Canola up, lentils rotting....

[furrowtickler]

Good to see canola regain some lost ground on a friday afternoon.
Lentils in the whole area are laying down, are soaking wet and rotting with all kinds of molds, even after fugicides. Peas as well are turning too mush at ground level. We were dried out in the 1st week of Aug but are getting wet daily again. Not good timing at all. Nothing is mature enough yet to sprout but molds are eating pods, lentils are loosing yeild daily. Still a good crop here but it needs to dry out very soon for the pulses.
We are going to have to fight this one right to the bitter end.

Peas in the same boat down here, lentils, maybe not so bad yet, another rain and we'll be there too.

Rain every day or two, usually inches at a time in the NE. EVERYTHING is rotting! Harvest will be IMPOSSIBLE! Water in every dip just like spring runoff. SMF cultivation a nightmare. Maturing crop yellow in spots. Unless it turns into Russian drought, next year will be worse.

Canola ready to swath, pouring rain, cutting at 6 in. This is not going to be fun.

You are so right, stopped being anything but fun about May 20th...only getting worse...

This one is quickly turning into a gong show.

i noticed the lentils looked bad.
reminds me why i got out of them.
gets more scary every day.
we are getting our daily rains .
but avoiding the huge amounts so far.
visions of scraping peas out of the mud
frozen wheat and canola.
the best crop we never got.
all we need is a miracle.
the weather must be due for a change

A lot of lentils were presold. Farmers were hot to lock in price and marketers were forward selling like crazy all year- oops. Lentils are going downhill fast with all these rains.
