Friday Crop Report on a Thursday Week 7

[fcr]

Our yellow peas the last few years have stood up very well. As long as we don’t get a strong wind with rain harvesting them is a breeze , quit growing lentils however.

Very wet just north of us now
might have to eat my words on the last 20%, said never ever been to wet , well , Gettin close now
Still not nearly as wet as some of you are or have been , but a decent problem for us considering the past 20 years for this time of year .
and yes it has been 20 years , 2004 , it’s called weather cycles

1/3 left to go as of tonight.

Decided today too rebuild the shaft bearings and a one way bearing that is used for doing your calibrations on a bourgualt. Had parts and it rained so did it but they shorted us a few pieces so back to town.

Late start with both.

Drill 2 has one more section of wheat and then I join drill one on canola.to finish.

Lucky number 13% seeded here. Some guys haven’t even started. Went from drier than a popcorn fart to mud everywhere the very beginning of may. Rain every 3-4 days, and nothing under 1/2” it seems. Will be switching out some wheat acres to barley if this continues. Mother Nature sure making things difficult. As much as we needed the rain, it makes getting the work done hard. Pastures and hay look awesome though!

Here challenging as well probabl close to 4 inches in may we are half done would like to seed in a bit drier ground but it is what it is. Still very cold here.

Its a cool, wet week near Regina. I would say 1/2 the crop is in around here and the rest will be delayed if it doesn’t quit the daily showers. No complaints from this department but I am sure farmers would like to finish seeding.

[blackpowder]

Wheat in. Canola looks like month end.

[blueversi]

30 percent done here just wheat in the ground and I think maybe that’s a good thing with the cold rain we’re getting. Haven’t been able to get to the field let alone into it for almost a week now.

2/10" yesterday in a small area T storm in minutes with HAIL, 4/10" today in light rain. Was rather sticky wet to seed Sunday, so be a few NON rainy days to be decent conditions. Most are 50-60% planted.

[furrowtickler]

Extremely variable here from next to nothing to an inch plus
they put more in for Thursday / Friday now again
will be a struggle to get done in May in some areas now
