Friday Crop Report week 2 June.

[SASKFARMER]

Good morning flea beetles love crops that are just sitting with all the smoke. Found along a tree line bad damage but hearing some really dry areas are bad.

We need a major rain event in western CANADA.

Crop report.

All seeding is done.

Conditions are getting worse every day without a major rain.

Pulse spraying is done and most are onto wheat and some canola is sprayed.

Sundays spit was gone after two days of crazy wind.

Early seeded barley and wheat looks good and roots are going down..

Peas and lentils are short.

Most of western Canada is dry.

One last note canola farmers got ****ed last year.

The crop was small, china got us, crushers got us and stats Canada is useless.

Early cereals here showing big time stress
canola will be next within days
frustrating as everyone here got decent establishments but much like said in the other thread, the crop is stalled out now .
it’s at it’s detrimental stage within 72 hours
cereals already will be below average even with rain cereal
crops will be short and will not need fungicide unless it turns into monsoon. Even then most will be below profit margins so why throw more money at it

Just beans left to spray and cut first hay field. First year its a good stand about 18 inches high and thick but,but not blooming and already leaves dying off cause ran out of water. Friend is turning cows into his older hay field not worth cutting. Never gets as hot as weatherman says smoke keeps things a lot cooler beans are gonna pay for that they run on both sunlight and heat.

Rain in May gave us good germination. Dry weather after gave us flea beetles. Early this week we had a very hopeful weather forecast for rain starting today. That now appears to have evaporated. Cereals stalled, now starting to go backwards. Plain and simple, we need rain.

1" total over two events in May. 0 since. You get the picture.

Can you do the math with 3 tenths of rain since May 1st?

[furrowtickler]

.6 in since April 1st locally , many areas less than half that in NW Sask

[furrowtickler]

Vast majority of areas in trouble no matter . The winds the past month have caused as much damage as the severe lack of rainfall

South of Biggar crops are looking fairly good. April rain and snow saved us. All crops have kicked into heavy root development,and slowed plant development. Low flea beetle counts, 2 miles north of Biggar they are terrible. Second time spraying and some reseeding. New hay crops look good, older stands still worth cutting but quite reduced tonnage.
