Been digging holes around field edges to bury rock piles.
Have to watch not to get stuck in soupy stuff after getting top two feet off.
Saw first lodged barley today on old blow dirt fence line ridge.
Think pessimism over drought is overdone.

No lights out awesome crops from EC Sask to okatoks AB. Just got back today. Peas look average. All cereals and canola are below average. Didn't see any great areas along #1.

Really Hopalong - I drove through an area that at best today is 30 bpa...after the next two weeks you can drop that to 20 bpa.

Like every year, there could be areas with good crops. Hoping for an average here but I don't know if it will make that.

I take what I get. And complain either way.

Southeast of regina a good number of fields are virtually nonexistent - low single digit yields.

Most others are going to be 15-20 bushels I bet. Maybe rare 30 bushel crop.

Lots of others were reseeded late and lots of canola size a of a twoonie or smaller. Might have a chance if frost stays away until mid October....but two weeks of this heat I am not sure they can even survive

This drought is very real in our area and it's is big area that is similar I hear. Assiniboia and Gravelboug area sound bone dry.

Yup, some real wrecks in this area too. Canola has the most wrecks, some poor flax fields. Some crops look good from the road at 80 km/hr....don't walk in! There is the odd decent field around as well. The later you seeded the worse it got, even a huge barley field beside us never all came up til after it rained, a lot of it! )

On drive from white city to regina back grid the canola has a lovely sickly whitish colour.

Its just the first days of the heat wave.
