Friday Crop Report on a Thursday!

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

I thought the average rainfall in the Sahara Triangle was 11 inches so how could we be 40-60 percent with 1.75 inches?

SDG, we'd be at about 3.8 for the "year". I would have to check when the year starts on our weather station. Regardless, some of that is before the growing season which would add to the "reserve" and some of that 3.8 would have fell in such small amounts that wouldn't have done much other than "add to the total".

Got to a nice half section of our on good dirt lots of subsoil moisture and found bottom leaves sick thought drought crawled in and found leaf disease and bad. Flag still good and next leaf lower so sprayed. Can't believe in this dry year how it could be that bad. Halfs across road and mile away on both sides nothing. Go figure.

Saskfarmer, you call that a drought crop? Only in Regina!

Lots of good to excellent looking earlier seeded crops east of Regina.
Think of Regina exhibition as hottest time of year on average, should have e pretty good handle on our own production by then. Wet harvest and early August frost will be concern on quality.
Sloughs dropping day by day, that part can't come soon enough.

Cooling off the next week. But some damage to early blooming peas and canola. The heat Did push the crop on.

.....some damage? I have a hard time believing our crop will yield half as much as last year's!

"I" MUST have done something wrong...

Tweety those are the same crop pictures used for the flood years. Hahaha

Honestly yorkton farmers have to be the biggest pussies around. Whining and complaining about what might be my God when people are actually dealing with the real life reality of no crop at all.

Wiseguy. The "some damage" comment was reference to our crop. Hot, dry and windy has taken its toll, before and after the June 14th rain that will at least give us some sort of a crop. One more decent shot of rain, had it fell recently or SOON, would still make a difference.

I hate looking at it already, but there is definitely worse out there!
