Big bad storms headed from the South to North in Saskatchewan last night. Lots of Thunder and lightning and well just about piss all for rains in our area. Hit the big hole in Saskatchewan and just went flat or split or just did shit all. Its time to turn our attention on its the ****ed up year of the tenth and start praying for dry with a bit of wind fall.
Now our land to the south did finally get some rain and should be at 3 inches since April when the snow left.
The yard got 2/10 and to the north of us did manage over a half-inch. The yard's total now is 5.77 inches since April 1. All came in tenths and one rain that was 1.5 in over three hours or I guess described as a good soaker.
Friends texted from the Yorkton area they are already harvesting HRS, they are not desiccating it but going straight and it is dry and 15.5 protein but yields are way way way down. Pea yields are half of what our area is doing. The rain was min all year. Google Yorkton location its not the SW part of Sask. but NE and harvest have begun with no desiccation or swath. Yep, Sask. ag and food its a great big crop 20% higher than last year. **** RIGHT OFF>
So here is the crop report.
Harvest has started south of the valley with peas and lentils. South of town peas are being harvested with yields less than last year by anywhere from 20 to 30%. Moisture just didn't happen. The yields are better than some areas to the NE that are half of what we are getting. So overall our Peas will turn out ok once they are off if the storms stay away. No bin burner but lucky very lucky to get what we are getting with min rain. North of town is just getting sprayed and will be 10 days away from harvesting.
Barley so far-fields seeded real early are changing way to fast. Later by a week are holding on and each shower will help fill or make plumper kernels. Swathing will start next week on Monday if we have a 5-day window with zero rain and it sure looks that way right now. Our barley might need an extra week.
Oats are getting hit with the heat and min rain and is short in our area filling is happening with odd white spot seen.
Durum is starting to show changes with head and filling. I hate that all the experts put Durum for Pasta in the same category as wheat for bread and call it all wheat. The south and west side of Sask has wall to wall wheat it is a massive crop coming every field looks good and good for you guys its nice to see. Our area has min durum but guys shouldn't have issues with Fusarium this year so could make top-grade and yields will be similar to HRS in our area.
Spring wheat is filling nice and its starting to look like spraying a fungicide this year paid off. Yes were min rain but the 1.5 in and a week later .5 and dew every morning did have a wet canopy for weeks. HRS look like last year but I'm still doing counts and feel it will be less than our massive 2019 crop. We have wheat that will be ready to go in 14 days and then our best wheat needs frost free till the first week of September. It is a section that gets hit with a shower and shower and shower but no big rain. So I'm upping my wheat yield for our area to just below average.
Flax is turning and filling and is a surprise on some farms.
Fall rye is taking forever to come down to dry and it looks like after peas fall rye will be harvested. Some fields are ok some are so so. Dry spring didn't help.
Canola is all about the shower. Got a shower right time right day or looked away you have a not bad crop. Missed every shower or rain and its turning and could be swath today. Yes, that's early August not Sept. for our area. Canola is short on some fields with thinner stands than usual. Drive a mile away and you have a taller full-filled field that actually doesn't look that bad. Drive another mile and its oh my. One conclusion i have come to is I still haven't found a 12/10 canola crop in all my drives. Some 10/10s in areas that don't usually get crops like that but some 10/10 with 30% flooded or dirty from spraying in rain. Some 5/10 and well hail-damaged just doesn't like the heat. For our area compared to last year yields will be down 20 to 30% or more. Yep the year of the tenth could have dropped a few more tenths. Oh, all the bullshit on the news about Canola is gold. Yep, its gold to other countries buying our shit at discount prices doing some paperwork and sending the same shit to china and profiting $2.00 a bushel shuffling paper. We have a federal gov that doesn't give a shit because we're still moving canola. ITs at a loss you ****ing morons.
Pastures are going downhill really fast and they needed a rain three weeks ago.
Hay crop came off not bad, green feed seeded late is a total shit show. Also, guys seeding later in June its a shit show.
So, in general, it looks like an average to below average for cereals in our area with Canola way lower than past years.
Have a great day and I love the Bloc nail that useless piece of shit.
