Canola Yields!

I guess planted for crop insurance since if using the never-grown till 10 years ago and had 9 great crops the coverage would be better than Star City or Melfort.

Be same thing here next year if it don’t rain this fall or next spring. I’ve never had 100% of the farm seeded to canola, but the coverage will be hard to pass up in this drought. Your move mother nature.....

Much the same as Lentils on Lentil stubble here... When you're farming crop insurance, it's by far the best payer! And honestly, if it doesnt rain, short term survival may very well trump long term agronomy.

Its a sad commentary that farmers have to do something like that to get proper support programs in the face of a disaster.

But can crop insurance stay solvent or have to raise premiums.

SCIC is probably figuring out how to cap coverage.....

From elevator email today:
Dismal numbers released out of Alberta for expected average yields. Spring wheat at 29.5 bu/ac which is a 48% drop from last year. Canola at 25 bu/ac versus 40.2 last year. Barley at 36.3 bu/ac versus 74 last year. Peas at 22.4 bu/ac versus 41.5 last year.


Getting closer to reality.
I'm not even certain these numbers are attainable.

25 bushels of canola will be a bumper crop around here this year.

This what the canola looks like between Rosetown and Elrose. Just about every other field is canola and it mostly looks like this.

Jeeezus!

Poor Canola 🥺 They mustn’t have got any rain.

That will be on the high side for Sask
