Shanghai composite off to a rough opening in the early hours of September.

Rumblings that China gov't pulling back financial support. This will impact commodities and equities tomorrow morning.

Same here. Brown, blue and green. The green is weeds.

Late rains blow flax maturity crazy when early hot weather/drought.

Officially, Canada in recession.

farma, if you wait for the second growth, it'll really push your harvest late into the fall, and by then your earlier maturing balls will be on the ground. Plus, you'd be risking the second growth to frost and may not make anything. I agree, spray it now, as it'll still take 3wks to cut straight. Swathing will likely still take 2 wks to dry, and then you have the risk of a September Howler, blowing swaths for half a mile or more. I'd say act quick, as the more/bigger the green growth, the longer you wait.

The great fall of China unfortunately means the great fall of Canada.
