Friday Crop Report on a Thursday!

[Sheepwheat]

Nice map chuck yes that area looks ok but canola and anything above 28 C doesn't make seeds. Have a great day. Normal hot dry summer nothing new we had it in the 80s the 60s and 30s .

Were in another cycle not one i like but were in one.

But this year the heat is earlier right? Late crops here are going to benefit because they are getting this heat before the rapid growth, bolting, heading etc. When the heat normally STARTS in July, after a usually wet June, early crops can escape the heat to an extent by being further along. But this year it’s all screwed up.

Near Winnipeg canola is incredibly variable. Some blooming nicely, but many fields have very small plants that have not canopied very well and are bolting. Lots of very thin stands. Lots of flea beetle damage along the edges of fields.

Wheat is heading out but the tops of the heads are turning white in some fields.

Some corn looks quite good, but others are looking thin with spiky leaves.

Golf course at Elm Creek has stopped watering fairways due to dugout running low.

This map tells part of the story of this years crop prospects.

That map about as accurate as the last one that Larry put up to show how far out of touch it was

Late crops here are near dead because the root systems were not adequate enough to handle the conditions these past 4 days . It very very evident today .

34 degrees at 12.20 headed for 39. Just listened to farm report where the lady was trying
To put a brave face on the canola crop. Also 93% of the US hard red is under drought ,we are slightly
Better than the pics above in the light land , but not much, good land still has some potential but.really do not want to look tomorrow

Boy this forum is almost a joke, most of Canada farms are a week away from a complete disaster. I don’t think people realize how bad this could be to the farming and Canadian economy if it does not cool down and rain. I know guys that have almost contracted all of their 2021 production, if they don’t get bushels the buyouts will bankrupt them. This is way more serious than any covid crap that is dominating this forum.

No kidding, from what the crop insurance claim this could be, the unplayable input bills, cash advances, those are just a few very basic things at the surface. Along with as you said prepriced grain. Man this is setting up nasty. Society should be concerned. At least they should have a clue. I don’t think they do. Which will make this a shocker.

If it’s a farm here or there, or a little pocket that struggles is one thing. But this sucker is widespread devastation. Last time this happened, a bag of chips was probably 30 cents. A combine worth 50 000. Land payments 20 buck an acre.

“And the band played on” ? Comes to mind

It’s over and the buyouts will be astounding
“ force majeure ”

No I Suppose that only works for the other side ?
Chuck and his gang will find out what ag was contributing
