Early yields?

[SWFarmer]

Just started on some large green lentils and they are running about 14 bu/ acre. This field only got 1.6 inches, so they should start to get a bit better.

How large are the large greens?

They only vegetate, here.

Now, soybeans still have a chance, if that elusive August rain would materialize.

[the big wheel]

Peas appraised at 2 some 6 and combined 2 fields at 8.
Barley appraised at 5,11 and 16 but written off
Too low to even cut. One field combined at 18 gross but
After weight will not even be that.
Canola where it even made seeds they are smaller than
Pepper And not even dried down yet
Canary not appraised yet but it will be wrote off
Next to No seeds and all white they want to wait
In case we get rain. Lmao.

Winter wheat here is 36-38 in south central mb, hrs what we have done looks like it’s gonna be in the same range, canolas finished less then 10 bu acre, today marks 51 days strait without rain.

The barley I think maybe hurt the most. Haven’t heard one person talk up their barley crop. Better stock up on beer now...sounds like I’m going to need it when the combine hits the field.

19 mmt of canola .......

Why aren’t those assholes made to explain that idiot prediction??

[SASKFARMER]

Because they are cut from the same cloth as Trudeau and math isn’t there strong point Bullshit is

I suspect at best, that whomever is actually paying hard currency for this information, deems this information to be very reliable, or at worst, finds this sort of dare i say, "fake news", to be very valuable.

Here’s my opinion for what its worth.

Obviously, we as farmers know the situation out there.
Yes, there are “small” pockets where the crop is mediocre at best. I personally think it’s time we stop talking about it. We all want high prices all the time, this year is no exception with the way things have played out. It’s like asking for the same Christmas gift over and over.

Grain companies and the trade know what has happened and will down play it till the bitter end.
Just because guys come on and say yields of 6-7 isn’t going to put the prices up. The bitching and bellyaching won’t do much to change the mind of the buyers.

They know there are bills to pay and they have to be paid their yr end bonuses. If you can lock the bins do so, only haul out to pay bills and leave the rest.
Don’t get me wrong I want to make money too, breaking even isn’t part of the game. But I think prices will take care of themselves. I could take pics all day of the catastrophic crops that are being cut for feed and post till I’m blue in my face. At the end we have no control of prices.

Whatever I’m going to get I will be more than thankful, I have friends who won’t cut anything. I feel bad for them, they have worked hard and spent like everyone else.

I hope I haven’t offended anyone in my rant!!

Over and out

Good point , in a world where media and certain people even on here are continually screaming about misinformation, 19 mmt of canola is one of the worst forms of misinformation in decades .

Our estimates are no more or less accurate… what is harvested and is marketable is what counts.
We need to encourage our producer groups to have a field harvest tour just like Wheat growers just did State side.
Furthermore a good to excellent, fair, poor crop ratings system in Canada (with creditable estimates like USDA does) would be helpful to cause accountability for those making production estimates.

Those of us on the ground proofing our production estimates are no more or less right… until the harvest is complete and accurately determined like Crop Insurance completes.

Cheers

It's called an open and transparent market in the states for a reason...

All the Ritz cheerleaders never understood what that meant exactly...I think they have almost figured it out in the last year or two.

American farmers have an effective lobby as well...Canadians are going to need one sooner than later.
