Friday Crop Report for the last week of July.

[makar]

My crop.insurance average at 70% coverage is low 40s.

Mine is low 20s. No i have no new anything. New agrominists dont know why i cant grow your kind of crops its right here on the spreadsheet.

[makar]

My area average is 36.

Maybe , likely i am stupid but have told multiple people here you can grow a crop you cant buy one. Not rich by any means but they are gone and I am still here.

We combined the rye grass disappointing to say the least. Hoping everything else is better but still short on rain . Some of the later canola still a chance cereals are turning and beans need rain now. Maybe poor pasture is a sign to sell yearlings before the guy down south screws that market.

Double swathed fescue is barely a trail in the field.

Hearing reports of rain last night in several places , high amounts in southwest Sask. We had the usual 90% chance , with not a drop. Peas are coming off now and early cereals are being sprayed or swathed. Rye and winter wheat are finished here.i will try to get some yields.

I have no problems with the irrigation project. But if the cost is only, 1 billion and it covers 9000 acres, that works out to $111,111. 00 per acre. If its truly worth it, those that want the irrigation should be able to get a loan and pay for it. If the government truly wants it to go forward, perhaps they could give the land owners a loan to pay for it themselves.

I have a sneaky suspicion though that there are some in government who will be getting a high paid board position with Monettes and other who stand to gain substantially by this.

That’s exactly what’s going on there off taxpayers money for a handful of Moes buddies

We will probably get rain next week after this crop gets completely cooked by tomorrow night

I they are going to expand irrigation, and I’ve harangued on this before, let it not devolve into just hay and silage like in Montana. Give more incentive to higher value crops and plan infrastructure accordingly. That’s where the synergies will more than pay for the investment. Southern Alberta and Idaho you definitely see this. Montana is a white ghetto.

There were a couple spots SE of Swift Current that had 5" last night. A decent sized area had 2-3"
