Canola 60 bushel swath!!!

[furrowtickler]

I am one hour east of Medicine Hat, north of the # 1 hwy. We had 30 bu/acre of straw and about 15-20 bpa of durum going into the tank. That was summerfallow. Pea stubble , best I did was 14 , most was 11-12. Straw is cleaner at least , not a weed lovers paradise like last year. One or two more inches of rain were needed , when you start off with an empty soil profile.

Much the same in a big area east of here to Stoon and south .

Just a crazy guess ….



Red well below average
Blue average
Green above

In general ?? Minus pockets of good and bad ??

Canola yields 10-15% below crop insurance average in first 5 fields. Later seeded will be worse. NE sask in the green zone.

Well into the green zone here. It looked well above average is doing less than 10 year average.

There’s just a little something about real life experience and weighing the grain as it comes off the field that’s more accurate than satellites.

That's funny. Did you also say that before you let go of the steering wheel on your equipment that is guided by satellites? I'm not getting GPS - I'm more accurate than any satellite. There something about real life experience feeling the wheel in your hands and turning back to see if you were straight on the fence line.

Can you drive equipment straighter than the Satellite guided GPS?

Farmers will have zero input on crop yields until STATSCAN calls in November for a December release. In 2024 or 2025 - there will be no farmer input for production estimates - only satellite derived NDVI.

I'd challenge check off boards to reverse Ag Can's Satellite decision for the farmers you represent; however, I've seen how effective the consensus representation is with the Export Sales Reporting bylaws that were passed. Doesn't anyone have real life experience at those tables?

If you give me your RM - I will tell you what the NDVI index said for canola yield at the end of July - but it won't be until tomorrow. My shift is over for today.

If you don't want to do it publicly - shoot me a PM.

Farm in several RM’s and have had satellite guided equipment since they came out with it and wouldn’t want to ever farm without it.

Just saying what’s being observed in real life vs satellite imagery from JULY.
July is quite awhile ago especially with the late crop in our area.

I’m aware it’s a pretty big world and our little area is nothing in the grand scheme of things.
Just making a comment is all.
Have a great evening.

Don’t think any of us here doubt you Larry
You one of very very few that speaks the truth on many fronts and actually knows what’s going on
Maybe just farmer scepticism on this fancy satellite tech . But reality I think is showing with big crop areas falling short on combine yields in many areas
Some are great for sure , many just not there
And frustrating as hell as inputs continue to skyrocket

[furrowtickler]

Well maybe Chuck would doubt you but that is seriously insignificant …. LOL
