Friday Crop Report on a Thursday!

[SASKFARMER]

Good morning welcome to welfare canada. In 8 years now 1/3 of our population is struggling to put food on the table and we’re 1.4 trillion in debt.

Elect the slowest kids you went to high school or university with and this is what you get.

Here is the crop report.

This weeks rain fall was 1/2 ior more due to a hail storm Saturday night north of us. Did hit canola fields bad.


Hrs is anywhere from flag to full heading to flowering. Healthy fields everywhere. Not one bad one in district.

Most are spraying a fungicide but lots of stages. Wild oats did slip past some sprays and group resistant is showing up this wet year.



Peas are anywhere from excellent to wow what happened. Disease has strangled some bad on fields pushed for rotation. I have a bad field that was peas 6 years ago. My new seed is on that field and well it’s not doing good.

Flax is starting to bloom.

Barley is all sprayed with fungicides and looking better since it was a dry to us week with only a 1/2 in.


Oats very little so nothing to report.

Lentils are making plants and thick but not sure about seed.

Canola is starting to flower, cabbage or just covering the ground on late fields.

Really nice .



Hay operations are full swing our area will have lots .




That’s it for this week , we need heat and dry for a few days then a shower.

Please post good and bad I did when we were hailed out at days before harvest or dry summers. It’s not climate change it’s weather and farming.



Stay safe and have a good week.

Crop tour north starts this week all the way up to PA.

Grasshoppers?????
Drought????
Flower heat blast???
Should see aster yellows in the canola eventually???

In the North Dakota there would be 3 counties between you and I. And the reporting would be more localized . And the programs would be there to make better decisions.

In this area the temporary electric fences should be going up because only cows will benefit from the crop. Rain will not revive it.

Crops in local area here hit a wall again late last week .
Some hailed stuff coming back , a lot is toast and will either be sprayed out or bailed , especially cereals and some canola that was simply beat to the ground.
An infrared shot of the RM of North Battleford would show the huge area affected. One around June 15 and another around July 1
Will show two major things , that hailstorm and the drought stress damage .
Without a very good rain this week yields will decline fast in 5-7 days

If everything stays as is, with the heat coming. None of the crops around here will pay for the combine to go over them. It is that bad.

Best crops that were lush a week ago are thinning fast and burning the bottom leaves.

[furrowtickler]

Just a rough guess but I would think
1/3 of Sask is toast
1/3 hanging on by a thread and drought damage showing, without significant rain yields will tank
1/3 in good shape for now

I would imagine Alberta be much the same
Manitoba not in great shape overall either by comments on here .

Drought taking its toll and expanding in most western Canada unfortunately

Will be much the same in many areas in 10 days
Very unfortunate, many areas had excellent crops well on their way by June 10 th -15th

Yeah it’s farming buts been a fcked up
Yr weather wise too. El Niño transition likely culprit. There are weather anomalys everywhere.

Had a chance to drive the QE Calgary to Edmonton. Better in this area but barely hanging on. Cereals hold out fairly well. Some canola wrecks and a few good fields. Needs a shot of water like yesterday.

Tomorrow Edmonton back to Regina.

Ps only in a country as fcked up as Canada would people cheer because 11m people just got food stamps for the first time.

Crap insurance should be getting real concerned about now.

In the SW corner from here to Medicine Hat in every direction there is a similar story to tell.

might be worse than 2021 here where I'm at , in places.

Furrow nailed it, we are 25 days now without a single drop.Lush crops shrinking everyday.Asked our farming son if he wanted to go to AIM, his response why bother.Hard on a young farmer to have three years in a row with no rain.On a positive note they had a baby boy saturday,so being new grandparents is very exciting rewarding.Cheers.

In my area of SE Sask we went from wet and late seeding to too dry. One drives a few miles and the crop variance is enormous as spotty thunder showers will keep a crop going and completely miss a nearby field. With the heat we have had, there is poor spots in fields that have had rain as the crop cant get the moisture quick enough before it burns. There is more and more ugly looking canola out there. I have sprayed more for grass hoppers this year since the 80's. Its gonna get worse once all the hay is cut around. I was late checking a late wheat crop that had a neighboring pasture grazed hard nearby and spots were ate to the ground a long way in (all in a few days). This cooler weather is a blessing for us as there is sub soil moisture here but the crop needs to get to it. We are doing some cheap fungicides to cereals but most have cut back on canola fungicides as its hit and miss most years even in wet years.

Just got Drew’s forecast we are going into a dry spell the next 5 to 7 days no rain! Are the roots going down or will it cause issues with shallow roots. Slow heat up we’ll do well. Fast heat up even the garden of eden will turn backwards

[shtferbrains]

Won't be a shortage of fungicides.

Shallow roots, little sub moisture, lush crop, no rain in 2 weeks and hot temps. Crop cooked itself yesterday in front of our eyes. Next year country. Best of luck everyone.
