Leaves are moisture reserves ...so if they are dropping leaves they are using up the jerry can in the box....to make it to the next station...

Where is the moisture to fill the pod?????

Yup I know , our reserve used up
Need a good rain next 72 hours or not much will fill very well . Been there , I know we’re sitting on an empty jerry can now .
Hopefully tonight / tomorrow

Canola still won’t get fungicide as it isn’t a bin buster. Hrs yes it is getting on later seeded fields plus barley and peas.

Yes you should see a blank for today when your looking at pods later on. The rain last night might save today’s blast.

Wet week next week looks to be shaping up.

Hope we all get a drink.

South of valley in early seeded wheat you could see different colour areas showing up on Friday.

Sorry ....I just asked ...so the lurkers and youngings/yutes....understand the enormity that about to hit them when they get in their newly leased combines and the deals they signed for new sprayers and drills next year....

There is a world of hurt .....coming...

Last nights showers?????

We have nothing in the forecast for the next 10 days....I have wheat that is 4 leaf ( it won't make it...I know).....want to throw some broadleaf spray on it but don't think its worth it....it will get roundup eventually....if there was a rain possible I would give it the fertilizer...but I have been waiting for a good rain forecast to do it...its not there and its getting late....this crop is done..I have to concede...

Sadly crop insurance won't write it off , I could take it out and reseed to winter wheat or fall rye in August...

We finally were in the right spot at the right time. A really weird cloud formed out of nowhere Friday afternoon and gave us 1.75 inches at our yard. There was hail but at that point I didnt care. Last night we received another .55 of an inch so we are sitting ok. It should be enough to give us a crop. There was yield loss that was obviously happening before Friday but this has definitely pulled our feet from the fire. Sorry for this report for those who are still waiting.

What qualifies as a full on drought to you....

You have probably had less rain than 1988 for the last few years. ...

2018 we had less rain than 1988 and used up the subsoil. ...there is nothing in the tank....

One big thing as well , we have had no real heat yet and lots of cool nights .
If we had even 4-5 days of heat before now there would be not much here

[SASKFARMER]

The temp difference between our area and north is really quite high.

Today without last nights rain would of set the crop starting to go backwards. Ground has moisture but top drying out.
