as well
Last time was decent, a lot depends on who the person is .
Some big areas hit bad now .
Is what it is in years like this , just like going to Vegas

Worked a quarter SMF, hardpan and DRY! In crop has to be drier, roots are deep, but our subsoil was nearly empty. The heat will not increase yield. Lucky those with a T- storm dump, Wadena got 1.6" in three days.

That’s where from the road glances don’t work well. You can drive an area and see excellent crops, but you don’t really know the soil moisture at all. Had a pretty fair tour of the northeast on the weekend. Mostly good to great looking crops, outside hail zones and some flood zones.

My guess? Average crop. Like nearly always...Some seriously great pockets though, including most in my immediate area. For once. It’s the season of high water needs for crops...

4 billion will solve that problem for 200 farmers.

Did you get the 1.6" Wadena had? 4/10" yesterday.

No rain yesterday. Thank goodness I need to bale my hay before the swath completely disappears. An inch in a wicked storm on Thursday night.
