So maybe crop conditions arent as good out west as some let us believe.

Here's my summary!! Crops from Moose Jaw to Watrous are brutal. Some fields may as well be sprayed down. They are the same between MJ and Regina. It's funny having buyers calling to sign up green lentils, the trade knows what's out there. They all drive around like we do, and the disaster that is out there is the factual truth. I have a friend that speculates there are only 20% of the lentil crop that will be salvageable. This downplaying by some is a joke, it's reality. SF3 is absolutely correct in his assumptions. Where I farm things fortunately look fantastic, but we have been through wet yr, and know the deviation flooding does.

Flooding that late in the crops cycle doesn't make grain, it take it.

Lentils that were rolled here are toast. Ours that weren't rolled look pretty good, better everyday. Recovery questionable though, even with fungicide.

Many farmers didn't select lentils on Crop Insurance because of cost, now phoning the office and SOL.

We are done in gurnsey.


Sunk the sprayer again in the guy's chem fallow. And by sunk, I mean sunk a sprayer with 18.4-42s right to the frame of the sprayer… it'll be fun tomorrow to get out.

177acres on a half section seeded… 122 acres sprayed. maybe 90 acres will make a crop. It's brutal in that neck of the woods.


North and east of Annaheim, cereals are good. Not great but good. Canola is shitty spindly crappy. Only saw one field of peas up there and it's dead pretty much.


West of Saskatoon, and around Colonsay country there's some very nice canola peas and wheat. Some OK some crap.

What's nice is VERY nice though.

Very different seeing the crop from in the field (you see a lot of acres custom spraying) than from the road.

Best crops I've run through are those on West side of city, but don't go too far west.

Once you get west of eagle creek things look good again. West of hwy 4 crops look really crop except for some of the peas. What are you running for a sprayer?

Klause, take care getting your sprayer out. Dangerous work.

What's next a Quad track? Wow, must be bottomless soup under the surface. Never happened on our farm, but neighbor dropped a JD 9300 to the frame ON a hill side. Pull and attach carefully, good luck.
