Friday Crop Report on a Thursday Week 13

[RD414]

Big rain coming tonight, lots going out to the watering hole. They hired some old biker dude to wait tables. Anybody recognize him?

Right you are Saskfarmer. He's originally from Saskatoon but his aunt and uncle were from the metropolis of Springwater. He shows up to visit the cousins now and then and obligingly takes selfies with all the ladies who swoon over him. Usually plays the outlaw in the movies but a real nice person and Springwaters tie to the celebrity world. In a commodity related report, we are up to 3/4 of an inch of rain today which puts us at an even dozen, yes 12 inches, since the first of may. 3 times what some of our ground got all last year. Still soaking in good but a couple more inches over the next 24 hours could start filling sloughs. Grand kids out of school today July 1st coming soon, time to turn up the heat and bring out the sun.

Great post RD414

I loved him in Sons of Anarchy.

Ok, also, nice picture

1.25 to 1.5 in so far, and six-quarters of Canola still to spray.

[SASKFARMER]

Kelliher to Melville area had 3 in up to 5 inches.

A tornado warning today just issued and it's raining again

[SASKFARMER]

USDA Neutral today?

Canola is behind this year and with major rain Acres are dropping every Inch we get in Saskatchewan.

[furrowtickler]

Pulse crops by far in the biggest trouble in most western Canada
and yup canola acres going backwards as fast as maturity

[SASKFARMER]

Worst thing one can do now is check their Growing degree days. You want to get a sick feeling look into that. We need Heat and lots real soon. Next week looks like a loss.

My fear would be the canola starts to bolt and flower next week before the plants get any size.
Used to see that happen in springs with lots of rain that washed the nutrients down below the limited root system on the delayed plants.

Seeing that here , hopefully this smaller rain amounts can get the roots moving down . Bolting way before it should be.

Yes, this area, obviously has N wash down. Was so dry empty subsoil, now endless rain taking nutrients away. Shallow roots won't go deeper. Canola will bolt, stay short, yield half, seen it all before.
