If bins are empty for harvest ?

Old crop durum prices up 30c in the past week. Terminals calling for all movement for old crop. Market telling you something.

The crops need a shot here or potential will start dropping.

some late seeded canola crops could fair well if we get wetter in July but I wouldnt want to take a chance combining in November again. Just about finished me mentally in 2019.

The early canola is bolting with loonie sized leaves. Not too many green cabbaged canola crops here. Very patchy.

Thanks for mentioning there might be hope for the late seeded canola...but it needs a rain....soon as well.

Just made a call about my hayland , might wait til next week to have it written off.

I don’t think people (experts) understand how big an area is either like your situation or just recently froze or both

If fighting against mother nature in November once caused you that much anxiety, then farming in my cold wet short season swamp is definitely not for you.
I'm just grateful if we get any window of opportunity to combine, at any time of year, and atany moisture

Have you been getting enough moisture AF5? Watching the radar it looks like Innisfail / Rocky and Red Deer keep getting some showers. Pretty rough down here, crops are holding on but are thin but lots of grass in hay crops is browning off like I've never seen here.

I hate to say anything, but we are sitting about as close to perfect as is possible. Keep getting regular showers, and a few rain events all spring. It looked desperate back in April though. Seeded corner to corner, and there are only a few very inconsequential yellowish spots from the rains we have had. Went NE a few miles today and was surprised to see a lot of yellow barley. Storms have been very spotty, as I discovered trying to spray.
Missed the big hail the day you got it. Just a few stones here early on, much worse towards Spruce View.

Pastures maybe aren't as lush as on a wet year, and definitely more mature than normal. Good young hay stands look very good, but mature ahead of time, older hay not so great. Dugouts are full, but the drainage ditches mostly haven't ran since snowmelt. Except those that take subsurface water. Can drive anywhere which is a pleasant change.

Before the world reads my post and decides to crash the grain markets, by the time I'm saying things are just right, everyone else is already complaining about a drought, even a few miles away.

Drainage ditches have not had water here for two years. Scary dry.
