Friday Crop Report on a Thursday. First week of July.

Hey Saskfarmer, what was the outcome of the green lightning trials you did or had access to last year. Couple guys around here tried it also but never heard anything good or bad about it. I don’t get out enough, I guess.

Fungicides literally stopped here after Monday on the north side of River .
near zero fungicides applied north of here which tells a huge story
only about 25-30% of the crops here were worth while , a lot in area never bothered
last year was a huge waste of money and time on fungicides

Last nights radar looked promising, unfortunately this morning only a trace in the bottom of my rain gauge. Crop are short and holding so far, smoke probably helping us the last couple of days keeping us out of the 30’s. Expecting crops to be near crop insurance levels if we can catch a rain soon. No rain in April or May, 4” of rain so far this year all of it in June. In all my trips this year almost all canola I’ve seen is patchy.

Almost identical in this area
1.2mm since June 30

We're on the edge of disaster here in our area of SW Sask. Alot of earlier seeded durum and canola are burning up, with the later seeded hanging on. It is short and thin, but still green with some potential there. IF we get rain over the next few days, and obviously more before harvest, there is a chance to get a below average to average crop on the early to mid May seeded crops. No rain would equal at least a repeat of 2024, with maybe even a chance at single digits like 2021. We did have a decent start and have had around 3.5" so far since seeding, but only around 1" since mid May. No substantial subsoil coupled with these temps and wind are sucking the life out of everything, me included

The crop here is short and thin and very uneven. Couple inches of rain at the end of June helped things move along but it’s really getting dry again with all the heat and wind. Didn’t spray any fungicide on wheat or canola. The wheat leaves are staying clean from leaf spots and canola is thin enough the sun can dry out the ground so I don’t think stem rot will be a problem.
Looking below average at this point especially if rain doesn’t come soon.

We are same as seldom, less than 3in. since snow melt. Very little fungicides even some lentils not getting sprayed. Lots of old crop still being delivered so grain companies are busy and don’t seem to be worried. Anyone else watching Ritchie sale today. Some cheap equipment being sold, sign of the the times we are in.

Was looking at a 8240 at Youngs , they are asking 357000. One sold today year newer with a few more hours for 92000.

It did as well as Last N in wheat at the fungicide option. With the extra 10 quarters, I held back on buying 4 to 6 machines.

Having good success with crop aid.

3 app process.

The guys have a soil product comingbout for alkali areas at Ag in motion and what I seen so far that's a game changer for guys with lots of problem areas.

The photo is a area we subsoiled last fall that grew piss all I think we have a compaction on driveways problem.

We are at an inch since the 1st of May. You can not grow a crop with only an inch of rain , no subsoil moisture, wind and heat. The formula does not work. Full bloom canola yesterday is green today.
