Friday Crop Report on a Thursday.

[blueversi]

Third day now of evening or overnight thunderstorms. Just under inch and half now combined. Will help with seed fill. Canola mostly done or just finishing up flowering around here.

Not sure I’d go that far, damage was done early on it’s far from a bumper crop but yes fortunate to get some moisture for sure. Like always here it could turn things sour if it stays wet when the combine needs to roll.

Yes , I think it was 2018 when it snowed in early September and it stayed a long time
Then wet ground to deal with and flat crops
That was not good at all
Hard on nerves , hard on combines , swathers and the pocket book

Harvest will start next week , lots of crop being pre harvested.
We have wheat ready to swath anytime, seed wheat , will wait till after weekend to let low areas fill as much as possible.
Peas , wheat and barley will be coming off in area by next weekend.
Yields will all be down 40-60% from last year in this area .
Good crops west of here along hiway 16 where the June and early July rains went . They will be 2 weeks yet .

Unfortunate to hear it has been so dry that your crops are ready to combine. We just started silaging yesterday. We are putting Paramount soft white wheat in the pit. Considering the extremely dry start very thankful for the crop. We run a 4640 John Deere on our FHX 300 Case cutter. We are cutting a 19’ swath and are in A1 or 2. Takes a bit of power as a tank of fuel won’t run all day. We run a Jiffy 900 tandem wagon, it fills in 10 minutes. So far so good.

As for our other crops. Most of the canola is done flowering. Some later seeded fields still flowering. Barley certainly ripening in the last week. Most wheat fields have 2 crops and many hilltops in the wheat fields are a bright yellow with volunteer canola, a bit of a mess for sure. Cattle pastures are holding. As I said very thankful.

Sad thing is we cant even get a rally into harvest because the entire US corn and soybean belt is going to get a 3 inch drenching so market thinks their crop is saved.

Canola down more than a buck a bushel in a week.

I should be growing corn, a crop that can apparently take 10 weeks of no rain and then rally back for record yeild.

Grain markets are the biggest joke in the world.

Charts and Rain on drought corn won't give huge yields it's all a joke.

Every year I farm you see how the grain markets reflect **** all and realize its a scam.

How much will get planted in both Russia and Ukraine if you're going to get killed seeding by land mines or planes shooting at you? Plus who is around to seed they would have every young guy in the army.
So BUBBA is driving the tractor.


This week's heat turned a very nice big huge crop into an Average to Below.

You Can't Say F U C K E D yet but it's getting close.

Zero rain equals no Grain.

Combining in the swamp on first of Aug should tell the airheads something
Whoever does Sask rain charts has us as adequate???
3.5” since seeding
Are they that stupid ??????
Wheat crops mature in 85 days ? WTF ?

This all started in the frost years of 2002 and 2004 I phoned in and all I got from everyone is we have to assess the damage. On August 1most crops weren't even close to making seed let alone, -5 from 9 PM till almost 9 Am. No one went out and checked, then in November or January. We had a bad frost.

It's like an Ostrich.

Zero trips traveled by any one who does crop reports in Sask AG or Feds. They are so out to lunch its not even funny.
