Brutal.

A lot of canola in a huge area fields from Kindersly to Saskatoon to Blaine Lake to the Battlefords to Glaslyn to Edam areas ...


Not just a few isolated pockets ...

Obviously not hard to see that is closer to zero than even 20 bpa

Barley in NW sask


South and east of the Battlefords

I have had a number of people reassure me that Northern Saskatchewan is doing much better than the central or southern. Everything I have seen on this site indicates that is wrong. And our travels as far north as the Battlefords looked just as bad as everything we had seen south of there.

Are there pockets of good crops in the north?

The precipitation map doesn't indicate any bright spots:

SCIC be handing out IOU’s after another couple weeks of this BS....

A5 , things were better in pockets here but as time went on most are in the same shape as areas south now

There are pockets of good in the northeast, but they are small and far between. Furrows pics are crazy. There is nothing anything like that anywhere around here.

I have noticed on radar too how the rain seems to follow the water channels. Glad some one else noticed that too. The area around Weyburn and south used to be so dry back when. Hence, ranching was the only option south and west to the border for years. Then Grant Devine’s Rafferty-Alameda went in and we thought, “Good Grief, that thing is going to sit empty.” Not so and the rains seem to get drawn up to the dam from US. Now all those hills south of us are seeded to cereals and even lentils. So, it begs the question, does water draw water?

Absolutely it does
Tobin lake , Codette lake proved that around here over and over
Was a detriment in the wet years tho

Nothing that bad, or nothing that good?

Nothing even close to that bad. Pretty darn solid crop in my small region. Will be guys making a pile of cash this year. I shouldn’t have been a shepherd!

Sounds like your area is the anomaly sheep. This thing is widespread now.

That heat dome is expanding into the US midwest corn and soy acres now.

Oh it’s totally an anomoly. Just like every year pretty much. And it’s small. Very small. As I said in my tale of two barleys thread.

Where is this farming paradise, haha, best kept secret perhaps
