Friday Crop Report on a Thursday!

[GALAXIE500]

Good morning all.

NW of Maple Creek where we live , crops that were looking good 2 weeks ago are now in survival mode. Yesterday We saw 43 degrees C at our place ( 109 +/-) F, with a SW wind . No crops like that , nor do I for that matter. On the mercury thermometer , it showed 104 degrees F . Salvage mode is the talk of just about anyone I have talked to in our area, basically hoping we get some seed back and anything after that is good also.
Hay crops on dryland , in a word Dismal. Alfalfa winterkilled in most places on my stuff. I will have less than 25 % of what I need, so we have spoke for some feed already. At least Trudeau won't get any $ this year , like I give him much anyways. LOL !

I remember 1987, 88 , 89 , 90 and 2002. All of them were dry years down here. Baled a lot of crop for feed , and this year will be the same. I would not want to be anyone who has bought $350K land and new air drills and combines the last few years. We have a few of them in our area. They are more gutsy than I am, and I don't hold it against them either. Everyone has their own show to run as they please.

As far as the "experts" who say that western Canada has a good crop on the way , they must not leave the house , because I personally think there ain't no bin busters out there. At least not down here in the south half of this province anyways.

Sorry for the negative crop report everyone, but that is what is happening in our area , but if we get two inches of rain we will harvest something.

Here's Hoping !

On another note, Thank you SF3 for keeping an actual farming thread on this god forsaken hellsite. It's about the only bloody thing I even look at these days on here!

The end is near

Any one who thinks we can achieve a big crop this year is smoking dope or a meth head. We are flowering in high heat and warm nights with a bad wind every day.

Any guy who comes on tv radio or what ever and says it’s a good crop needs be charged if we could. Any one who subscribes to these fools needs to have a serious hard look at their costs and drop idiots like those I described.

But hey
Look at the bright side
This will cure the imaginary fert , glyphosate, chemical shortages

Yea you are correct. Massive demand for Fert in 2022. Soil tests will show you got lots in a drought. Min needed as min was used.

Today looks interesting for storms on the east side we will see what it brews up, warm and jo mosquitos at the lake.

So why do they do crap like this ??
Do they have no clue how crops actually grow ?

It’s reality , and proves that anyone who predicts big crops and record revenues is simply a fool and being paid to lie basically.
Time will show how wrong they are ..... again

Watched that one all morning slide south of us going east .... yup it picked up steam now

[Guest]

Hail , **** yea

[BreadWinner]

Not lucky enough for rain or hail, the great quill lakes pushed it north and left us to our crops to wither another day.

[BreadWinner]

I have come to the conclusion that unless it’s red yellow or purple on the radar you don’t get anything. It’s like the radar picks up moisture in the clouds and it’s showing green and blue, useless radar system.

We had a beautiful morning here. Little thunderstorms going by about 25c with 75% humidity. You could about hear stuff growing.
Unfortunately rain didn't amount to enough to measure but the crop did get about an 8hrs exta to rehydrate and grow somewhat normaly.
Still have a chance for profiatable crop here if we can ring the bell on the thunderstorm lottery but so far we haven't had more than a 5 minute showers all year for a total of about 2.5in.
At anticipated prices won't need spectacular yeilds to maintain some profiability as I am sure you all see. That number is different for everyone.
There are some old sunsetters that will bank money at 22 bu if that's $70k per 1/4.
It's more lottery than ever but there will still be winners and losers at this stage.
Big once in a lifetime opertunity missed for most.
