Friday Crop Report on a Thursday.

Think we should be in for an average crop for wheat and barley. Oats are a mixed bag and so is canola. We’ve had some rains at critical times and most seeded at the right time have got enough to fill. Thinking my barley will be not too bad and I don’t really know why but it looks decent but short on hills. Canola doesn’t have a bunch of blanks or shitty little pods but heat as of late is tightening up the pods. It will be tough threshing to rub them out. Have all hay up and most greenfeed. Have another day and can focus on getting swathers fixed and combine de-moused. Pastures holding on but purposely turned out late and under stocked in anticipation of a dry year. If harvest is early will probably wean early and send steers to town and sell culls same time. Usually high cattle prices cause people to expand herds but with drought, costs, and aging producers the opposite is happening. Even in one of the most perfect places for mixed farming cattle herds have been dropping off for years. Interesting times.

most of the canola crop is still thought to be in relatively good shape, according to reports.

Apparently crops must have really improved since we drove across the prairies in the middle of July. Must have been all the hot dry weather since then that helped so much.

Seeing and hearing of LOTS of ripe wheat falling over from sawfly, stem maggot and hoppers.
As bad a 25% on some fields.
Lots of wheat and canola being cut and baled.
Will be as bad or maybe worse yield here than 2021.
Glenside to Lake diefenbaker and across river around Macrorie is very hard hit by the drought and heat.

I think 22 now not sure we have lots of projects on the go. It’s become a hobby we grew into after my boys inherited my father-in-law’s collection and it’s just grows.
