Let those guys with the worst crops maintain some pride and dignity. Everyone wants to put their best foot forward.

I know I wouldn't want to post my worst spots. We have some sandy patches that are burnt.

What amazes me is how well our crop is hanging on(over all). It's not GOOD, but we'll hopefully(I'm sure we will) get something, and maybe more than some other guys. It's not over yet either. It has to fill and I'm not very optimistic it will even be average when all is said and done.

The soil surface is dust and below that is concrete and hopefully below that is a bit of reserve to carry this "less than mediocre crop" through to the point we can at least break even if no more rain comes before it is absolutely too late to do any good.

In general, as I've said before, we had "decent" establishment for the conditions we were given. So the fields have a crop in them. We've had basically no meaningful rain since that near 2 inch blessing June 14 and I'm sure some people never even got that.

I will have to set aside my pride and after harvest report the results, and if you want, then you can chastise me for crying wolf all spring and summer.

ps... got a couple of texts today for canola at $12.12 July and $12.25 NOW!!!

Hang in there everyone, and a special shout out to the cattle producers in the worst affected areas.

Big deal farmaholic, you got one more inch than i did on june 14th, finally got another half inch last night. Sure there's some poor crops out there but quit complaining if your crops look average or better!

Forgot to mention things look not bad from the road, Walk in past the decades blow dirt along field edges and through the overlapped head lands and there is some pretty sobering things to look at. High and dry parts of the fields have short and dry growth. Anywhere there is adequate moisture, like the lowest of low spots that sometimes are unseedable because of water or mud, the crop is decent. Remember, even in the too wet years we only lost about 10, maybe 15% of our acres, so that gives you an idea of the terrain we're farming.

I try to tell it like it is, not complain and post pictures of lush crops, I don't care if you don't take my word for it! All I know is I will be glad to get this one behind me.
