Cinderella

This is my earliest seeded. Couple weeks ago you couldn’t see for thistles.

In this general area, and I am talking a big area, canola is 100% excellent, and 100% late. I’ve never driven 600km and seen zero poor crops in my life. Until this year. I think some areas maybe need a shot of rain more than others, and it could in theory go backwards if it doesn’t rain one more time, but this general east central to northeast region has a really, really big crop on the way. Even on my trip to Saskatoon, the crops almost all looked good. Might need a rain further west closer to the city, but solid crops all the way.

But we need a frost free september. None is blooming yet. At least close to home. Furthest along is just poking first flower. Most is bolting. In mid July.

Crops all look great.
Just ignore the calendar.

I’d say we’re on schedule and heat is pushing things along now. Even square baled around yard which usually do the last but it cured fast and was the right stuff to put in a square for the horses. Baler older than me and my sons age combined and misses odd string. Great teacher of patience for my red headed child. It was like that when I was his age. He’s 10 and a perfectionist so when things don’t go just so he’s pissed. Even got up early to make us breakfast but had pan too hot and burned everything which he cleaned up and threw out never to mention to wife and I. She figured he tried for an hour before he said screw it. He’s one of a kind and out cutting hay now.

Looking good if the hail stays away!

For sure. I’d say we’re further ahead and on time like we should be. There’s no excuse to be behind if everything falls in place here. Outside of a few times we get just enough moisture and lots of heat in the summer to make decent grades and okay yields.

Warm temps are pushing things along decent here
Canola podding well for now


Corn growing close to 6 in / day


Will need rain here soon to sustain crop growth
