Friday Crop report on a Thursday. First week in September.

3-7” inches of rain inthis area. Water running in the road ditches and water in low spots all over the fields. Very little harvested so far and many green canola fields that could be susceptible to frost this coming weekend.

2.4", wet wet such a big area this time. The humidity kills us, the HURRICANES? and 3rd monster comma system this year! Sit and spin that witch!

Hopefully that strong high pressure ridge in the central U.S. moves east and these systems quit flowing over the top through western Canada
Unfortunately a lot of damage already done from the past 3 weeks
It sucks tremendously to have a crop ready then lose it too hail , wind and or flooding right at or before harvest.
Crop insurance, hail insurance whatever helps if you have but it is still is a big blow financially and mentally
Last year was not fun , and then there is the fall out afterwards that most don’t see
extra field work from ruts , volunteers from hail , washouts , extra harvest time you don’t get back
all add up to a way higher cost than any insurance or ag stability provides .
but to the average non farmer, or government employee , they absolutely don’t see those huge hidden costs of these events
they just see headlines of crop insurance payments and hail insurance payments that sound big , and yes the government portion is very much appreciated, but at the end of the day none of that replaces a crop or the tremendous workload after the fact. Also farmers pay big premiums that get overlooked , some for decades without any payback .
that’s just reality

Extra time in field means higher fuel costs , especially this fall , higher wages , more repairs where parts are now astronomically high , more depreciation on equipment……That’s all part of it too

there is no insurance on all the extra costs and ag stability or any program takes over a year to kick in , if at all in some situations

Only good thing from weekend rain is got most of the hailed out grain on the ground growing.

Have never taken crop insurance. We rarely would have seen a payout.

I noticed they changed the rules on agristability enrolment. Never ceases to amaze me who complains enough to get these dumb$hits in.

That’s kinda my point , your buddy Chuck claims that we get this huge government handout every year at taxpayers expense. And it’s simply just another half baked one sided story
Add up what you have spent in premiums to your claims . Like most it’s minuscule, yet clowns like Chuck are on here blabbing that’s it’s some huge subsidy .
thank you for pointing that out

Not to mention the current Fuel and Fert prices, and not a word from you about Trump's war with Iran which is becoming a huge cost to all of us.Canadian farmers and citizens ???

Today WTI 95.00/b all becuase of Epstein's buddy in the White House.

Pretty sure a post was made that supposedly Trump's Iranian war has added a 20% to our bottom line, hard to digest that one based on the current weather situtation that has screwed up yields and quality and keeps pushing that finish line further and further away everyday. .

Really hard to believe how little is posted on Agriville on what Trump's war has done to the current Fuel and Fert prices , Saving Face?

This shows the shocking reality of how wet a huge area is . It’s mid Sept soon , prime time harvest window and it’s closed for half of western Canada
