Friday Crop Report!

[riders2010]

Peas wrote off by crap insurance.
Flax thin too many drowned out areas
Wheat is terrific
Barley has a third of the field wiped out the rest is good
Canola early fields are better later ones could not take the flood are poor.
Way below average except for wheat and the odd canola field.

Early seeded Canola out of bloom and filling. Some wheat getting reddish tinge on heads. Lots of early peas that never recovered from herbicide app. Will be interesting to see what they yield.

Some good pea crops. CWRS looks awesome and Penhold CPS the same. It is short... 20 inches with very nice heads. Will be a nice fit for Foremost replacement with better milling quality and protein up at least 1 percent by the looks of the stats.

Could be an early fall start by the looks of crops that were seeded early in east central Alberta. A few wht fields that missed showers... have white tinge with hot days.

Have a great weekend!

What have some of you all been getting for "heat"? We have been having trouble hitting more than 24, which is about normal, and is doing nothing to advance really late crops. Been humid though, the kind where you start sweating at 8AM, and continue to sweat even while sitting still, until the basement beckons in the evening.

SF3, I live for your Friday, ahem, Thursday crop reports!!! lol. You have a way of saying things that makes me smile...

Back home our wheat starting to fill heads - canola coming out of bloom and peas are either very good or fuked for a number of reasons .
There is about 30 % of the crop in our area that is far later than last year

I drove about 2000 kms around SE Sask early this week. Extremly variable crop when it comes to lentils, and within the affected area of Chamberlain, MJ, Rouleau, Sedley Regina there is crops that are zero and crops that will be 30 . Extremely hard to get a handle on it, but other crops like durum, HRS and canola look to have come thru it much better.

Spent most of yesterday at Indian Head REsearch FArm looking at Canary research. Some really interesting work on fertility will come out of that site this summer. Work is replicated at 5 sites across province.

If SF3 durum/HRS looks anything like Indian Head, youre headed for a nice crop. Showed pea work with athinomyces and it is a terrible disease.

Dave did you drive east of research farm and look at HCI a lentils care to guess yield!

[dave4441]

No, didnt see any lentils around there, and had long drive home after meetings and tour so headed west.

That's quite a resource in your back yard SF3. I am going to go back in later Aug to look at some of the birdseed plots again (and do final lentil tour of SE where i will focus more on yield estimates). Canary work is really showing some promise on fertility at that site of lower clay content soil.

[SASKFARMER3]

When G Lafond was alive he studied lots their! It is a very important site that I hope we can keep in area! Hrs has potential canola is thin when you get in and some fields are total shit!

Glad to hear about Canary research. Much needed!

Close to the two inch mark here this morning in less than 60 minutes. Crops needed a wee drink, but now we look like end of june again. Wheat around here by far the best. Kinda makes me wonder if 50 years ago thats all they grew here was wheat, cause wet, dry, they always would get some kind of crop.
