Friday Crop Report on a Thursday!

[Sheepwheat]

We ended up getting nothing measurable. Went to Humboldt yesterday. Oh my. From about five miles west of our place, to Humboldt itself, what was a promising crop is withering away. Beyond irreversible damage. And that’s just what can be seen from the highway. A normally very productive region. Last weekends rain and the high humidity is so far saving our bacon. But it has to rain and soon. Forecast does look promising. At least in terms of cooler weather…

It’s much the same as Humbolt in the majority of crop areas . That would be more “norm”

We're winning the small cell storm lottery here but it's just an interest payment.

Flowers still on today when I scouted and a much cooler day. 26C and cooler wind.

Should get some relief from the temps this week but need that shot of rain right now.

I will settle for just getting the leaves wet for a few days. Anything.

But hey
Look at the bright side
This will cure the imaginary fert , glyphosate, chemical shortages

Will it cure the canola-snow-canola FCC allstars from renting land at outrageous prices?

Poor canola crop this year means base price next year will put alot of farms in the $700+ range for coverage. Doubt the “allstars” are going to back off....

The trick will be who will cover them
Justin Solutions, Gars , even crop insurance could be in tough shape after this year . Especially the first two .... they tend to be insuring the 50,000 ac plus club .
I wonder how deep their pockets are after this year

I have come to the conclusion that unless it’s red yellow or purple on the radar you don’t get anything. It’s like the radar picks up moisture in the clouds and it’s showing green and blue, useless radar system.

First you have to have clouds...those are not very common.

Sure hope they dont forget about the guys that are way less than 1/10th that...

Neighbor cut loose the chopper today. Spraying all cereals. Folicur I assume? What does that cost? If it doesn’t rain, we won’t have moisture to fill what’s there at any rate.
