Friday Crop Report on a Thursday.

You don't see canola like that in the Slum of the Ghetto. Especially the variety and herbicide system we're growing.
Sloooooooooow and darker yellow flowers....not the vigorous plants with the vibrant yellow flowers of the other two systems. But I hope to make it up on price on a respectable yield for what it is. Really hard looking at some.of the pics posted and comparing them to our "overall" crop.....but if I look hard enough I'm sure I could find a plant or area that could compete.....until then I'll accept what's here and keep my expectations low.

We like the Canola with holes in the quarter-size leaves. I have a patch I’ve been throwing the bath water on. I could post that picture. 😂

Apparently winds topped at 150 MPH
Luckily environment canada had warned us to wash our hands

Case are you in the Tisdale area? You had one hell of a storm! Hopefully your farm yard didn’t take the whole brunt of the storm. I always hope that any hail storm stays away from the yard. Would take years to rebuild everything. Good luck!

The high spots will make it up and end up worst tax year ever, or not.

Of all the grief farming here the only hail wreck was 1950, dad worked on the railroad and had to hid in a culvert, that storm did in everything.

I think it was 2012 here. Pounded the west windows out of the house, stripped the shingles off of everything, destroyed siding. Took rearview mirrors out of any vehicle faced east, and stripped cabs of marker lights. Crop smelled like sileage for a week. We usually get storms that brew off the foothills in the afternoon, and they dont get here till after the supper hour which *usually* takes the majority of the punch out of them.

1983 was hardest on crop and the YARD for us. Was late August storm. Standing wheat FLAT, swathed wheat welded to ground, swathed canola 40 bushels under swath. Those years we had half Polish canola, was all in bin. All new shingles, bin roofs all have the dents. trees lost leaves, some broken plastic parts on machinery. 2012 lots of crop damage, missed the yard.
