Friday Crop Report on a Thursday Week 22

[SASKFARMER]

I can get what wheat will yield with math, and pretty good on barley and peas but canola except for the pod from fingers to shoulder I never get it right.

Big pods on bottom then a blank 3 days and little pods on top.

It's no 2023 real big crop for sure.

Pictures are from 23 and 24

Now 23 grew lots of height but podded really
well

Got done our barley good weight and .4 vom but with high humidity was not quite dry so its on air 1.5 inches this week . Oats next and canola sprayed and sons late seeded wheat is turning . Had bad pump day yesterday blew drive axel pump on swather and water pump on truck . Rainy days are for fixing around this place

[fjlip]

1/2" downpour! Tisdale 1", S to Wadena, towards Yorkton all in the rain.

Terrible, just as wheels start turning again.

There is a bigger problem going on with the wheat than most think
sawfly in areas and here we have identified Hessain Fly damage, and it’s bad in pockets

[furrowtickler]

Took 10 bushel / ac on one 1/2 section. , and is all through area
The pockets with infestation yeilds are off 50% or higher and the quality in those areas is terrible

[BTO780]

It’s still a HUGE crop.
HUGE yields
HUGE test weights

HUGE LOAD OF CRAP!!!!!!!!

[SASKFARMER]

Later seeded canola mid-may. Its not even close to last years big big yields. Sask canola crop isn't impressive.

[WiltonRanch]

Volunteer canola is a huge problem this year. Lucky I threw stuff in burn off for fields I thought were bad. Regret I didn’t do for couple others. Better farmers than me have far worse messes. I’m not alone.

rowing up bales on some rough ground we spread grass on this spring with no cover crop. Alfalfa got a good start.

[helmsdale]

Peas done. 13 to 24.5. grasshoppers are mostly piled in the trees after cleaning. Can't say i'll miss chasing marbles. Onto durum next. 1.25" here the last couple days. Hell of a time for it to show up. Hand thrashed some heads and I'd guess near 20% just after lunch today. Possibly go tomorrow if I can get everything tuned up, and a few bins consolidated.

Hopper bins of peas are going to the elevator next week. Aim for a load a day in the morning then combine during the day I guess. They dont seem to care too much when they show up. They've had 2 100 car spots since the strike threat so space seems ample.

Patience... Happy hour is on.

Lots of wheat samples here coming in at sub 60lb. Some in the low 50s. With nothing coming in much if any above 60lb, there's no blending ability. Some early seeded durum coming in "close" to what the stand should produce, but weight is a challenge. Time will tell what the later stuff comes in at. My feeling is it'll be lower yield, but better weight. Most all pulse crops are 1/2 at best of what they appear to be. Alot of the canola is pepper. Initial yields are 1/2 of what stand should be.

[furrowtickler]

1st canola coming off in area today . Yields are half of what stand looks like .
And these fields looked very good, not a good sign but not unexpected either sadly

Neighbor just said his barley ran 40 36 lbs 19 protein.
