The harvest moves on in our area. We will hit 83% done tonight. South of the valley it's basically done. Rain this week will add up to 1/3 of an inch or higher. Soil building for 2021 is on its way because the gas tank was empty. Spit or showered yesterday every once and a while but the hurricane dried it fast.
The further north of town I harvest the better the Yields. Kind of fun now harvesting, but That one extra rain or two made a difference.
So here we go its an easy report.
HRS is almost all done and the later stuff they are now calling a two because the showers have taken some colour. With the northern crop better the HRS will turn out to be just a little below average for us. South will still be Below by about 20 to 30%. Yes, its no bumper.
Barley is all harvested except a few fields, early went malt. Yields are down across the board by about the same as wheat.
Oats harvest is done and one complaint was lighter oats. Yields down.
Flax is mostly done and yields are down.
Peas and lentil harvest was done a long time ago and yields were just about normal for our area on the early stuff.
Canola is the crop that isn't living up to its end of the expensive bargain. The seed is too costly and when you don't get rain you don't get the big bushels to cover the costs. Yea it made something but the bin buster it isn't. Again south the further I went the worse the yields as you move north the better. So yes Canola will be lower production in 2020. Funny the Crop advisors from Manitoba are saying the same. Just good old Sask cant figure it out.
Basically I called it an average at best Provincialy wide before harvest. Some small areas had very good results. But big hitter areas for Wheat and Canola were either very little rain or to much rain and flooded out the land.
2021 We need some more gas for the tank or Zero people will be talking about a bumper in 2021.
Have a great day I might be done before thanksgiving. Nah mother nature will not allow that.
