Hail planes working overtime here last night. Good lightning show lots of dark clouds, but it went around us.
I think the crops could have appreciated a drink after the 35°, we had a couple of days ago. See a bunch of canola looking silver even at 8:00 last night with the leaves all folded up turned up.

Not good timing for day after day of highs over 30°. Canola ranges from bolting to full flower in the area. I haven't checked for blanks yet.

Wheat and barley are loving the heat. The later canola is catching up in a hurry. No shortage of moisture in my immediate area

Haying is going full throttle. Yields are poor.

Whats the word there furrow

Had hail for 15-20 minutes
hit 6500 acres
out assessing this morning
could have been worse
.5 to 1.2 in. rain probably be more beneficial than hail damage from what I see so far
extremely glad we did fungicide/ alpine and crop aid mix on 60% so far
will absolutely do every acre now
have to mitigate damage now

One more storm on its way 2/10 so far and wind

[SASKFARMER]

Planes choppers and ground rigs going all over the place. Temp is still 23 so on we go.

Last night’s 0.25” with the wind pushed some of our wheat down, hopefully most of it will pop up. Fungicide going down everywhere around here, last night’s rain pushed are total rain this year to over 12”, don’t think we’ve had 3 days in a row without rain.

Guys running over canola yestarday in 34degree heat putting down fungicide. Smh but what do I know.

Wow , looking to sterilize the flowers I guess

I quit at 26 but yesterday at 6 I went out at 29 till 9 when the fog came in. I'm sitting stuck now waiting for a pull tractor.

Right or wrong we made the decision to do all our fungicide spraying with a plane this year, time will tell whether it worked. With the amount of rain we’ve had this year I’m sure there are some surprises lurking below the canopy.
