Neighbour had insurance 100% write off this morning.
Don’t think my grain is going to fill, 12-15 days from maturity by seeding date, fields are 10% yellow today and changing fast.

Nothing noteworthy since June 9.

Maybe .5" in july spread over 4 or 5 showers.

Started peas today. 6 bushels with an extra bushel of hoppers thrown in for good measure.

Not far away, the yard is just west of Didsbury but have land from here to west of Olds. Lots of the hay crops here burned off in June, straight Timothy like that quarter looked horrible. The further North and West you go it gets better but at home we just missed every shower all year. Best crops is where it hailed June 15th because of the rain but didnt get a drop here. Some good crops North of Olds and have been camping west and it looks a lot better west of Hwy 22 also.

Drove from Red Deer to Banff last Sunday. Big change from Red Deer to Olds . Our area and east is much the same as Olds and south .
Went Home through Calgary to Drumheler back through Stetler . Not much through there , pasture and crop dried up .
South side of Stetler not bad , but then nothing really decent till Wilkie and north to edge of the river valley .
That strip from Wilkie to Battleford will have close to average crops in places , they have had decent moisture at times . But as soon as you go east of 29 and north of river it fades fast .
Pulse crops in this area will start coming off next week.
South of here I am hearing 10- 20 bus peas coming off .
East of here a big area will have near zero of anything

0 in July

Last rain was June 25 and 26 when we had .3 then a follow up rain of .5.

Better crop this year than 88 or 02

Around an inch. But we haven’t had the intense heat, and humidity overall has been strangely high somehow most of the time. Most times the forecast highs weren’t hit, often by six to ten degrees. Had we had the heat and low humidity, we’d be in a much worse spot. Crop wasn’t made on rainfall alone. Snowfall had a big impact too.

Less than 1/2 inch in June. 1.25 inches July 21-24. Not much green left on the wheat. Not many decent pods on the canola. More depressing than shocking how bad the canola looks once you walk out into the field and pull plants. Even the good looking pods aren't filling properly. We averaged a dismal 28 last year, I'd be pretty happy to get there this year.

First week of July we had 1.3 inches and last Sunday we had 3.5 tenths at my house. Neighbours 6 miles west got an inch last Sunday. We are thankful for what we received.

We only live just over 20 mins from Stettler. Wife and I took a drive down by Big Valley(about 30 mins south of Stettler) and yes very dry there. Short crops, no pasture. I was talking to my herbicide retailer who lives just south of Stettler, he had been talking to a farmer from Byemore(a bit south and east of Big Valley) and crop insurance said his barley would yield .6 bushels per acre. Silaging it and getting 1.5 to 2 tons per acre. He also said a farmer from Donalda(30 mins north of Stettler) told him crop insurance said his barley would go 5 bushels per acre. Lots of barley stuck in the boot.
