    So the five guys combining Canola say it looks better than they thought!

    Seems the few combines that are running are seeing better yields than they thought. DAH southern Manitoba and SW Sask. Again DAH the nicest crops are in these areas so why wouldn't they see better yields. God reporters are such a bunch of losers. Come north and central and tell me how no crop will look when the combines don't roll. Or how will the combine operator feel when he drives 20 feet its running 40 then 300 feet its 15 then 600 feet its nothing and back up to 15 then turn around and go back average yield on quarter 15. But that they don't want to report on. OH their looking for a feel good story.

      Drove all over the SE yesterday, and yes i did not go into NE and Yorkton, but there are some nice crops in SE as well. Lower flax acres no question, but did see some big flax crops. Crops in general more advanced in the South then i expected.

        crops do look good in the SE, but they're 2-3 wks later than normal.

        ya, a little talk about better than expected yeilds just causes buyers to step back from the market and down she goes, saw July'11 canola down $27.50 this morning. They'll buy hand to mouth untill the yeild picture is clearer.

        SF#, there are some heavy canola crops out there, the question everyone is waiting to see answered is, how much will those fewer heavy stands make up of the crappy stuff.

            If you have a good amount of hail insurance I would
            say it was a blessing...no combining, no storage issue,
            no trucking, no marketing. If i remember correctly
            SaskFarmer you said weeks ago you were loading up
            on insurance, which is it, good or bad problem.

                IMO, yeild reports are going to be above average for the first seeded canola in non-flood zones then yeilds will crash for the most part except in north west sask and north east Alberta. Overall I will stick too 27-28bus/ac ave - western Canada. As too acres harvested - 10-11 mill ac?

                  Yea we did take way more hail insurance this year than others so will help out. Just hate fact have to walk a bunch of fields with adjuster in week or two. Oh well.

                    I do agree with the comment of early yields being good. We have a guy who seeded on April 20 th would have frozen off most years. He looks like a hero this year. Good for him a gamble that worked. Swathing now and nice crop. Then take field down road just flowering. Hm
