Friday Crop Report on a Thursday!

[goalieguy847]

Over here in northern central alberta things are progressing nicely but canola yields are wayyyyy lower than expected. Big heavy crops that looked like 50-60 are 30-40. Heat did alot more damage than people thought. Wheat yields are good but nothing incredible.
Hahhaha i like that post about statscan not needing to call about yields because all the info is right here..
I very much agree. But mainly.. all of your yield data ( climate fieldview, deere.etc) gets sold to the grain companies. They have a better idea of yields in the area than we do.

WE ARE OUR OWN WORST ENEMY.

30% done here.
Peas good average for year.
Pleased with oats as a first time.
Wheat decent average so far but some has high ergot. Canola will just be average.

Good morning the harvest is on.

Canola is turning and if guys are swathing it is go go go. Lots have started to shut Canola down and its changing very fast almost to fast. Early yields are not out yet no one has started combining Canola in the strip from Regina to Melville.

Also one correction after getting some yield data on the canola on the west side. 20.9 mt now and lots are screwing up with swathing to green and the heat will shrink lots of yields.

Canola is turning faster than any year I've ever seen. I wouldn't criticize anyone for swathing too early,,, because if you wait 36 hours, it might be too ripe! Ya, I get if you swath early you will get smaller seed.
If you open the ripe standing pods that usually have those big jumbo seeds,,, well this year the seeds are avg at best, many small seeds in ripe standing pods. It's ripening way too fast. Canola yield is not going to be anywhere, where many thought. Hold tight with your sales.

Exactly right. Things look better than the end result this year. Too hot for some crops

Also noticing the pods are not full.

jazz it’s to dry in some areas to work

Come south between 6 and 33. Different world. All the durum was seeded first week in June. 5 day swathed durum after a bunch of hot days was still testing 15 yesterday.

hey it’s easy don’t deliver **** them with their attitude.
$8.42 dollar drop since the high. all on the buyers betting on a big crop and ****ing farmers with the billshit harvest pressure.
take the cash advance bin it and **** them.

Dry down has been TOO fast, needs a cooler 2 weeks not a low humidity BLAST furnace. Standing will make no diff. Late stuff if no frost might be better. Every seed is smaller= less yields. Millions $$ lost.

Harvest just getting going in this area, 80% of our barley done, yields in the 80’s? Plugged up both combines last night in green barley straw, still pulling straw out of our 9230 this morning. We’ve only done 10% of our wheat, sprayed the last 5 quarters yesterday. 60% of our oats is off, yields so far a average at about 140. Canola 60% swathed with 40% left that should of been done yesterday. Been down one swather for 3 days now, needing a O-ring that no Macdon dealers stock so still waiting for it to be shipped from Winnipeg. Hypower and Peerless have nothing to match up. Other than that everything is just peachy.

Saw a guy buying a 3/4in hydraulic fitting so he could get the o-ring.

Crazy times.

[SASKFARMER]

just sunk the sprayer fun times of course by the grid for all to see.
