Good morning. Here’s your Friday crop report.
Seeding progress across Saskatchewan has now reached seventy-eight percent. The south is basically finished, while areas north of Highway One still have some work left, and north of Highway Sixteen has quite a bit remaining.
A key point many markets may be missing is that a large portion of both the canola and spring wheat crops are grown north of Highway Sixteen, where seeding if it continues into mid June won't produce a bumper. That late seeding will likely impact yields.
On our farm, we’ve reached ninety-four percent complete. Yesterday we picked up a quarter inch of rain on some and just over that on our other land. After three weeks of heavy rain, that means we’re going to be mudding in the last six percent.
Around the Belcarres area, most growers will begin spraying their peas Saturday or Sunday, with wheat spraying starting early next week. Many are also finishing up stone picking and rolling from earlier field work. There’s definitely stress on everyone still trying to wrap things up, especially with days getting shorter after the twenty-first of June. Some early burn off fields are starting to green up with the rain showers
My wife caught an early flight to Ontario this morning, so I was up way to early, so I guess it’ll be an early start for us on the farm today. We’re hoping to finish seeding. But it's spitting still at the farm this morning.
If anyone else has updates to add to this crop report, please feel free to share. Havea great day.
Oh the liberals have crested a recession. Enjoy and elbows up.
