But if they seed greens, they will be baling them.

I had a production contract at Arborfield last year on small green lentils in 2023 that graded No 1. I have had several contracts for reds in Melfort that generally graded x3 over a number of years but also heard of No 3 being grown. All depends on the year. Any of the smaller lentils seem to be determinate enough that it has generally worked. Large green lentils would be a disaster.
I am around Hudson Bay a bit as my wife is from there. I gotta check this out this summer.

Just what we need more acres, more production. I understand they may not get a no.1 but it still counts as production and that’s all the trade wants. Keep prices down!
Look what Turkey did to the durum market, added 1.5 millions of durum in to the market. Now, we may carry that much in this yr.
Now with wheat in the toilet many are throwing their hat in the ring and growing durum. Heck they may as well put some chicks in.
Sure hope everyone is playing by the rules and buying seed from seed growers, like I do. Could be hard to find seed in these areas that haven’t grown these crops.

They have their own varieties that are much different then ours.

We're one day closer to a rain worth getting excited about...
Conditions here are poor at best, and horrendous if you're being honest. Snow pack was minimal, we missed the last snowfall, and we went into freeze up with awful close to 100% dry soil. Going to need above average rainfall in a very timely manner to attain a below average crop. That said, intentions have not changed all that much aside from a few last minute acres that really don't have any other option's besides durum on account of saved seed being low.
CWAD: just shy of 60% (typically shoot for 50)
y. mustard: 12% (typically 25%, but I dont have the acres that are clean enough to even consider upping that)
y. peas: ~28% (typically 25%)
Long range foreguesses look poor, but then there's a few long ranger's thinking this could be a 2016. I have my doubts... Fertilizer laydown this year will be awful close to ZERO. Dollars this year, IMHO are better spent on weed control hoping for better years down the road. Pre-burn, with broadleaf residual is going to be nearly equal to fertilizer expenditure.
Good luck all, and dare to dream! This from the guy that's "livin the dream" TM...
