Friday Crop Report on a Thursday!

[helmsdale]

Helmsdale was actually the name of a long since defunct one room school district. The close towns are oyen, cereal and acadia valley.

Named after a town in the Scottish highlands.

First pic at wakaw is a field of ours on the right. Canola was just poking out of ground. Still hail in the field this morning. Will have to wait a few days to assess. 2.5" of rain came with it. At my yard, 6 miles south of pic was barely 1/2" of rain.

That really sucks , going to be tough on that canola for sure .
Cereals and peas seems to shake that off
We have some canola struggling a bit after just a 1 inch heavy quick rain in our gumbo areas

Something alluring to the sweet and brutal beauty of that country throughout what you mentioned. Something how you go south of Camrose and the climate changes or east far enough of QE2 and same sort of change. The Alberta highway system runs on a nw angle so in order for us in nw Sask to travel to Calgary there isn’t a real direct route that’s quick. Hauling horses to Calgary stampede we’d take routes through that country as we could travel slower and easier for the horses. Seen a lot of that country.

Our seeding in Gumbo Flats is fait a complete, with 15 acres left for the ducks. Now 3/4 of old lake bottom north of 48 and 1000 acres over in the Teddy Bear Hills for fun. Looks like 3/10 inch of rain today and rising. That’ll start that scratched-in Canoly. We heard Wawota got 2 inches last night and still drizzling. We don’t need that, thanx. Good Luck All our AV friends, get er in and go fishing. 👍

[SASKFARMER]

Go fishing oh that's a good idea I need to do it right after seeding is done next Sunday.

6/10 so far today not what I wanted but we will have to take it.

Farming is so easy anyone can do it.

[furrowtickler]

Just awesome……


Took out all rain and added in a touch of frost …. Why not eh ?

[furrowtickler]

Be no spraying peas for a week that’s for sure

[Sheepwheat]

Big progress the last day or two Way up to 9 out of 72 quarters done on the way to town. So 12.5% seeded. More like slimed in. Rained overnight and today. Dunno how much yet, it’s not like it matters.

The other thread taking of and showing pics of emerged crops is bizarre to see. Glad for those with emerged crops.

Went to check my soon to be hayland on Friday. Got stuck. As one friend said. Seeding conditions are awesome. ON THE HILLS!

[SASKFARMER]

3/4 of an inch now and it's a slow rain. Not needed but still have to take it. We will start mudding again Wednesday I think.

Will finish a week later than last year at this rate.

[Sodbuster]

Forecast for next week is the best we’ve seen all spring, other than the wind and the high temperatures unless that 1mm for Thursday ends up more. Should finish up Thursday if forecast stays true.

If you traveled on the secondary highway #570 you were very close. You would have also passed the calgary stampede horse ranch at the intersection of the 570 and 36.

None worse than Wadena area...just awful wet, water, ruts...

Actually nobody posting is happy? Hail, flood, mud, potholes, dry, hard, dusty...Where is the happy place?

One more week till CI deadlines start.

That’s by Hanna isn’t it. One trip I remember the sign for the ranch. Seemed every time we’d turn south off 16 at Lavoy elevator onto 36 and down to Hanna. From there it could either be south or west and down south from there. Dad always tried to avoid the “crazy traffic”. My personal favourite is hwy 619 from Alberta border to Viking and to camrose and either to wetaskawin then down to Joffre and over to QE2. So many ways to get there and so many cool places to see.

[SASKFARMER]

To the West of Me 1.3 inches

Regina less than 1/2 a tenth

Our Farm may as well say 3/4 of an inch over whole-farm again.

Wet wet and really wet.

The grass I planted is growing so well.

The grain I planted is gone in some spots.

Fun Times farming.
