Best looking corn I have ever seen in dairy country north of Saskatoon.

They say heat stress …


Slightly I guess
But more worried about wet weather coming later today . Will add to discount excuses.
Wheat got dry yesterday afternoon. I can see this b/s pattern starting , just get below 17-16 , get going , get dry , then rain , wait for 2-3 days then same for the next month

All the talk of early harvest is this area will be gone after the next 4 days , north of here still a long ways from starting .
Getting very wet in the far NW

Two more good days and all the wheat will be off. Thats anywhere from 90-93 days from time it was seeded to when its in the bin. Better crop than 2021 and 2022, but well below our average. If I had swathed all the canola it would be all in the bin in a few days as well but we chose to spray. Not sure why, all we are doing is saving crop insurance a bit of money.

End of day this was the smoothest harvest so far. Maybe I jinxed it now but maybe since the kids are older and being so early its been a blast having them out all day everyday. What I’ve learned from this harvest with only two of us doing everything is sometimes you have to slow down to go faster. And I think that can be carried over into life in general. Enjoy the small things, don’t take things to seriously and slow down and smell the roses every once and awhile.

Crops good here but harvest just starting 5% maybe, and RAIN forecast ALL week! Soon from hell.

Don't know what is better.

Oh I forgot harvest I think is close to 9% prob wide are done but in our area 2% or only a handful of guys are going in our area. Peas barley and lentils.

Rained all day off and on yesterday. Ended up just under 1/2 inch. Will help finish the canola and some of the later wheat. Barley in the area was just starting to get combined Wednesday and Thursday as well as some guys were swathing barley. I haven’t heard much for yields. Looked like more rain to the north of me and into Saskatchewan, Ajl, Furrow, Woodland did you get much rain? Some pastures will stay green a little longer. Peas were being combined as well, sounded like yields were decent but I haven’t heard numbers. Certainly doesn’t look like it will be an early harvest here.

Super Blue Moon rises with Saturn August 30-31, let’s sneak by that baby. 👍

Most rains stayed NW and north of here . Getting very wet up there now .
So far less than 1/10 here , just misting now
Time to get back on swather today for the rest of the canola
Hopefully back on hrsw tomorrow and get as much as possible off before Monday /Tuesday.
Wheat still very nice , yields all over the place . Anywhere there was very little snow cover the wheat is poor , any draws or fields that had very good snow catch yields are decent. Rain fall was low all through here , so the only difference is where there was some soil moisture to carry the wheat somewhat through the several dry and hot spells .
Fields with more low areas , heavier soils will be better, fields with limited snow cover and few low areas are poor
We finished a 300 ac yesterday morning that had tall canola stubble and great snow catch , yield was reasonable. Moved across the road on another 300 ac , seeded one day apart and it was 14 bus less . But shorter stubble , way less snow cover and just a few low areas .
