Half the canola here is podded and knee high.

Just found a section that had heavy rain and some hail about a week ago. Lots of flooded and sick water-logged shit. I will call it already 2024 isn't what 2023crop was. Lots of issues for us. Oh well it was a good run.

[SASKFARMER]

Its wet here

[shtferbrains]

Lodging from wind and rain events last week

IMHO more may be lost to lodging overall that the flooding.

Wheat lodging here with no heads emerged. No weight in the heads.

Might not be a big deal if it gets hot and dry but if a thunderstorm goes by in the next month lots will be down.

Crops have gone from looking great to wow what the hell happened. Barley burning up, canola stands shrinking and now hoppers are getting Hungary. We had cool weather last year that allowed crops to mature slowly. Next two weeks will be the final nail in the coffin I’m afraid .

[furrowtickler]

First yield estimates are out:

Canola 42

Wheat 58

Durum 44

Barley 74

She’s a whopper boys!

Probably close today , 5-7 days that be cut in half
is what it is , most of us have been there
some will learn , most will not

In my area the canola will be a complete disaster by the end of next wk … it’s almost there already.
Even the lower spots are ugly! Can’t see there being many pods at the end.

Cereals are taking a beating also. Wavey and white pretty much sums it up. When the chickpeas are shutting down already, there is a serious problem out there.

At the end we have no control of anything including prices. Take it and suck it up. The hurt is just around the corner for some.

[shtferbrains]

Looks like prices are moving on the weather?

More buyers than sellers?

[Herc]

Judging by the forecast now, early seeded will win this year….. by a landslide. Surprised later canola is even flowering. But it’ll power out in couple days when this relentless heat takes its toll.

Estimates for our farm dropped 25%. May have to adjust further.

[BTO780]

Hail, hail, hail.
Corner to corner, then collect crap insurance.

finished baling hay yesterday , 300 bales from 50 acres, on john deere 567 baler roller cracked Wednesday evening ,drive roller over pick up , phoned Dealer ,, just 3,600 $ for new one and it might be here by next tuesday , no roller in manitoba , one at dealer at leader sk and one somewhere in alberta , took out roller and welded it up and finished hay yesterday , not impressed

[SASKFARMER]

Tomorrow our area will start to see the temp rising. What was scary Monday night we dropped to to 5 for 10 min

[SASKFARMER]

Humidity is still 77% at 10 am

That cold May and June fcked the timing on this crop. Usually our canola is coming out of bloom by now, but instead going in to a big heat wave.

Some guys durum headed out last week and its already got a tinge to to.
