Friday Crop Report on a Thursday week 16

[WiltonRanch]

That wind has a cold feel to it. Can tell canola isn’t suffering here as much since smoke and now cold rolled in. Actually it’s flowering better so hope it stays going till a rain event.

Yeh, Furrow and this SE wind could bring rain. Wishful thinking?

So far looks mostly north of hiway 16 , but hopefully get a splash over next few days with the variable temps

Could be a few nasty troughs in NE Alberta and NW Sask develop

That should about do it.

The wife smelled crop insurance cheques 3 days ago when she went out to hang laundry ~7am. It's been burning now for 4 days. I thought the smoke would hold things back somewhat, but 103° with a 15-20mph south wind, combined with another forecast day of 100° tomorrow should be the final nail.

Well be processing straw, while the clean grain side shouldn't have much wear...

Damage typically shows up 3-5 days from the event. I suspect it'll stink tomorrow morning though. Huge potential 3 weeks ago. Nothing but downside now. 2wk is hot+dry.

Next year... always next year

That’s a terrible situation, sorry there Helmsdale .

After 4 years, I'm almost numb to it.

Peas filling here , still hanging in there

Sad to see an end of season heat wave like this. My bet are the rains start up again just as the combines start rolling. Seen it all before.
