Canola Yields!

[SASKFARMER]

I did have a chance on Monday to go golfing at Madge and take a drive up from our lake. It is interesting once you get past Vergin it gets a little better but still issues with drought. Yes better but not the usual crop for sure.

So I'm going to say from my observations over most of Sask and Manitoba it's a 12.7 Mt Canola crop. The rain did help one little area around Regina to Indian head fill bigger seeds but that's all.

So what are others guessing.

Cant wait till the combines roll and the real results are out.

Ag Canada was a complete ****ing joke with its 19.8 Mt crop.

This shows the mentality of stupid eastern civil servants. Useless fools.

So basically enough to crush and that's about it.

Last Friday on the market it was grain companies' end of the year and they helped with a dollar a bushel drop in prices.

Interesting times ahead with this drought are interesting, to say the least.

No 5 foot tall Canola along the Verigin/Kamsack corridor? It’s gotta be bad!

One of the best



Little worse



Then way worse



Then down right ugly

The last two pictures is what I see around here everyday and getting worse if you can believe it. Its like it is shrinking into the ground....except on some there was never any flowers...Leaves went from green to grey without even bolting.

oats do that when it gets dry its what I call old man syndrome. As it gets older and dryer and grouchy it gets shorter, thinner, and white.

That picture should have been up since September 1st 2020...maybe even before.

That map needs another color bar because there are places that got less than 20% of normal moisture.

This what the canola looks like between Rosetown and Elrose. Just about every other field is canola and it mostly looks like this.

[SASKFARMER]

SW that's one observation I found in Rosetown Area. Every second field was canola. In our area and up north it's barley oats wheat peas and then canola. Rosetown to Elrose it was canola then durum then lentils and peas.

I guess planted for crop insurance since if using the never-grown till 10 years ago and had 9 great crops the coverage would be better than Star City or Melfort.

Be same thing here next year if it don’t rain this fall or next spring. I’ve never had 100% of the farm seeded to canola, but the coverage will be hard to pass up in this drought. Your move mother nature.....

Much the same as Lentils on Lentil stubble here... When you're farming crop insurance, it's by far the best payer! And honestly, if it doesnt rain, short term survival may very well trump long term agronomy.

Its a sad commentary that farmers have to do something like that to get proper support programs in the face of a disaster.

But can crop insurance stay solvent or have to raise premiums.

SCIC is probably figuring out how to cap coverage.....
