SE Sask storms

The crop damage from the drought is huge and widespread, 75% of total acres could be looking at next to no production. The trade has not picked up on this yet but I think next week the shit will hit the fan. I’m not sure what the implications are of such a huge and unseen event. The crop insurance payouts will cost many many millions and will not be near enough to cover the expenses.

The trade in canola has a lot of traders taking notice, up $40 tonight and I believe $100 in the last 3 trading days. Still no rain in the forecast and temperatures in the low 30’s for the end of the week.

I’m pretty sure it translates into, two and a half inches at Markinch Saskatchewan.

That is a game ending- nail in the coffin- shitty forecast Larry, I think we better stop looking at the crops and go watch our girls play ball instead.

I agree... i looked at Saskatoon, Outlook, Hanley, Watrous, Saskatoon on Friday
Hutz at Blackstrap will combine on irrigation = that's the only sure bet.
Anything would be better than looking at crops and forecasts right now...
2 weeks to Girl's Provincials - my daughter forgot how to pitch during COVID... lol
I don't know if she has enough time to get it back ...

I honestly don’t think even in 2002 the canola ran up in early July
They have taken notice for sure because they know they had a way over exaggerated supply from last year and got caught with their pants at their ankles now

For us 2002 was dryer earlier, this year we had a couple good rains in May and June but the high temperatures and wind sucked out any available moisture quickly. Hoping for a bit of moisture to salvage what’s left. Wish some of today’s SE weather had hit us, rain or hail.

I’m losing my mind and quit watching the radar a hour ago and will find out tomorrow morning, right now sick

we have no radar to watch

Looking at the forecast for my area, no change, basically the same for all of western Canada. Where does the price appreciation end and will it hold through harvest?

[fjlip]

Once it turns to wet, could rain all harvest...or snow in Sept.

[SASKFARMER]

FLIP you know that's what's going to happen.

ill predict this next heatwave will break down after the damage is done then it will start raining and be wet and soggy all fall till freeze up.
