Storms ?

[furrowtickler]

We caught a shower on Saturday morning then the tail end of those storms early this morning around 3 am . Probably 3/10 or so
Will help fill but the damage is done .
Same as Bucket , we had a beauty crop coming but it ran out of gas at critical times . It would run out of moisture then get hit with 3 days heat , then a shower , then repeat, happens about 4 times since end of June .
Harvest won’t be as early as some think here as the 10% low spot areas are normal crop , the other will be dried , thinned out and ripe shortly
Will have to wait for those low areas cause unfortunately that’s where 50% of the yield will come from .
Not as bad as 2021 , but close , maybe 10-15% better . Will be 50% below last year still

No rain here... were predicting 12mm...

Same here Tom,

we were forecast 15mm today and 10 for tomorrow, now zero, zilch, nada... just more sun and heat!

last rain of significance, May 12th. Any of the light showers we've received since then, were equivalent to a heavy dew, and hardly settled the dust.

Every time I check forecast....chances for the day decreased, always 2-3 days away?

For some unknown reason, wheat and others grains are down today.

Looks like end of season bushel steal for Canada is on, even for the guys who had some kind of crop.

Bins fcking locked.

Increasing volatility… difficult to understand markets…

Crop ratings down 10-15% from last year… yet projected yields higher…

New routes for Ukraine grain over land to alternative ports…

Last drought monitor:


Rain for the next week…


Forecast for cooler August…
Dry land in southern Alberta… Toasted… many saying not worth harvesting…
Blessings and Prayers

Longer range:





Black oil… over $80 WTI… plus consumption up significantly… while Canadian and US production dropping…

Volatility is virtually guaranteed…

Blessings and Prayers

Big splash ateound Balgonie and Pilot Butte yesterday- some rain gauges showing 2 inches to 2.8. Some reports of a bit of dime size hail included.

We’re about 2 weeks from harvest and forecast for next week is 6 weeks to late for us. Seen this forecast earlier this year but always failed to materialize, hoping after that it can stay dry until harvest is over. After that it can rain buckets until freeze up.

Ya same here , Murphy’s law .
Cereals close , 80% ripe, we were going to swath a field or two of wheat , will have to wait now .
Will have some bleached wheat now
Mother Nature been very cruel, hopefully not like 2018 .
