Friday Crop Report on a Thursday week 19

[agstar77]

Should have seen writing on the wall when JD cut production. They have your data.

And heavy rains 1-2.5" plus lots of N cause this...

[shtferbrains]

See some like that where the crops were dried out last year.

2 yrs of N stacked?

[SASKFARMER]

It happens!

Next week rain Tuesday and Wednesday.

I don’t remember seeing barley filled and not fully emerged from the boot. Probably seen it before but forgot but I thought it was odd.

[SASKFARMER]

Oh yea I saw that in the 80s.
The last is my later seeded wheat

The double pod I found some this year

I wonder if Viterra is shorting the market. At a marketing meeting in February their trader was claiming we were heading for a 6 mt canola carry out. Even this uninformed farmer knew it was so much BS.

[blackpowder]

Just made a trip to Calgary and back.
Good cereals in the usual areas.
But did not see one canola crop with a nice flat top.

[SASKFARMER]

Canola is the one crop that doesn't do well in plus 28 days.

Some early combining of barley has been done in my area. From what I have heard so far yields are not impressive. 40-50 bushel per acre yields with very light sub 48lb. bushel weights. Now granted this has been on lighter land. But yield certainly under 50% of last year. My barley silage yielded 6 ton per acre, 10.5 last year. Soft white wheat was 8 ton this year, 11.5 last year. The only reason the yields were that good was we had a 2 mile wide thunderstorm roll through a couple of weeks ago that gave us almost an inch of rain. Really helped. Neighbours plan to start combining barley Saturday, they started seeding barley about May 1. Should know rough yields next week. Drove truck for a neighbour yesterday for silage. Cut some nice looking oats but he said they were cutting it because there was nothing in the heads. Time will tell.
