    Friday Crop Report for the last week of July.

    Good morning.

    Back in Saskatchewan after our 2400 Mike Road trip to the USA.

    No problems at the border, very friendly and welcoming from all Americans. One very good trip. The media is full of shit.

    Crop conditions in most of South Dakota, southern North Dakota, Wyoming and some of Montana look good. If you seed later this year in some areas you look like a hero. Other areas its burning up. Nice and green except Cody, that's always dry.

    Sask south of Gull Lake close to the border on one side of the road it looks like the guy took the crop program and let someone silage or bale his fields the otherwise is thick and just fully headed later seeded. Looks like big rains went through. Some reflowering of almost dead fields.

    Border south of Weyburn up to Regina lots of just full flower Canola. So if we do the math these fields need till the middle of September without frost. Late durum also needs lots of days, will they beat the frost?

    Cold temps at night this past week we got at Abernethy down to 1C for a bit on Wednesday morning. Little too close for my liking. Shock of 2002 and 2004 when it froze on Aug 4, -5 from 11 till 7 am.

    Crop report.

    Wheat and Durum are filling but some rows won't fill to their potential. Different colour spots from poor areas are showing up. We needed one food rain this week to keep this one moving forward, now it's just fill to its best and next year. Some fields seeded end of April are starting to change slowly in colour.

    Rain this week was 1/10 to half an inch, the year of the tenth continues.

    Flax looks good but not sure how well it will fill. Had a good flowering.

    Lentils look great maybe we should switch back to growing them again. Then it will rain for sure. 2026? Lentils/Canola.

    Peas look good but they need one more rain for a super yield. Pods on top are dropping seeds from 7 to 4 or 5. Lots of pods per plant. Dedicating will take place on some pea fields this weekend. Ours are hanging on longer for some reason, neighbouring fields are done. Is it crop Aid full or fungicide or variety?

    Canary looks good but heads are smaller.

    Canola 10 days ago looked like it was going to rock. In areas that got rain still some potential but big yields are gone. Early seeded is done flowering and trying to fill. No massive yields this year. If your crop insurance average is in the 60s this crop is 70% or less. One good rain would have made such a difference this year but in the year of the tenth, it's not happening. Late Canola just in full flower scares me as one cold night can **** that up real fast. Crop needs till the middle of September frost-free.

    Yield potential or total production isn't 22 or 21 or 20 mt given the fact that the huge yield areas are dry. If it freezes look for 16.7 mt or less.

    Companies talking about massive yield I would avoid as they have no clue and want your product for nothing.

    On wheat are we getting real money for our wheat with the dollar where it's at?

    Malt barley price sucks and early barley will be down in production later that got rein could shine but also susceptible to frost.

    Oats need a drink and a loss yield is happening.

    Hay farmers all say hay yields are down.. Ok supply but down. Pastures needed a good drink a while ago.

    So to sum up the year so far it's the year of the tenth, cooler summer with cooler nights, no big rain system and if it does hit red it's hail. Green on radar is a joke, nothing in those events. Harvest has started in some areas others will be in the next 10 days to two weeks for lentils and peas. Wheat is 21 days away and canola is 30.
    Trump isn't happy with stupid Carney on the Palestine state bullshit he announced yesterday. If you think this group of misfits works for you, you're in for a rough reality very soon. Mass immigration is the problem.

    Have a great weekend and share your area.

      I would consider our area better than average. But its amazing how the crops have gone backwards in the past week, despite not much heat. If we got a rain in the next few days it would save an above average crop, with out a rain it will be average to slightly below.

      Just surprising to see so many white spots in the field from where a good looking crop 2 weeks ago just ran out of gas.

        Joey just summed up our area. I wonder if we aren’t neighbours ?

          Have the oat buyers actually looked at a moisture map thus year. If I was an oat buyer I would be in full on panic mode. The best oat growing regions in Saskatchewan are going to have half a crop if they are lucky.

          Same could be said for the malt buyers.

              Townies here all commenting how good the crops look. That's normal.
              I'd say a lean "average". Not an average of just the best years either. And yes, its starting to show here as well. Correlates with rain totals. Imagine that.

                  Yes rain makes grain and down pours make mud.

                  Can grow a crop on 1/10 every few days but Its just not a massive one.

                    I love how every new day the weather channel moves rain back to Tuesday and Thursday to only make it disapear the day before.

                    For us it's August 1 its time to quit sorting about this crop and enjoy the rest of summer.

                    Nothing is going to help much now other than a average to epbeliw average crop.

                    August 1 to me is my last day of caring and a time we move on to 2026 planning,

                    With insane fertilizer prices for no reason, it's going back to the basics.

                    30 days till full on harvest.

                    Changes I will make in 2026.

                    Use the new humic acid additive to fertilizer by yara. It did something with phos uptake from our fields.

                    Seed treat with crop aid but if its cold spring add raxil or others.

                    Seed Canola lighter by a small bit.

                    Cut back fertilizer by 20% across the board.

                    Full fungicide and crop Sid foliar in sheet.

                    1/2 rate fungicide on Canola and crop aid, maybe foliar.

                    Full roundup fall and spring.

                    Just seeing what works and what doesn't.

                    Done going for the max just going to be happy to be an average Joe.
