Good morning
WTF moment as Regina hit 0 C at 5:43 AM.
The kiss of death for any crop is when media, politicians and idiots say out loud we have a massive crop, Mother Nature goes hold my beer and gives us everything she can dish up.
In my travels, if you drew a line from south of Weyburn to the mountains then up to Red Deer and back to Weyburn, that triangle has poor crops.
We are late on the east side.
Rain fell last week 1/4 to 1/2 inch so 8 in since May 1.
Some ****ing bumper.
Crop report
Hrs and Durum have caught up some time with the heat and maybe a week now behind to 10 days. Hard dough stage in early some problems from the heat can be seen with some heads aborting and not filling right.
Barley, the early is just days away from being harvested as heads are turning downwards, few days later seeded are almost at watching stage. But 6 days outsnother rain event for three days. Might push this and swath a few mand go Monday. Later needs rain. Green feed seeded late has problems its to dry.
Oats, early-seeded has odd white spot but filling nice and should yield ok, not massive but ok. Late seeded for feed and seed is bad.
Flax is done flowering and filling. It's tall and looks ok. Later seeded not as good.
Lentils are thick but I'm shocked there aren't as many seeds as I was hoping to see. Hearing some way south of me 4 to 10 bpa.
Peas, some healthy even fields are desiccated, and others are waiting on green patches with lots of seeds before spraying. Reglone at night here we come. My acres are down since disease became a problem but one half is almost ready the next 2 miles over is still lime green stage.
Canary seed looks good on early seeded late not great.
Canola is all over the map due to spring frosts in early June. Three stages in the same field. Good thing it's all direct cut. Some fields show heat stress some do not. Some fields loaded aster yellows others not much. Is it heat, or variety? Either way, the crop is not going to match last year's yields at all.
So it's an average in our area at best and most of Sask is that or lower. The bumper has left the building with the Western producer story.
Tell us your area results.
