Friday Crop Report on a Thursday!

[SASKFARMER3]

Grass you prove every day why you have no idea how crops grow in Canada. I stated if we don't get this rain the heavy crop will start going backwards. It's because the plant needs major water now to push heads bolt etc.
To those who got the rain, I think we lucked out. It's farming in Western Canada this is a reality in dry years one shot and you look like a hero. Miss one rain and what happened.

Yesterday's rain was weird one area it was over in a few mins. Next, it lasted an hour or two.

Good luck to all as it is a rain event day again.

Heading north to Stoon so will be interesting to see what the crops look like that way.

Yea furrow that would be a fun one to own or even just drive. Lots of stuff out there.



Maybe after the A and D are done a 6030 or 5020 like the following. They never came from the factory this nice.

Meanwhile in what is supposed to be the wettest spot on the prairies, we can't buy a rain. Lots in the forecast, but not much comes out of it. Drove to elevator yesterday, poured rain most of the way there and back, nothing at home. Was supposed to rain for days a week ago, got 2/10 out of about 10 little showers. On most of our ground, this isn't a problem yet, but have added some lighter soil in recent years, and it would appreciate some moisture soon. I think we've had over 3" total this spring.

Finally got a good rain here this morning - 1 1/4" since breakfast. We had 3 little showers totaling 7/10" since early May before this. A lot of hot winds that soaked it up as fast as it came.

The soys were pretty well stopped after emergence. Lots came up with no rain since and ran out of moisture.

Grass you prove every day why you have no idea how crops grow in Canada....

No, that's you with your continual stream of bullshit. You claim you only need 4 rain events in the growing season then you're whining when you don't get more. You claimed 10 days ago the rain you got was a 10 and some of your quarters were flooded. Now you're claiming it was 14 days since you had any and you really needed this rain. Don't think you have a clue...

Wheat seeded May 8th has heads peaking out.
Canola seeded May 14th starting to bloom..
Lots of potential. Timely rain will make it all good..

.77 of an inch so far, I think we could have got by without for a little while yet, but like hobbyfrmr says, when it rains I let it rain.... Things looking not too bad here. Some canola got off to a bad start and won't make max potential. Peas somewhat healed themselves but not completely, worst patches will never be "good". Wheat...the fools crop, looks pretty good.

As dumb as this sounds, I would have preferred a short dry spell. It looks likè fungicides will need to be sprayed and I hate their efficacy, spend alot of money and time spraying for "shitty mixed results". Mother Nurture will rule the day, I know my place. But is it right to fully concede and make no effort?

On the way to Regina for groceries we stopped three times on highway approaches because it was raining so hard, glad we never got that!

Hope everyone gets some of what they're looking for.....take care!
