How did you do?

We got .48 in the last 24 hours. Biggest rain since I started keeping track this season. Hopefully help plump some seeds up a bit.

Thebmarketsbthink this solved the drought. Feed prices in Lethbridge dropped significantly as well as most posted grains at elevators. Damage was done as far as I'm concerned and this will help fill what's there but won't had kernels or pods. Unless you were very late seeding I guess

1.3 east of Moose Jaw. Won't do much for crops this year. But they are better than I thought a month ago. Basically at crop ins levels. Nice rain through a lot of southern Alberta. Hay market will collapse. Vvalk is right though, grain crops are what they are. But prairie wide 10-20% less than 10 year average. Not the total wreck some were thinking.

Getting to be too much rain here. It can stop now.

Agree free last night it spun round and round north of the valley. We have water sitting in crop.
To all who dream think what ever this crop is growing. Really peas are set canola has stopped flowering and wheat is set. Thin flax won't make shit but up yes the lentil crop is growing.
Rest all the rain did was save sask crop insurance a big pay out.

iPhone. Need to slow down is all. Will need more rain to make the grass grow again I would think

Early seeded record drought middle of July rain moves a market?

[farmaholic]

They keep telling us the market needs volatility to function. Just under half an inch of rain in my yard this late in the game doesn't change my marketing plan.

This year on my farm price will mean more to the bottom line that volume(volume will be low). The jury is still out, until I know what's in the bin I can't say what price I'll be profitable at, it will be high none the less. What happens if I need $17.50 for canola and $10 for spring wheat? Rhetorical question...

We had 0.25 on Friday, 0.4 last Saturday with showers that makes 0.8 for the week. It has varied widely in our area all season. We've been fortunate to have had timely showers this spring and summer, always left you wanting a little more. From my travels it seemed that most crops were average with a few fields below average. I have learned not to put to much faith in producers who call crop failure before it is in the bin. Seen it too many times where they have stated they had a crop failure in July and took of an average to bumper crop in the fall. Really can't rely on these drama queens when making your marketing decisions, as many have never really experienced drought.
