Good morning all its been a wet week and lots of hail taking great crops now. Moosejaw to Fort then up to Yorkton Swan. Humboldt and all over with rain in some areas 4 inches.
Our total for the year is now over 8 inches. We had 3 up till the beginning of August so the remainder is a builder for 2022 because 2021 is a ****ing dud.
So here is the Crop report.
Harvest has slowed but for our area, it's 25% done. Looked at old photos from other years in 2019 we still wouldn't start for another two weeks so to be at a quarter done tells the shit show we have.
HRS. We have done our hailed out wheat and then moved on and did our seed wheat, Starbuck, for 2022. The hailed out will be below half our normal as the hail knocked seeds out of the head. The Alida did hold color better than the Brandon. Starbucks is yielding 10 bushels more than the areas not hailed out of Alida and Brandon. But from what I am seeing our wheat will yield half our normal yield. HALF.
Durum harvest has started and the same results of spring wheat only thing with the rain now the grade has dropped to a 5 but a 5 still pays very well in a bad year.
Barley is mostly wrapped up in our area and has lots of green lines behind CASE GLEANER NH CLASS AND DEERE. In our case, we swath then picked up lots of loss at pickup and light seeds out the back that with 5 inches of rain did grow. Stuff that is in the swath is ****ed and stuff standing has new growth coming so hard it's not even funny. Look at your stubble and you will see that a shoot is coming off the root. Yep it will be green before we know it.
The yield for barley is the same half normal.
Oats some have been harvested with very poor results for early seeded. The late feed is still green but the rain came a week too late. Stuff in swath is not going to do good at all. The yield looks way over half less.
Flax is turning or ending or just trying to flower again. No harvesting has taken place.
Peas are all off or should be and what's not is in rough shape. Yields were half normal.
Canola is mostly shut down or swath in our area. Lots of guys went back to swathing but mother nature had other ideas with the wind and some swaths did lift. Standing is having a hard time as hail and standing are not a good combination. Whole fields white. Yes, the storm even took out some of the best canola around south of town that is the same as the Indian head stuff. We did take off a semi load of Canola before the last rain event and where it didn't hail it was half our normal yield. This was grown with 3 inches of rain so a little impressed but really not, as it is short thin, and standing because I wouldn't leave in a swath for mother nature to take it. Thick swaths stay in stubble swath on an angle thing don't. So again half normal still better than others and way worse than Indian head. I am sticking with my 12.47 MT crop. Ag Canada better does another satellite yield check and increase it because with the rains the regrowth looks like it might flower on some fields before they are harvested and that way they could fudge the numbers again. Come on peoplekind boots on the groundworks the shit above is just lazy fluff.
Lentils are all off still not much on yield just normal to below a bit.
Pastures are greening up and late green feed might actually make a crop.
Regrowth is sick in fields and could be a problem with a long-drawn-out fall. Can see in some crops that were shut down a month ago and still not harvested greening up with the rain from below.
So the weather looks good for the next 7 days so far this morning have a safe harvest week and talk to your neighbors it is a stressful time.
