Friday Crop Report on a Thursday last week of june

[Old Cowzilla]

We have barley starting to head out and turning white on top hummm think I might as well relax a bit too. Early canola still holding on.

Getting audited for sustainable AG WITH RICHARDSON.

I plant more trees than any liberal I just put in where its needed.

Later crops look very good early not as good and lentils and peas are nice.

Sand ridge first wheat heads are coming out I'm a little surprised.

Sustainable Ag. This caught my eye. Locally G3 and Cargill pushing this for canola to go to renewable aviation fuel in Europe. What is the criteria in your area Sask? Here no wetland drainage or brushing after 2008. Looks like the use historical satellite imagery.
My question is how will the elevator companies keep the so called sustainable canola separate from the regular canola from elevator to train to ship?

They won't is the answer.

Farmers wont gain a cent.

This is all done to protect them.

150 years ago our area had no bush because grass fires would sweep across every few years and clean up the place.

I think its a joke but Carneys deal with Europe we might see more bullshit Ag.

Elbows up.

“They won't is the answer.

absolutely that’s what this is about and it’s about targeting and punishing anyone , farmers, who do no not obey their ideals .
That’s what’s coming

Crops in area are variable from field to field and mile to mile .
That 40 day stretch of wind , very little moisture and a few frosts was the culprit.
In general crops faired ok considering, but now onto the vegetative stage and grain fill .
July will make or break this crop again, hopefully not a repeat of last year .
60% of the crop in this area has the potential to be average, 20% could be good , 20% will not .

This was from Earlier this week just south of Lloydminster
Very strange day , was only 11c when this storm unleashed a huge amount of hail ……

[SASKFARMER]

Spotty showers yesterday again that just settle the dust.

Storm last night , died before it reached us. Crop going backwards. Winter wheat turning white, running out of moisture.

I think you will start seeing that in many parts of Western Canada , the subsoil moisture isn't available to carry a crop to the next rain.

I think this is worse than 1988, when you factor in all the facts to farming these days.

And there is still the July heat to deal with.

There is some fall rye that was fully headed by May 24th around here. Heat turned it pretty quick. Looks like its almost ready for preharvest now.

Hate to even add here.
4" in June. Came at last minute. We'll see how cereals set seed. First cut forage literally mowed just to make way for any return cut.
Another weird canola year so far but the 60 mph report shows some potential.

Premium for av fuel
I live 20 miles from a Crush.
It's another company marketing strategy to encourage seller loyalty.
Basis no real difference than competing to export terminals.
Crush stopped reporting their "non program" basis. Actually terminals been sourcing for crush this year.

Also, it's a job to change streams in a crush plant. Equipment has to be purged and cleaned.

Another piece of tp with our signature on it.

Some good rains in areas that were very dry earlier , some areas still too dry and they are crop insurance already
