Friday Crop Report on a Thursday!

I like the turkey vultures are blocking out the sun and look at this map the drought stops at the USA border some market players are about as smart as that map comment. All good past perimeter road in Winnipeg so must be a bumper coming

Wind wind from the south and a half inch rain is gone.

Seems it is always like this, what you see out the window is not the BIG picture. When we were drowned, there was no big deal either. North of here isolated spots 4-6" hard fast rain in T storms the other night. Totally flooded, plus some hail. That won't make news either.
Northern states massive drought, spring wheat crop down only 20%, no big deal USDA says. Needs to be 50% or more for wake up calls.

Haven't noticed a drought monitor for Canada yet like they show in the USA.

The is a huge variation in the NW .
A 30 min drive in any direction here reveals a lot .
NE of here in a dry pocket there is canola hit so hard by drought you can see a red solo cup out in the field at 100 yards.... and it flowering .
Go 15 - 20 miles further NE and the crop is ok , anouther 5 miles and there will be 50-60 bus canola - easy .
Around here , and it is what it is , decent crops are on decent dirt . Any lighter land is burning up .
But by next week it may not matter .... time will tell.
We may still get an average crop but we have gone since the end of May without much rain. Some areas around here are still below 1/2 in since late May .
We are running on fumes here for now .

I agree my great land is Doing awsome and yield on fields drop off after that with poorest going down hill. Next five to ten days will make and break farms.

Everyone relax when harvest hits there will be lots of pictures of big swaths and even bigger yields.

If it's just a crop then who cares about the end result....

In all reality there will be lots of disappointment in the future for many with this crop. I don't care what kind of land you have you can't produce on 2" of rain. Wow have we been to one each end of moisture extremes.

The real problems begin when that line of credit comes due. It may be just a crap but thats what pays the bills.

east central alberta crops are also running on fumes potential drops here every day now.Had 5mm earlier on in the week a slow drizzle.

[SASKFARMER3]

Yea this shit is going to get real quick. F$&king wind from the south sucking up every drop just finished spraying 10 quarters that had spots that look different in colour. Well by Monday it will be F$&ked.
So sprayer getting parked the fat lady is almost on stage.
Tomorrow guess the total production for western canada can you say canola shortage and crop insurance payout billions. Sorry Brad it's getting bad even if your lady that does he crop report says overall crops are good.

Yea good and frying up.
