Friday Crop Report on Thursday!

[SASKFARMER3]

MB most sask beans are up to my knee or lower. None like we had past years at waist and podding all way up. How much rain so far have yours had.

Soybeans west of here are very good , they had over double the May / June rains . They are getting close to waist high and full of pods
Here they are knee height but growing up fast after our first good rain 2 weeks ago.
East of here they are short but also starved for rain.
Every other crop looks the same, wether you go from west to east or north to south. Cutknife to Paynton to Turtleford over to Mayfair line has great crops . Go 10-15 miles on either side of that line and the crops diminish from dry conditions to way to wet .
Anyway , soybeans are showing great potential, especially any 000 beans .

Sask3, you quit beans? That's saying something.
Some tryed around here as a first ever.

Had them all seeded by may 12th into good moisture. Since then I've only had 3.75 to 4.5". only one rain event back in mid July of more than one inch, most 1/4" to 1/2"at a time.

I think the cool cloudy June helped preserve moisture, although the beans were suffering from ICD because of this. Since July they greened up and took off. I'm on black clays, and we had lots of soil moisture from last fall and early rains in April. The plants rooted extremely deep this year, seemed to be drought proofed. Don't get me wrong though, I will need at least one inch in the next week to get those pods to fill to potential.

Yea we dropped them. Basically last two years were the highest we ever got but a 55 pea cost less to grow and well you can lose a crop of soy if it gets to cold to hot to dry to wet frost seed to early to late . But if they keep improving eventually we will be back

I will make most money on beans and lentils this year. Did very well considering rain amounts.

Peas, half the yield of last year but over twice as easy to harvest than most years because they didnt go down (yet)...
"Noticed" the pea weevil for the first time this year, I'm not saying they weren't here before but this is the first time I noticed them, saw them on the cutter bar...there's always "something"!

Canola, had some diamond back feeding. No major color change yet.

Flax changing color....no Headline fungi this year.

Wheat ripening...tillers still green and filling....how? I don't know....

Basically no rain yet from the current system tracking through.

I imagine soybeans around here will need a good drink if they are expected to have a decent yield. They're not near as lush as they were in past years. Got to have a closer look at some local fields, we didn't plant any.

Work safe!

Big wheel your beans are in the bin? Or was that last year.

Hmm you must have magic beans?

Just got done looking at some beans. The way I see it is the potential is still there for some of the soybean fields, unlike some of the earlier seeded short season crops. That being said, there is both good and not so good looking soybean crops in the area, depending on what soil their planted on and weed pressure. Some guys are having issues with the RR canola in theirs, I would think a heavy stand of volunteer canola will kick the shit out of the beans.... too much lost nutrients(phos) and moisture
