Friday Crop Report on a Thursday!

[SASKFARMER3]

This is the field lots were laughing at me in spring as I was seeding and making ruts with the drill from soft spots in the field. I guess it worked out not bad.

Amarillo peas, week later should yield way more than my others, so far standing very nice. Seed stock 2018 for the farm.

Mecalf 80 to 85, Copeland 90 plus.

Yellow peas 22
Greens 18

First lentils 38. Better ones are later a bit.

Western Canada pea crop will be easily 30-40% lower than earlier predicted by the "experts"

[SASKFARMER3]

In the end I can't see how any crop out their will have record production in canada. Hell lots of time yet for more shit shows. Example guys swathing barley today and what's coming Monday and Tuesday for our area 25 to 40mm rainfall ah like malt barley here we come.

Currently our family is in chilliwack and the crops here look and taste amazing! We stopped by a u-pick blueberry operation and picked 10 pounds as a snack for the rest of our road trip to a cousins wedding by Victoria. $1.50/ lb and they're the best I've ever had besides the wild ones by home.

The corn is 6-10 feet tall depending on if it's got irrigation or not. Any of the hay without sprinklers is brown and not coming back. Quite smokey even by the coast and got to see trees lighting up twenty feet off the highway near Radium. Kinda surprised they let us through.






They use drip irrigation on their 70 acres of blueberries.

Our nephew is trying to sell his condo in Lonsdale to buy a blueberry farm in Nanaimo. They sell them all at fruitstands for $5/lb. It's an exciting prospect, sort of like farming in the ghetto, eh? Guess you can't take the farmer out of some of these kids. 🤗

Good on him. Hope he does well cause no matter what type of ag it is we need new entrants to keep the industry fresh with innovation and spunk.

Dessicating Lentils

Harvesting Lentils

So far Lentils coming in a little lower than expected. First 900 acres averaging about 25 expect the rest will be close to that. Rain showers every second day now. That's pretty much text book lentil harvest weather....

Canola crops around here I expect to be 25 - 30 bpa.

Durum looks good.

Barley looks to be about 30% less than last year and expecting protein to be though the roof.




Soybeans looking great loving the rain showers over the last few weeks

[sumdumguy]

I wonder if some of the growers will get their soybean seed back around here. No showers, just wind. I am surprised that they are even alive.

Sounds like pretty good yields to me...

Snow peas and cherries look to be doing well.
