Friday Crop Report on a Thursday.

[flea beetle]

I heard crops are getting plowed under by stettler already. Had we not got a rain, we wouldn’t have been far behind. First wheats were burning up and heading out with small heads. We will see how the later crops fare. They are definitely more uneven than the earlier ones.

Let me say this.

Chemical companies and their reps are worse than Trudeau for excuses for not taking responsibility.

Crop insurance should be paying attention.

I just saw this on Twitter written by someone from india. What does Agriville think, is this accurate?

Under ideal weather conditions, the average yield of wheat and barley in the Canadian province of Alberta will reach 60-70% of the average level of recent years. After the prolonged drought, the height of the plants is only 15-17 centimeters.

Very accurate for 70% of western Canada I believe

Herbicide uptake in the smoke zone here has been very poor, many having to spray extra passes.

Ya our herbicides worked extremely well .
Maybe just a weird year with huge variability in timing and soil moisture??
