Friday Crop Report on a Thursday!

[fcr]

Furrow nailed it, we are 25 days now without a single drop.Lush crops shrinking everyday.Asked our farming son if he wanted to go to AIM, his response why bother.Hard on a young farmer to have three years in a row with no rain.On a positive note they had a baby boy saturday,so being new grandparents is very exciting rewarding.Cheers.

In my area of SE Sask we went from wet and late seeding to too dry. One drives a few miles and the crop variance is enormous as spotty thunder showers will keep a crop going and completely miss a nearby field. With the heat we have had, there is poor spots in fields that have had rain as the crop cant get the moisture quick enough before it burns. There is more and more ugly looking canola out there. I have sprayed more for grass hoppers this year since the 80's. Its gonna get worse once all the hay is cut around. I was late checking a late wheat crop that had a neighboring pasture grazed hard nearby and spots were ate to the ground a long way in (all in a few days). This cooler weather is a blessing for us as there is sub soil moisture here but the crop needs to get to it. We are doing some cheap fungicides to cereals but most have cut back on canola fungicides as its hit and miss most years even in wet years.

Just got Drew’s forecast we are going into a dry spell the next 5 to 7 days no rain! Are the roots going down or will it cause issues with shallow roots. Slow heat up we’ll do well. Fast heat up even the garden of eden will turn backwards

Won't be a shortage of fungicides.

Shallow roots, little sub moisture, lush crop, no rain in 2 weeks and hot temps. Crop cooked itself yesterday in front of our eyes. Next year country. Best of luck everyone.

Early canola was saying “fuk it” here yesterday , melting back into the ground
Tops of wheat and barley heads turning white
Canary is a *** disaster
Stools burnt off long ago off cereals and canary
Grasshoppers are atrocious
They won’t be able to use the “huge crop in Oz” bullshit on us this year , not that there is gonna be much to market
Maybe it will be a huge crop in Russia this year for the marketing scum
Yesterday really highlighted the problem , and it wasn’t even hot
Buy out forward contracts early, unlike some grain companies that we saw this year with oats , we can’t declare a force majuere

Early canola and cereals look nice here, but there are cracks wide enough to drop a beer bottle down. Soil probes show nothing left in the tank. Crops goin backwards fast. Grasshoppers have been a major pain. $5grand a case coragen now thats a business to be in.

Love those solar panels. The best solar panels in western Canada , with the bonus feature of huge carbon capture 👍👍

Can’t get a soil probe in here

Wonder how many farmers got caught with an early contracting mistake again this yr.

Canola market taking notice today.

A lot of shiny new equipment and $170 ac rents this yr. I think risk management is a foreign concept to some farmers.

Someone asked why we grow durum. Now you know.
