Early crops seem to me better off than mid planted. Late not showing as bad but a big yet. Peas barley showing worst at the moment. I started the thread cause at 10am all crops looked better than at at 5pm agree not much difference in time but a big one on crop appearance. Sorta like from hopeful to hopeless on a lot of acres. Anyone else see it?

It seems this weekend was a bit of a kicker. We were ok before it. The 2 last inches. -
Yea that sums it up! When I drove out today to farm it seemedaybe not that bad but going home today after the sun was out 1/3 of the crop is ****ed! Water under crop and plants are done! Simple process today yellow in two more days brown and then those spots dead! Sick but that's farming all that hard work for nothing!Comment

peas and soy looking so far they faired the best. cereals went sideways last 2 days...still lots yellow. smaller canola looking worst...looked better 2 days ago when cooler...bigger stuff bit better. expecting lots of premature bolting.Comment

See big differences in crops. Some early seeded canola bolting and starting to flower, can still grow its way out if not in standing water. Same with cereals.
Past experience with later canola on water logged soil says don't expect much. Localities with heavy rains prior to last week end look worst.Comment

I find barley is taking the excess water the worst.

Crops don't recover once the days start getting shorter. They do their best to set what seed they can in as short of period as possible. If your crop hadn't already made the change from vegetative to reproductive before the wet it's screwed.Comment
