Friday Crop Report on a Thursday.

[Hopalong]

Missed excessive rains or hail so far, just enough showers for good looking crops in area.
Water table going down along with big sloughs that have been high water last ten years.
Still have August frosts to worry about, several years since last one.
Hate to sound too optimistic but think glass is over half full.

Ouch for those crops. The weeds in the bottom picture seem have made out ok interestingly enough. Did it strip the poplars bare?

Poplars not bare , they are stripped a bit .
That area got hit last year bad as well , but not like this .

I just completed the crop tour from SE to NE to PA Saskatoon Rosetown down to Leader and Regina and home. Let's just say Sask Ag and food and only a few have issues is a joke. Some 12 out of 10 crops. Some Ag reporters have great crops. But most areas have issues. This weeks plus 30 will not increase yield.

Oh, one knukle head crop advisor just stated over the weekend driving around the province doesn't tell the true outcome of what the crops will be like in fall. No, it doesn't but it sure lets you know that all areas have issues and plus thirty for a week or more isn't adding to yield. ****ing moron.

well, we are 40% done combining already , hail adjusters were very fair . think they were surprised at the extent of damage
spiked the canola ground
sprayed peas out
there is lots and lots and lots like that from petaigan to melfort

Sort of need a rain to finish the crop....although this week may speed that process up considerably with no rain for the next 14 days...therre are critical times for crop development ...this week will be one of them...yield around here will definitely be taking a hit...

Top pods will be aborted , rows on the head will shrink ...

BUT....WTF do I know....

Glad to hear your adjusters were fair
Hope ours are as well
Last time was decent, a lot depends on who the person is .
Some big areas hit bad now .
Is what it is in years like this , just like going to Vegas

Worked a quarter SMF, hardpan and DRY! In crop has to be drier, roots are deep, but our subsoil was nearly empty. The heat will not increase yield. Lucky those with a T- storm dump, Wadena got 1.6" in three days.
