Good morning this will be quick because I have a hail adjuster coming and we are still spraying fungicides. Almost done.
The weather changed two weeks ago and started to turn dry. Zero this past week and we cant buy a shower now. The crops huge potential is dropping.
Total rainfall for July is 3/10 to 3/4 of an inch total for the year on our three weather stations is 5, 6.7, & 8 inches since May 1.
I did take a drive Regina to BigRiver, PA, Melfort, Tisdale, wadena, Fort and back to Regina. It’s good till valley at Lumsden then goes South rather fast till Davidson, picks up at Saskatoon a bit, drops and issues till valley, nice till Melfort but showing signs of drought, starts dropping off to Tisdale then slowly better all way down to Fort, sweet spot Edgeley. If Sask Ag And Foods Crop Report doesn’t start calling the drought and does a rosy report like last weeks bullshit report I’ll go nuts. Drought has taken over and with the prime time water use on now lots are going backwards. Getting reports from friends on West side that have given up and going to the lake so they don’t have to look at the crop. Big Farmer on radio yesterday west of us and on his 52000 acres it’s dry and failing. Harsh was on Monday and it’s bad over that way. So Sask Ag give a real crop report instead of fluff. Ag In Motion is on next week so suspect it will be fluff. It did rain in dry parts, yea how well does your wife’s plants do when you forgot to water for two weeks and she is coming home on Sunday , will water bring them back or do you buy new ones and try to fool her.
Grain markets probably follow this report because it’s more accurate in all three provinces because of the contributors. Over 11000 views last week.
Crop report July 13 th.
One problem in our area and all are noticing it three dry hot days and wind slowed crop report because we’re shallow roots with so much rain and plant growth stalled. This weeks cool temp are great as roots had time to go down. Dug a trench in yard to new shed on sand ridge for power, hit a rocky patch going to it so dug with hoe down three ft and jumped into the trench. Moist and wet all way down. So yes the plants need this cool week.
Hrs and Durum are still doing great. Most sprayed fungicide and now just a few fields are left to go. Flowering is done on early wheat and it’s starting to fill. Midge to west but most seed midge resistant. Hodge looks impressive from what I see. Starbucks on left, Hodge right.
Barley didn’t like the rain and excess water but has grown through most of the issues and is looking better. Most sprayed fungicides.
Canary seed looks awesome so far.
Flax looking good and full flower.
