All I have to say is Saskatchewan has done a great job on dealing with Ottawa on the Ag investment requirement for the farm plan part. Easy and quick.
Big trip this week for parts, Regina Yorkton, wadena, Tisdale, melfort and back to Regina.
I am leaving my canola number at 18.4 but it will only go up if we are frost free till middle of September. One section I seen north of Regina was just entering full bloom stage. Lots needed rain two weeks ago. Lots of pods but blank seeds.
Ok Ottawa is a shit show but WTF is the NDP trying in Saskatchewan?
Ok
Crop report.
Some newer seeded hay fields might get a second cut. Old fields are done.
Pastures need big slow rain entering fall.
Water in shallow wells getting low.
Hrs and Durum, are decent enough but without major rains the heads wont fill to there max. Yes the heads are bigger than last year lots of 8 rows but average is 6. Similar yield to 2024. Don't think it will be like 2023 big one. I'll do math projections this week.
L Estimating Wheat Yields
Grain yield can be estimated prior to harvest. Remember this is just an estimate as field conditions are rarely uniform. The general formula to estimate grain yield is:
For 7” row spacing:
Wheat: Grain yield (bu/acre) = (kernels per spike x spikes per 3 ft of row) x 0.0319
Barley: Grain yield (bu/acre) = (kernels per spike x spikes per 3 ft of row) x 0.0389
Oats: Grain yield (bu/acre) = (kernels per spike x spikes per 3 ft of row) x 0.0504
To adjust to other row spacing:
6 inch row width = multiply grain yield estimate by 1.17
7.5 inch row width = multiply grain yield estimate by 0.93
10 inch row width = multiply grain yield estimate by 0.70
12 inch row width = multiply grain yield estimate by 0.58
Oats is one crop that doesn't like it dry and its going backwards fast. Most grown in north so do the math.
Flax is done flowering and filling needs a rain.
Lentils are filling and podding good in our area with min rain.dicate some green maybe next week will desicate. Peas are similar. Few early weekend spraying.
No chick peas or fabas in our area.
Barley late seeded needs a rain, early could have been big but heat took some yield. Malt is a joke since feed pays more and if it is plump and lots of energy better feed better meat. The beer market is a joke.
Canola the hurt has been done no massive yields lots of growth stages and if yours decides to reflower or is full flower I think the clock is against you.
I am sticking with my estimate. I think real Canola growers know that if they are as a example melfort Tisdale area a massive 75 is more like a 52.5 this year, or 30% of normal. Given seeded acres lower. Plus the huge Canola areas in man, Sask and some of Alberta are dry. Second growth and dryer areas seeded less after years of wrecks. The math says 18.4. They are ****ing guys on basis and they know it. Harvest pressure my ass. No real crop insurance payout just average.
Combines are the hot topic, Good deals but your trade isn't worth **** all. Auction sale minus 30%.
Land will hold as investors always find a guy willing to risk it all.
Rain happened on Tuesday but 2.5 inches projected only gave us 3/4 down to 2/10.
Today till Sunday same projection last night now just 1.2 in.
Exhibition week is over so after this event its time to shut the taps off till end if October.
Sub soil driveways have crop but looks like they will come in sooner.
Experiment humid acid coated S15 has something for sure.
Half rate fungicides and foliar plus crop Aid shows similar to full fungicide by itself. But we are only year 3.
Always experiment because no two years are the same.
Healthy roots are so important in a dry or wet year.
Please tell us about your area.
Rain makes grain, down pours make mud. Lentils in mud aren't good.
