Friday Crop Report on a Thursday Week 8.

[Rinker]

We are closing in on 50% done here. Wheat and lentils are in. Started on canola this morning. Definitely the wettest and cloudiest may I can remember. Funny how I can pray for rain for the last 6 years all spring to this year wishing it away!

Will see how this works maybe tomorrow..
ordered Tuesday morning, picked them up this morning, assembled then just got done installing..

[Taiga]

Not getting any rain here, 4mm since March. Finished seeding in April, grains are 4” high, but very uneven emergence since ground is so dry. Hard to say what this year will bring here.

Wet as snot here. Nothing moving. Worst May I have ever seen. Have seeded canola right at the end of May before but both those times it was harvested the following spring. Wheat that was mudded in is emerging slowly and looking decent where it has not drowned out. Called crop insurance to see if they are going to extend canola seeding deadline to June 5 like they have other years. They seemed clueless. Next year country.

Mud…..thats my crop report….

Thats with the top dried off. The last 7% is gonna be fun…..add another 1/2” of rain….

Thats not mud.

Anyone hear if the fella at Riceton is ok, that will be a large bill for somebody.We are fortunate,no poles on our land to navigate.A guy near us fell asleep and ended up driving straight into a large slough with the air seeder.Its only a crop guys,and still lots of time,with a little better forecast.

Thats not mud.

I rarely ever see the tires through the mud sticking to them, even on a dry spring, our clay sticks to the tires.

Good lord man, Considering how dry I typically am, I feel the pain. I have "enough" for now and damnit if I could, I'd send some your way! Nothing particularly significant in the last 10 days or so, but no sunshine, barely double digit weather with 80+% humidity during the peak drying time means I can't physically get the sheen to disappear off the surface.

Peas in... thats it.

Durum and Mustard yet to go.

If the stars can align I should be able to get two drills to cover alot of real estate in a decent amount of time, but now logistics of getting product to the field are approaching "challenging"... alot of land is serviced by bladed trails that have puddles that wont go away, and fields are starting to get spongy. A super B parked in the field is only going to work if I bring the drills to it, rather than the truck to the drills. Otherwise its two or three different trucks with light loads... Sanity is a highly valued commodity these days. from 6 years of dry to this is a total mind-phuck

Glad we started seeding wheat April 24 and it went in quick , good going ! Now into canola has slowed down, 1300 acres of easy going to go, then head to Assiniboine valley when its ready, another 900 acres. So sit at 85% done and wheat will be ready to spray later next week if sun comes out and warms up !
