Friday Crop Report on a Thursday!

[Sodbuster]

Caught this guy on camera this afternoon on my crop checking, still has a bit of growing to do before he ends up in someone's deep freeze. Crops still hanging on, 25C today with 40K winds not good for this crop with just over 3" since snow melt. Tomorrow 18C will help, hoping for rain next Tuesday if it materializes.

A change is coming in the weather next Tuesday before the extreme heat event. If rain was ever needed it’s this event. Here’s to rain.

Crop is hanging on thanks to the cooler temps over the past couple of weeks. No rain in most of June and none in July. Heavy flooding rains at the end of May is likely helping but a lot of that water ran into the Carrot River.
Rain is needed soon and don’t see any in the forecast and don’t see a change coming Tuesday but let’s hope it does.

Should finish all fungicides by Sunday and then it’s park the sprayer till fall. Might start road trips next week.

Next week is AG in Motion.

Also bobo our ag minister is so busy travelling to BS conferences around the globe. Last week it was Italy.

Typical liberal western canada has a drought and the minister doesn’t even know where western canada is.

Still curious Saskfarmer, are you able to leave your crop dividers on when spraying canola or do you use crop dividers?
Do you scout for leaf disease before spraying your fungicide or do you just apply it in every field? So far little leaf disease in my barley, I have a few days left to decide if I am going to spray fungicide. After some moisture in the forecast for early next week, long term forecast looks warm and dry. My barley has been the largest beneficiary of the rain we have had as it was seeded last. Neighbour’s early seeded barley has a bunch of new heads in it, so two crops.
Looking at everyone’s canola in the area, regardless of variety there are many blanks but canola still looks very good.

We leave the dividers on and down in all crops except peas, canola is not an issue have found in some instances slow down and let the dividers do their job.

We leave them down for everything except peas , canola never a problem

Certainly not surprised by this.

The above drought map is as of June 30. We are in the severe drought area between Calgary and Edmonton.

It looks like this coming week might produce something, 60% chance most of next week. We have been getting little showers out of nowhere, yesterday a few tenths to 17 mm scattered about. Spotty as a Dalmatian. 😂

[SASKFARMER]

I have someone who checks for me plus I do also scout fields myself. It’s budgeted in already but the crop is wet till afternoon and starts in evening early.

Crop dividers I don’t use anymore we use tram lines the same ones all year and work will start working in fall the lines. Switch each year.

If it really rains next week we’re good till harvest if it doesn’t maybe it won’t matter

Interesting report, they cover Canada and allude to some weather forecast turning much hotter and dryer to conclude the season.

Starts at 14m.

SF those are some nice looking fields. 👍

I’m thinking my youngest has decided which tractor colour he prefers.

Attempting to drink the green koolaid already😉

I don’t have much faith in Sue Martin now , she was extremely bullish a year ago , and very little materialized until just recently in these summer weather events which is typical for July .
Interesting to get her take on things though , one can always take something away even if it’s just one or two Tis bits of info
