Friday crop report on a thursday!

[furrowtickler]

We will send samples away as well , usually do when falls like this happen and grain buyers try to squeeze every nickel through grades and protein

50-55 bu canola @ $18 is sure better than 15-20 @ $18.
I wouldn’t be complaining too much even that price.

Have friends taking off 10 canola.

I have to spray a 640 ac 15 bu canola crop just so I don’t have to combine it end of Sept, talk about a waste of money.

Couldn’t get a hail storm.

Even if canola was $20 it still wouldn’t be enough for some.

Ya but ur getting an extra 20@ $18.83 from scic. So what are we talking about here? End of the day scic will pay the bills again this year for many farms and then some. Glass half full or half empty?……

Just for reference, canola is now $17

There’s a lot of harvest left todo. We are pecking away but showers every couple of days sure doesn’t help. Guess be thankful, it’s not inches. We’ve seen very black swathes over the years.

Some canola varieties held on very decent, some obviously can not handle drought stress as well .

Which varieties furrow. So far, I am not too happy with L357, first time trying it. Didnt seem to handle the heat well and bloody hard to thrash out compared to what we have used before.

Perhaps better pod shatter trait but sacrifice yield and heat tolerance.

Grew the crop with a very limited root system only having the top foot or less of dirt accessible due to the dry season?.

I am wondering about this as well. Some of the durum has pieball. Did all the rain weighted to the start of the season prevented adequate rooting and nutrient uptake. Canola too.

Should get to our better of 2 357 field tomorrow. Not expecting much!

Depending on how much early rain, it could have pushed nitrogen deeper, which roots didn't get to? That one I find unlikely, but anything is possible i suppose. More likely, there was just enough rain to maintain a 12" moist zone which got awful bloody hot and dry about the time the head is filling. Nitrogen then gasses off?

Another possibility cereal wise, is a large amount of late stools? Regardless of fertility rates, I've never seen stools (at least here) attain much in the way of protein. The rushed nature of their filling, as well as semi-dead main plants seem to be incapable of making protein.

Always reassuring to seed a variety that gets pulled and replaced mid season. I am going back to L233 next year.

Still shutting down canola.

How many farmers use the CGC Harvest sample program or the Subject Too service?

I do
But haven’t got it sent in yet

Two quarters side by side
All things equal
Seeded same day
P505 outyielded L340 by 17%
All weighed
Regrowth on 340 4-5 times as much as 505 post harvest ? Turning yellow now
Hoping this quarter is an anomaly as we still have 3 quarters of 340 to do
Rest of 505 off and yields consistent with first quarter

Data still just starting to come in locally . Won’t comment on other areas as for the huge variability this year .
Most canola just starting to come off here

Wheat testing 18.2 not coming down fast today.

Better yet P505
