Poor ole Edmonton just keeps taking an arse pounding from the rain. Thot we were wet but we have dried quite a bit compared to them.

Last meaningful rain here was July 10 th
The further you go south the longer the duration and hotter daytime temperatures were

July 2nd was our last rain.
Have had maybe 5 days since then that temps were under 25*, quite a few continuous days of daytime highs in the 29 to 33* range.
Crops are trying to finish filling off some dew and what little soil moisture is left that shallow root systems can reach and pull into the plants.
Was spraying Bertha Armyworm after supper yesterday, Canola seeded May 21 to 28th looks decent to good from the road.
NOT near as nice from the sprayer!!!
Lower pods are good and look to be filled, middle pod area has lots of blanks/aborted pods, top third of plants have mostly burnt off and the few skinny pods that are there have no seeds in them yet and break off easily if you move the plant much.
Canola seeded early to mid may ( before the week of rain/snow) should be made now and do much better.
Any crops seeded after about June 5th are very poor.
Lentils are a mixed lot with adjoining fields seeded within a day or 2 having huge differences in yield potential.
Some are nice and nearly weed free but grew a lot of plant/foliage before flowering so not nearly as many pods as you would think, so sure how they will fill/finish.
Then there are fields that started clean and have the majority of the field now solid kochia 3 ft tall.
And some with a great crop of volunteer canola that looks like it will add a decent amount of $$ to the net income once it is cleaned out.

North to Maymont and east of NB

Last year we had a 55 bus canola crop off a 35 bus stand after a dry start and miracle July and August for moisture. This year we had a tremendous start and a dry finish, so what looks like a 55 bus stand I'm hoping will do 35.

My guess is at least half the canola acres in western Canada will be that way

All the way out past Melville, Yorkton, past Canora in the perishki belt crops didnt look too hot lots drown out, variable maturity, short, some looking very late, some looks like it never saw herbicide. 35bus might be optimistic.
