Rain totals

4/10 near Kenossee lake

Over 2 in, 1st real rain from the rain snow in mid may. Too late for the winter wheat but despertly needed. Need lots of Heat units now to catch up.

Larry, maybe your buddy 'Drew'? was right. Most central and northern Alberta missed this though. I hope you get your fill very soon. I still on snappy if you are too much of 50 bus canola country is past recovery. I will peg the '09 canola crop at 27 bus/ac at 15.1 mill acres if it don't freeze.

2" 4/10, super rain. Sorry to the guys that missed it.

I would definitley be sold out of old crop canola, and have some new locked in. She's going to get ugly into the Summer early fall. Seasonally we should be tipping over.

Speaking of the rain, is there anybody in Sask or Alta that also had 0 precipitation out of this?? And for those that did get rain does this turn you to a bumper, or just save what you have??

Apparently none of you wet guys have any canola left in the bin. Maybe you should take out an ad in the producer to tell the world how big your crops are going to be now.

Does it also mean you now have grass to send our cattle?

Keep it up.

Not sure how 3/4 of an inch makes a bumper crop considering no subsoil moisture, most areas where it rained needed it just to germinate the crop. June 21 and try to find a canola field where you can't see the ground through it anywhere in western Canada, even in southern Alberta on the irrigated fields. Alberta essentially got none of this rain as well. In no way can you compare this years crop to last years. Maybe canola will go lower but it won't be from a 1 day rain in parts of Saskatchewan.

Lacombe
rainfall basically zero
Any later seeded canola is toast. It has stalled at 2 leaf stage. While Lacombe is still trying to survive on past subsoil, those areas that are a little further north and east don't have that luxury. winter wheat heading at 6 inches. No weeds and wells running dry.Forecast not good and time running out.

We have had 6/10 of rain since snow disappeared. Any rain now will not make a bumper crop, just maintain what we have. We did not get any this weekend. Lots of guys bought back Canola contracts last week.

Killam. East central Alberta

There will be no bumper crop here but this should make an average crop, we hope, if it does not freeze or hail. Easy silver, no one is spouting bumper crop here, just snappy.
