Those peas could do 30bu/ac if they get rain. Canola the same.

Some in my area same. Most somewhat better. Big difference in maturity of peas. Ours behind those.

Please explain how that canola could make 30!!!

Also quite a feat keeping the knife below all the pods.

Tom must work for statscan

Tom has a good flex header... and this is July 8 not Aug 8. A month of growth and 2" of rain would build a 60-70 percent of normal yield.

In 2002 we had 12bu CWRS and 18 yellow peas. Most of our neighbours wrote everything off. This in not 2002... not even close. If we can keep temps under 33 C and 2" more moisture there will be a 2/3 crop.NOAA is predicting 3-4" between now and Aug 12.

peas will be 15-18 bu/acre. I have had a crop a bit better than that once that went 21.

Canola, field average 8 bu/acre.

NOAA hadn't got it right yet this summer here on the prairie. Most of the canola will be in swaths in the dry areas by first week of August. There will be swathing in July in s/SE Alberta

right, there is canola that is done flowering right now in the southwest. the heat this week and next could turn it to pepper.

canola i'm guessing 5/acre if they get anything.
peas 15.
