    I have Almost half the farm wheat. Neighbour has 11000 wheat and 11000 canola. Big farm to East of us a hour has two crops Wheat on 25000 acres and Canola on 25000.
    In the East side of the province till we can get lentils to grow in water their is two crops. I add peas and Barley to our rotation to help with harvest.

            Wheat... like most of my aged machinery, it keeps me in the game. I don't expect it to afford me cervezas and tan lines all winter long, but then it doesn't expect to be molly cottled all summer long either. It might not afford me bragging rights in the form of flashy new green equipment, or a new house, duramax, suburban etc, but it keeps my stress levels manageable, my dreams humble, and my banker at bay. Hopefully a couple timely showers will keep it that way.

              Helmsdale. There is fusarium here and sometimes ergot, along with midge, sometimes sawfly that you can do nothing about other than grow a "resistant" variety and the lesser risk of grasshoppers. I find it as "needy" as anything else.....especially ever since we put out the all "they" can eat smorg!

                Global wheat production is projected at 727 million metric tons (MMT) down 7.1 MMT, and slightly below the 2015/16 record. Production among the major exporting countries of Argentina, Australia, Canada, EU, Kazakhstan, Russia, Ukraine, and the United States is down a net 2.4 MMT. Projected gains in Argentina, Australia, Canada, and Rus-sia’s wheat production are not enough to offset declines in the EU, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, and the United States. In the EU, although area harvested is projected to rise, yields are expected to dip. Farmers in Argentina are projected to produce more wheat as elimination of export policy restrictions incentivizes increased planting. Production in Can-ada is expected to rise marginally as increased winter wheat offsets reduced spring wheat area. Russia’s wheat crop is expected to be the second largest on record. Production in Ukraine is expected to drop from last year, but recent favorable weather conditions have boosted crop potential. U.S. production is projected lower than last year as a sharp reduction in area more than offsets above-average yields.

                2016/17 global ending stocks are projected to reach a new record of 257 million tons, up 14.4 million tons from last year. China’s burgeoning stocks now account for a whopping 46 percent of global stocks and are expected up 21.7 million tons from last year. Projected ending stocks, less China, are actually down year-to-year.

                Global trade is up significantly month-to-month to a record 166.6 million tons. Egypt, Ethiopia, Thailand, Indone-sia, Morocco, and Turkey imports are all raised. Partly offsetting are cuts in Iraq and Saudi Arabia. Argentina, Canada, EU, Kazakhstan, Russia, and Turkey exports are all raised. U.S. exports, imports, and the season-average farm price are all unchanged. Season-average farm prices in 2016/17 are projected in the range of $3.70 to $4.50/bushel, down from $4.90/bushel in 2015/16.

                  Wheat is in the ground and some is up in this area east of Edmonton as this is wheat and canola country. Definitely more peas in the area but 10% of acres would be high. There is still last years wheat in bags in the area so no shortage of wheat anytime soon.

                    Ok, I lied. Probably not seeding wheat anymore. This rain screwed my plans.
