Friday Crop Report on a Thursday!

[TASFarms]

Humidity over 75% might create some fuz. I think how dry it’s been and it would have to be days above 75% humidity. Wouldn’t that just suck to have high fuz.

Planes going hard around here. Fungicide on peas, lentils, wheat. Weather can change on a dime, that we’ve seen many times before.

[furrowtickler]

Could be fungicides , grasshoppers or these .....

[bucket]

The trick will be who will cover them
Justin Solutions, Gars , even crop insurance could be in tough shape after this year . Especially the first two .... they tend to be insuring the 50,000 ac plus club .
I wonder how deep their pockets are after this year

If governments bail out the private insurers that should change the agristability rules on income again.

They are using that as a marketing gimic to get customers....but ...if gars and just solutions need government help that should put them in the same boat as crop insurance payments with respect to agristability.

Planes flying here this morning
3/10 rain in a month of dry weather , my guess is midge

Wheat is just heading out here, lentils 2 weeks from flower. So not much spraying here yet.

But my neighbor did spray something on his freshly bolted canola. Some heat blast snake oil perhaps?

[SASKFARMER]

Some sprayed ReLeaf for the heat. Yea you can't make this shit up.

It's a major week in plant development in Western Canada and rain is the only thing that's needed at this point.

Rain makes grain.

[SASKFARMER]

1/10 of a 1/10 out of today's rain so that puts us at officially 4 inches since spring. and one inch since June 1 which was three weeks ago.

WE ARE getting CLOSE TO BEING ****ED>

[Robertbarlage]

So since we pay a carbon tax to change the weather can I sue the climate cult for not making it rain?

I struggle to understand why the government even agreed to excluding those pay outs from agristability. Does anyone know why?

Friends in low places ..... Garth Brooks
The same kind irrigation buddies me thinks

[SASKFARMER]

You actually would think it should rain but it won’t.

Crop tour Regina to Calgary. Crops look good all the way past MJ on the heavier land, further west things look bad. Lots of canola experiments where it shouldnt be grown. Foot high, thin bolting, blasted. I doubt some of this will even be harvested. Some wheat cooked, no hay. This is all the way to just east of Calgary. Have never seen such poor canola crops in that SE Calgary area. Wheat hanging on better closer in to the city.

So has anyone done a broad enough crop tour to appreciate how wide spread the irreversible damage is ( or isn't)?

[Sodbuster]

My daughter travelled from Wainwright Alberta to Wakaw last weekend and said we have a bumper crop compared to what she saw in her travels. At this point if it does decide to rain in the next week we might be able to squeeze 60% of normal with timely rains till maturity otherwise combines will be running early August without.
