Friday Crop Report on a Thursday!

[furrowtickler]

You in a very lucky area to have been able to recover Tom 👍



Our Hailed out canola tried to recover , looked very decent by mid July but it got burnt out like all the other canola here last weekend.
It had a chance and was regrowing very fast , but it simply ran out of gas and the three days of 30c and 40-50k winds took it out last weekend.
Much the same for everyone here that got hit on June 25 th .
The irony is , now we got a few rains , nothing significant but I guess it may help fill whatever May be there .
First seeded Wheat will be ready for the swather or pre harvest here within a week .
Wish I had a 50 ft swather this year. Cereals are very uneven.
Will leave most as long as possible to squeeze out as much yield as possible from the low areas.

The irony is , now we got a few rains ,

That map is very telling, areas that squeaked through on lucky rains earlier in the season are now in a moisture deficit as things finish off.

I see some durum turning prematurely here now. Even some of the canola out of bloom for a week now you can see some brownish tinge in color out there.

We were visiting your neighbors on Sunday. I was amazed at how green it was, and how good the crops and pastures looked, especially after the desperate start. Turns out you've had considerably more rain than my area, and that is rare. How big is the area? I know it got worse in a hurry going south and east from there.

Realistically the area isn’t that large. It would be from where you were east roughly 8 miles to the red deer river and maybe 5-6 miles wide from north to south. As you get about 8-10 miles south of me rainfall amounts certainly do decrease. As I have said before the Big Valley, Rumsey, Byemore areas are very dry. They have received rainfall recently but are still very dry. I get lots of parts in Stettler, crops out that way certainly have improved a great deal, as have the crops on the way to Red Deer. What were your thoughts on the crops on the way out to our area?

We came in the opposite way, from drumheller to rumsey Big valley. My thoughts are that everything south and east of you was very depressing.
Between your area and red deer, it almost looked like excess rain had done more permanent damage than the earlier dry head. Lots of drown outs. Whereas the hilltops that were too dry had since filled in to make two separate crops.

Just came back from trip halkirk consort south to foremost to pincher creek and back to Halkirk. I know we are the best of all that area on dryland and ours is below average.Lots of area sub 10bushel an acre,grasshopper galore on hwy 41. Combine were running south of hwy 1 mostly pulses I think.

Went to pick up a tractor and headed west of the farm to long lake. Lipton area is going backwards, dysart has some up and down. Cupar wheat looks good then it drops off

Our last seeded field looks like it is starting to have some issues but missed the rain on that farm.

Sask farmer how do you like the duramax in your yukon,good milage ?

[SASKFARMER]

The new one is back to gas. It just goes down to Florida and stays at our home all winter and then back in the spring and sits. So with Diesel prices higher at the pumps, it was way better to stay gas. Now i have a new 2024 Denali 1 ton coming ill let you know how I like that one.
