    Saskatchewan canola crop won't be a bumper!

    Seems a old once in a blue moon problem is
    showing up in east sask. Leafhoppers early in
    spring blew up here from USA on all those winds.
    They then effect a perfect healthy plant and you
    get aster yellows.
    Yield loss on early canola looks 35 to 45 percent.
    Yea it's going to be a bumper.
    Google aster yellow canola. Lots of info.
    Our canola is dropped to a 6 from 8.

    Nothing we could do. It's a big area that's
    effected.

      Yep and when do you think the rocket scientists that trade will notice.

      I have been watching fields that have the inputs to grow a 50 bu crop drown out, get aster yellows, stop flowering due to heat and everyone keeps saying this is a large crop. Bullshit.

        Our fertilizer that went in should have given a 60
        but yes flood, heat, aster yellow, and it will be
        lucky to hit 25.
        Specs and bs from the experts, keep the world
        going round and round.

          Aster yellows and pod blast, looks like going to be below average. Time will tell but I thing the basis will be narrowing in the future.

            The trade will wait and hope for a bumper crop till 2013. Charts are taking elevator down now. Why pay more, enough farmers have to sell even a poor crop.
            Another torrential 1" flood today on top of the mud and sloughs.
            Harvest could be a nightmare.

              Fricking rain storm just hit two canola could get
              hailed would be ok now. Miss the wheat.
              Flowering in 30 plus not good no matter how nice
              you think it is.

                Bucket, our crop has little to do with
                actual trade.

                  Just had another 1.5" in 10 minutes with 100KPH wind and lots of penny size hail... getting closer to zero bu every storm.
                  Water unreal!
                  Never seen such fury in all my years.
