Friday Crop Report on a Thursday.

Just listened to Sask Ag they are so happy farmers are harvesting fast. Dah they have nothing to harvest of course it's fast.

Harvest pressure is on boys and girls. Like that has any truth to it.

**** are new grain carts expensive.

Harvest here will be anything but fast. Rained the first -> second week of July here. I fully expect to have combines rolling in October chasing late stools.

Working on peas right now that are 30-40% grass green in appearance from the road. Absolute shitshow as all the green plants refuse to die on their own, but also refuse to set seed. They keep flowering and aborting. If there was actually some bushels there I'd dessicate, but... 4-14bu/ac doesnt justify hiring a high clearance. It doesn't justify firing up my own even if I had it! Running 2-3% splits, and 12-13% Mx with a few green pods and a whole pile of weed seeds and grasshoppers... Leave a truck overnight and the stench of dead and rotting hoppers will damned near make you vomit when you dump into the air bin.

Cereals are turning, and anything that isn't sawfly resistant is going to be a nightmare. THEY were BUSY this year! Late rain was enough to germinate seeds still sitting in dry ground. Some fields as low as 5% which will get pushed through, but I personally have some pushing 75% second growth. I'll pick and choose and then if frost stays away maybe harvest late? Or perhaps just blow it out end of september and hope for snow catch... Even those with 95% germination are getting greener by the day as kochia, and Russian Thistle are getting out of control. Glypho would control the R. thistle, but Kochia would need a dose of diquat. Again... Is a pass of diquat worth it on 10-15bu/ac durum/barley/wheat? Perhaps swath it? And how does one pick up a 10-15bu/ac crop when there isn't enough height or mass to make a swath?

Oilseeds: just doing our part to try and make the guys with a crop a few dollars... Its dismal!

New Ag Canada drought map still has us at D3 on account of the lottery showers we won in July. That said, all those showers did was bring us hail damage, weeds, and 2nd growth. #winning. Those to the south and north were finally put into D4 category.

Alot of crop getting rolled for feed. Hell, some of the cow guys are wrapping the weeds that germinated in July!

It's friggin bleak out here, but... Combines will roll on crop that in any other area would be considered an apocalyptic failure! Back to "Livin the Dream"...

Yes 50 have problems with a robot weld. Hung over I guess.

Long range forecast for us, Aug 25 0'C for a overnight low. Looks to be coming in after a cold front passes through.

Dry and cold don't work well for early fall frost on crops. (maybe I should have said, they work very well together, to damage crops)

Not surprising, it’s coming sooner or later as we get closer to next full moon
