Friday Crop Report on a Thursday!

[Partners]

Some crops look ok.
Some are brutal..
Canola north of foam lake should make 10 b/a.
Varies from mile to mile.
Neighbor who got 2.5 inches was spraying his bly yesterday.
Best investment this yr was getting AC in the house..
Love it..

7/10ths of rain last 3 days. Maybe itll help fill the paltry stand tests there?

It's so damned dry that I scratched the surface on some stuff here thre other day and rain only made it down about an inch. I doubt it does much good as those roots haven't been dragging up moisture for going on 3-4 weeks.

Peas here are putting 2, and sometimes 3 in a pod. Plenty of cooked plants with no pods whatsoever. Yield guess? There might be one or two 15bu crops in the neighborhood, but rest are going to be below 10.

Cereals are in serious distress. Recent rain will *hopefully* help to fill or plump up what remains. If an inch shows up in next 10 days, there may be a couple 17-20s cut. If no rain theres going to be alot below 15.

Oilseeds are unmitigated garbage. Most if not all will be below 15. Alot will be below 10.

Forage... lots of guys estimating they're going to be looking for 2/3rds of their feed requirements. And that assumes regular start and finish dates for feeding. Cows are all in low spots that held water this spring eating the last few blades of green grass. Nearly all sloughs are dry, and dugouts are LOW!

Alot of low hanging heads around town!

I've noticed quite a few fields of canola that should be getting a shot of 24D asap.

Hate to use the word average.
In general, depending on weather in next month, as of today, we will be just over our coverages.
Told my banker this am, seen it before, every low cycle we stop spending a little too late LoL.
Young guys laugh when I tell them I used to use baler twine and binder wire instead of zip ties. They might see it yet.
Hoping fert goes down by winter.

21 MMT ? , better than last year ?
What a sick joke
After this next dry windy heat blast she might be 5MMT , down from 11 where it probably is right now
Why aren’t these loudmouths made to explain ??

By the end of next week with no rain in the forecast and temperatures in the upper 20’s a lot of us will be hoping for hail. We have had 4” of rain to date with the last one .4” on June 19th, all cereals headed out and canola in full bloom, crop going backwards every day. Will be interesting to see if the early seeders fair better than the late seeders or those that had to reseed their canola.

There are some $85/acre fields rented from the largest Saskatchewan land Barron that are looking pretty bleak. They will lucky to get enough out of it to pay the rent.

Drove to Dafoe, sk and there are alot of garbage crops along the way.

Cereals burning up. Lots of barley that looks very poor. Significant burn outs and spots, sometimes fairly expansive, where heads aren't even going to make it out of the boot. Some crops cooking without even making the flag!

Canola though... I caught myself numerous times muttering to myself, "o my god," "wow"(not the good kind of wow), and alot of, "that crop's phucked,"

Thin, shitty stands. Alot of places where it just bolted and significant chunks of fields have that dark golden flower color, or even worse white. There wasn't a single field along the way to get excited about. A few that were *ok* considering the year, but not a single hummer.

One thing that is a real problem is bly foxtail this yr.
To cold at seeding time to spray it.
Now its visible on alot of cereal fields..

Hail? That would require moisture to fall out the sky.

Neighbour today is looking for bids to cut his barley for feed. Wheat prob not far behind
