    We are almost the same area and there is standing canola everywhere I look.
    I swathed all my canola and have 30% of it off. The rest of mine was testing 12 this afternoon.
    Yes it’s amazing
    15 miles and it’s a different world
    You sure got nailed with the water this spring
    Know the feeling
    Hope you get it
    Been there so often
    Pretty disheartening

      Been there, done that, have the destroyed equipment to prove it. Year after year.

      Roll all the cereals because scraping them off the ground due to snow and or rain is just par for the course. There have been a few times I wished we had rolled the canola too. Don't

        Mega bushels priced at 18 dollars.
        So short term is full..
        Noticed a lot of canola sitting in bags and guys done and not moving it. Is it all pre contracted, who knows, but no apparent rush to haul it in.

            Read that too. Seen it with my own eyes. Reports coming in from areas not far away on ground better than mine in the 30’s. That $900 per bag canola seed did no better than the cheap stuff. Been that way last 3+ years. Parasites better realize flax and cereals are penciling out just as good and less risk. Cinderella is old grumpy and expects more than she deserves. Still figure if all the expected crush capacity comes to fruition we won’t be able to satisfy that let alone export. Throw in fertilizer reduction bs and disease pressure and we will be importing the crap.

              Anecdotally, before harvest there was a real shortage of grain bins at any price. Yet a few days ago I was told that due to the disappointing yields, there's lots of grain bins available now. This is central Alberta, anything that wasn't drowned out or hailed out looked tremendous as of middle of July. I expected many of the areas west of highway 2 to be disappointing with all of the excess rain, but on paper at least, it was an ideal year east of highway 2. I would have thought that with that much rain in june, most areas could survive a period of hot and dry. I know I am certainly grateful that it finally quit raining and turned 30 above. Our crops were so far behind from the lack of heat in June that I thought they never would finish.

                Our farm Down to 15% canola left finish Tuesday]... no surprises... just like WiltonRanch[60bu is under 40]... the chances of upward volatility in Canola prices is decreasing exponentially... early buy programs for inputs... high interest costs... decent movement of grains, will demand hold up? End users have low stocks... the only saving grace... plus supply chain delivery risks encourage refilling stocks...... should keep movement fluid /demand decent...

                  Talked with a retailer yesterday he told me their canola seed sales are up 150k from last yr already.
                  My eyes nearly popped out of my head.

                  Fert and seed at record cost and selling like it’s free.

                  The canola must all be paid upfront the second you put your order in.

                  Not sure where all the excitement is this time of the yr.
