Snowfall Warning

[helmsdale]

Trees are incredibly heavy with ice this morning. Lots of branches laying on the ground. Never seen "this" before in September. Waiting for the vehicle to nuke the ice off the doors and windows then I guess I'll go see if the crop is still standing.

About four inches here. Very scared to go out and look at my crops, the way the trees are hanging. As furrow said, too much hangs in the balance these days. Was supposed to be flurries. Riiiighht...

Are they seriously that ignorant???
There is still 90% of the cereals out in over 1/3 of western Canada..... most likely higher that’s that when looking at yields and volume .. and the cereal crop in that area won’t be touched in general for 10 days at least with of without driers .
Lol , oh well I guess “they” know better lol

Yep.I am afraid they were serious. It's all about talking the market down as I see it. Don't worry be happy. Keep saying it and maybe you will believe it.

Well according to Grainmillers in Yorkton cereal crops in Saskatchewan are pretty much wrapped up except the north is a LITTLE behind. News Flash. It's not a small area who have most of their cereal crop out west and north side of Saskatchewan.

Here in the south there’s still 20-25% cereals left out. I thought only the news people were morons.
So far we’ve had 1.3 inches since the keys were turned off in the combines. I’m trying to think what day that was already. Thankfully no snow!!
All the best to the ones who have had snow. Been through that!!
Furrow that truck in the snow is disheartening to look at.

Wind is getting up here now. Still misting and freezing. Tree branches snapping off. Standing crops just barely higher than the stubble beside it for now. Hoping the wind doesn't completely flatten then when they are this heavy.

Another one I’ve heard for the past week is , “oh don’t worry , it will stand back up”
Lol 🤥. Well every situation is different but I can guarantee the majority ain’t standing back up lol .

Yesterday there was promise in the forecast, was supposed to turn around after this snow. What a way to ruin a day by checking the weather!

I assume we will still get a window to get harvest done, at least most of it but could you imagine if this was it for the year for everyone on the prairies? What a game changer that would be.

Wife did yesterday..
The response she got was.
"IS THERE A PROBLEM ON YOUR FARM?

Next two weeks. Not a single double digit in the forecast. Last time I had this strong a sense of foreboding, was when I left two thirds of my crop out in 2015.

The strangest thing, is there is zero melting. First time I have seen this in September. Not snow, the lack of melting, the soil temperature actually has dropped enough that it is not melting. Nuts.

All the crop reports are ACRES HARVESTED, if 63% that is the S with poor yields this year. Bet that the VOLUME is way under half, but convince them how? Just can't be negative on any topic!
