Good Morning its been a week of extreme heat and we need one more to get this one close to awesome. Total rainfall for the year since May 1 is 12 to 15 in. But still, the June 8 seeded Canola and June 6th Wheat need a week of more heat. Keeps growing. Total seeding for us in the month of May was like 5 or 6 days the rest were wet damp and rainy.
I love the BS with Christia, It maybe wasn't set up but these actors sure know how to play the sheep out east and the media just feeds the fire. Watch Skippy will take his walk in the sand and they are setting her up as a victum. This is her vs Pierre and you know the women will vote for poor little perogie and be screwed again. Lewis should have won and taken her and skippy out.
Ok, the Crop Report.
Sask on a whole will brag how they are ahead of the 5-year average and all is great yields are 50% higher than last year blah blah blah. Well if you had 5 lentils last year and 10 this year what a bumper. Don't get me wrong the east if it gets a decent fall and no frost for another 2 weeks will pull up the yields by huge amounts but we still need time and this is Canada the clock is ticking.
Wheat. Guys have started to shut wheat down in our area very few are swathing as with constant rain every week that just isn't working. We have a half section that is our earliest and poorest it should be ready by next week's crop report. The rest is getting shut down starting today. Wheat will have great yields in our area but I still think I won't break my ultimate goal of 100 for spring wheat. It will average very well across the farm. The last two sections seeded in early June are getting close but need for sure the week. From City to valley zero wheat was harvested.
Lentils are disappointing and water and lentils don't mix. Last time we grew them it was like this year ended up with very poor results. Most are just doing lentils now.
Peas are getting harvested and yields are good on fields that have not had peas for 8 years or more. It should be a rule and Sask pulse should be looking at that instead of pissing away the check-off money that we can't get back. Early fields harvested were the ones that just died at the end.
Barley getting swath that was seeded early and it's a very nice crop and big heads. Later is catching up nice and even if twisted is turning but second growth is coming. No harvesting yet but in 5 hot days it will be coming off.
Flax is starting to change and looks great.
Canary seed is so thick it's not even funny. Lodged and twisted could be interesting.
Canola is just getting sprayed and a few fields swath but very few in our area may be seen one on the 100-mile drive but the big hitter that pours the coals is getting very nice yields, not the 100 bpa but across the board real good. Most are pod shatter in our area no one pisses with the old varieties. Canola across the board will come in at 21.7 mt. Oh wow, it's up from last year, yes it is but again if you had 6 and went to 23 big deal it's up. But if you had 42 and its 65 that's the same 23 so an average of 46 for the province. The crop tour I did shows it's there in a drought I called it and in a drought rainy year ill call it. Prices are nose-diving faster than any other crop because the three buyers can play us. Remember last year the price couldn't go up because the info maybe isn't right we all knew what the crop was and it was shit. This year boom down it's time to **** the producer. If you were brave and locked in huge production and achieved that you are a big winner congratulations. The rest that got burnt last year are still licking their wounds.
Ok, ill say it, rain makes grain when it comes like this year an inch a week is like irrigation. May we were light compared to June July and August rains. Now excess rain makes mud and mud is a dud.
One note frost free till the 16th on Sept would be just great for the east and Manitoba. Drew has us till maybe the 12th so we are sliding for the home plate will we make it? Crops seeded later always are bigger yielding we just need climate change to actually happen and give us a nice open fall. We still farm in the northern fringe and WINTER IS COMING.
So for us, we are at 6.4% harvested and I would say that's the east side in general. The West side is like done in some locations.
Have a great harvest week and be safe.
TAKE CARE.
