Friday Crop Report on a Thursday Week 17

[SASKFARMER]

Next week we are cooling down but the bad thing its a return of the 45 day cold spell that screwed us in June. If it freezes were ****ed on most crops. When I say ****ed massive amounts of straw and nothing in the head like Trudeau

[sumdumguy]

In 1974 it was hot as this from end of July until Aug 15 when it froze. Huge crop smelled like sour cabbage by the 18 th.

[SASKFARMER]

Yes we just bought that year a CCIL fold up 30 ft I remember it well. Not a good year

Patiently waiting for a hail storm.
Full hail cheque and crop insurance, way better than this dismal crop and pathetic prices.

I hate to burst your bubble. But out here in the hail belt, the only years we don't get hail are years like this when it never rains.

Only good crops get beat up.

Your probably very accurate makar

Drew had our area turning wet in August right through harvest. Dryer is ready

[makar]

If harvest turns wet here I will drink beer and watch it rot. Break even crop breaking equipment dont pay, been there done that. Not having a banker breathing down your neck takes away the need to try and kill your self.

That would be a real kick if it starts raining just as lentils are ready. This year we could see some high-price lentils. There were a lot contracted and this dry heat took away at least 50% of the yield. There will be a lot of sellers short product.

[biglentil]

Spent the evening moving the garden hose from tree to tree in my yard. 1st time I've ever had to, but they look terrible, even though it's too late for the crop I'll take a rain. The Durum is about 25% moisture, heard some guys have begun preharvest herb on cereals but why bother even the lowspots have now completely turned and its Aug 1. Lentils and Durum are going to come im around the same time, canola not far behind. Tomorrows forecast 37c that should finish everything off.

If you ran one of those swathers. You learned how to fix.
