Summing up harvest so far is fairly simple, surprise and below expectations.
Peas were under 30 bpa so roughly half of average, hail main culprit.
Barley average mid seventies, so roughly average, hail and dry August hurt the barley.
Wheat average low sixties, so almost average, same as barley hail and dry August. Even the crops without hail damage were less than we thought looking at them. Ergot an issue in some fields as well.
Canola should get to later today. A few guys just starting on canola, will know in a day or two.
Pastures dried up, could use some rain.
