Was in Stettler yesterday picking up parts. Started talking to a farmer I know from the Byemore area, he said they have had 1.2 inches since snow melt. I had heard it was dry but worse than I thought. I know 2 weeks ago before we started getting some rain how desperate I was planning what I was going to do if it didn’t rain. He said he normally has 21/2 to 3 years of feed stockpiled but this is 3 years in a row of dry weather. He is down to about a half a year of feed left. His barley seeded for silage is about 4 inches tall. He is hoping AFSC allows him and others to start cutting area crops for feed. He said he had a good rotational grazing system so he had grass until into September. His outlook certainly impressed me.

Not too shabby closer to edmonton, again any cereals are holding on fairly well. Looks like guys were just in with fungicides. Canola is a mixed bag, quite a few patchy shortish crops in bloom, but it also looks like a lot of later stuff is coming in the open spots. Not sure if that was flooded or just no moisture to start.
Conditions hold about the same until an hour from Lloyd and then its better most of the way to NB. From NB to Saskatoon to the Qu'Appelle Valley deteriorates quite a bit then pretty nice once you get closer to Regina.
Everywhere needs a drink.
Sure is a lot of canola seeded. May not be a bin buster but the acres might tip the balance.
Ironically some pretty poor crops right around the AIM site.
And I should mention, this was not a crop tour, just coming back from waterpark in WEM for the kids.
Get outta the truck
Less canola here than a long time
It’s a *** disaster
