Well the funny thing on Monday after the Big Rain Event that didn't happen was how the radio and TV had farmers doing the Happy Dance.
FM was all I have to say.
This is a year of hit and Mist showers. Yes two drops hitting the ground is a rain event.
Funny we have 5% of our total acreage that drastically needs a rain. Yes I said it but this land has missed every shower all year. One mile south had over a inch this last rain event.
So for today what is the consensus on Yields as Charlie is talking the market knows. The market is Manipulated that is a given. The market is corrupt that is a given. The market is their for the buyers that is a given.
Yea the market knows jack shit.
All year I have been saying the Canola acres were going to be down. Then the frosts happened to take a few more and the heat will take a few more leaving one small Canadian Canola crop.
Seed is virtually all gone with the reseeding that took place. Will they distort the market with some pie in the sky total crop size.
But then their is also the Huge lentil and pea acreage. Peas do need water but hate to get their feet to wet. Lentils that bloom at a couple inches don't really yield all that well.
The Faba been experiment, Ah the plant likes water.
Flax acreage was extremely high this year. Flax needs water for good yield, short flax and less water leaves low yields.
Barley trying to put a head out this weekend is in for a bad time. Short thin shitty yields.
Oats needs a drink now and then and a skinny thin oat kernel makes for no weight and low yield.
Durum acreage was up but even a thin durum crop can yield something but a thin durum crop still needs water.
See one common theme here its water the thing I cursed, Hated still is the main ingredient for a great crop. What we had the past 10 was not normal. What were experiencing this year is definitely not a traditional year. But like I said earlier its a hit and mist kind of year.
Contracts will definitely not get filled by some. Listening to your farm crop specialist and hopeing things will bet better is not going to work. Dealing with the short fall now is a better solution. See their isn't a huge area that will do totally awesome to fill all the contracts.
Lots of crop was seeded early so the stage it is at is critical this week. Heat is on the way to probably take yield away again.
But wait this is Canada where every crop report tells how wonderful it is.
Politicians and Crop groups and Industry said we were reaching a new plateau in Agriculture in Canada Yields had no place to go but up.
I said it happened because of excess rain.
