Video tape them, every one does

Farm Link is adjusting the yield down and it’s because they looked at crops in July.

Dah I said it was a average crop.

Dry and hail
Is taking crops every day.

Hail in Iowa took crop down quite a bit. 14 million acres damaged.

They have wheat down a bit and barley less seeded with heat and early harvest yield down.

Oats still good.

Lentils still holding peas down

Canola they still think the jury is out and not sure if heat took yield.

Really any day over 28 the plants don’t pod.

Again show me a 12/10 crop I haven’t seen one yet.

Early yields in our area for wheat yes wheat and peas are lower than last year.

Sask you’ve been doing a great job posting regularly your crop report, again great job!

Every industry has an electronic paper or video trail of every aspect of transactions except agriculture.

Blows my mind that some of you guys are out combing already. Still doing first cut hay here and some grain silage has just started.

Still chopping clover and it’s running 10+ ton/acre which is a pleasant surprise.


Flipping rained on raked hay. I need to find contacts tinted green for the cows this winter since the hay is black and brown mostly this year after repeated washings.



Every bale was tough and ugly except for 80 pretty ones made on a tired old field. Most fields were cut too late to get a second cut so they’ll get grazed if fenced.

The corn has finally sprouted some legs after a few warm days. Should get a few more warm ones coming up this week to.

That’s a five foot tall panel and last year it was 9 feet already. Expectations are very low currently. Last year the cobs were very immature and this year I doubt it’ll even put any out.

At least the pasture is doing great. 🍀

There should be hail included in crop insurance as it was and not deducted from your crop claim either. Another improvement of crop insurance???

Some wheat coming off at the top of the valley north side and yep its 15.9 protein and number one and yep the yield is not even close to last year. Sask ag and food keep telling the world its a big huge crop. HEat takes grain.

Good morning all.

We had a hail storm come through in our area on July 29 th. I had a 25 bpa pea crop ( plus/minus ) that was taken down to about 10-11 , just finished peas 2 days ago. Neighbor 1 mile west where storm didn't hit, his peas were going 25-30. Really disheartening when everyone else is getting a good yield and you are not. However I did have hail insurance so I had my ass covered. adjuster was out last Friday and had the peas adjusted at 54 %. Ok I can accept that , and I did. The durum and triticale that were seeded on either side of the peas were 14-16 % damage. This reminded me of 2002 and the eighties, when you would combine all day and get a 10-15 bu crop.

This year I had seeded peas last ,but next spring I think they will get done first. If it doesn't rain at the right time , any crop will suffer. On a better note , my triticale ,barley and durum look pretty good, at least considering we had 4 inches of rain since spring thaw. In April we had one tenth of measurable rain, last year was one and a half inches ! that makes a difference on the hay crop also , which was about one third of a good year for this area. thank god for green feed.

there isn't going to be too many bin busters in this area , too dry for too long between rains and waaayyy too much wind .

hope the rest of you guys have better luck.
