    I dont know about you guys, but I enjoyed farming better when canola was $10. There is too much volatility and uncertainty. Even my accountant gouged me this yr.

    I also wonder about the health of farmers balance sheets. Many did not get a crop last yr, didnt get a lot of help from crop insurance and got reamed on the precontracts and then didnt have any crop to sell into the rally.

    Now somehow they were able to get another year financed and here we are with big time input expenses and crop prices tumbling and I doubt many took advantage of fall pricing in the spring with the uncertainty of the weather and late season.

      Anyone who had been growing Fababeans grow any or see any around.

      They did very poorly in the dry weather last yr. Here if you grew 40 but wheat you got maybe 10 bu beans.

      Haven't seen any in my limited travels.

        Chinese were cancelling bean contracts today down south so i guess they want to buy it cheaper. I gonna try that the next time I preorder something

I'd be nervous if I was a flax, pea or malt processor as this late crop means the odds quality going down every day we don't get above 20c.
          Yes sir! We are typically a quality over quantity production area. #1cwrs/cwad comes off mid to late August and the only issue in keeping it binable is heat! We are easily 3 weeks behind with significant 2nd growth potentially putting us into a late September start for cereals harvest.

          Wild to watch crops do absolutely nothing for 5-7 days straight with cool, overcast days then try to make it up on days like today when its 72-75° and full sunshine.

          Peas and oilseeds should be full flower right now... peas are just getting started, and oilseeds are just nicely bolting. If the tap shuts off and heat does decide to show up, harvest will be right on track as there's ZERO subsoil moisture, but if we continue to get maintenance showers it is going to be VERY late!

              No cereals harvested till September here. Quality could be an issue. Canola has not bolted yet. Some has only a few true leaves. A mid September frost would be a disaster

                  Less crop for statscan. The big white harvester came through 20 kilometers N of us. Extreme hail and rain.
