Starting north of Tisdale through Saskatoon and then west as far as Meota. Then angled south west all the way to Calgary.
Small pockets of the best canola looked like it might make 30 and that was around Meota and southwest of Battleford towards Unity. Huge areas with canola that is blasted in both Saskatchewan and Alberta might range from 0-15 with some of the worst in the Saskatoon area. No pastures looked decent and really no green grass anywhere.
One thing that did stand out on this trip is how clean and neat all the fields looked. I hardly saw any wild oats or thistle in any fields anywhere. A little kochia around Saskatoon in the worst drought areas.
Fertility looked really good in all areas also. The crop is short from lack of rain but nothing looked deficient from lack of fertilizer.
From what I saw farmers did an excellent job on a very difficult year.
Working overtime getting all that equity into cash.

Most years you can get back double the bees you put out and you can sell those extra bees.
Bee prices can range from almost nothing up to $130.00 a gallon depending on demand.
10,000 bees is a gallon.Last edited by seldomseen; Jul 24, 2021, 19:12.

Pollinators only
They live for 6 weeks
Then we harvest their cocoons , incubate them about June 8th
Put bees out july 1st , usually double bees , maybe 4 x this year?
Extra cocoons get sold to the US , anywhere from SFA to $125 per gallon (10000) bees , in my time

Some will be 100% damage .
Wheat crop just south of Cochin completely mowed down .
Damage in a large swath from SW of Delmas all the way to spiritwood.
On way to Red Deer tonight
Can sure see where that one big rain did go in early June . SW of Battleford had 2.5 in plus in areas , we had 1.5 or so and east of Battleford had .5 or less
Shows up huge now .
Macklin to Provost is in tough shape
Oh and 90% fields have excellent weed control
