    You two are funny! Aster yellow in canola and
    wheat you tell till its starting to fill or done
    flowering, then you realize it was all for nothing.
    Funny thing on the sask crop crap report McLean
    was talking how sclerotina is hurting canola, so he
    is telling every idiot you lost yield because you
    should have sprayed instead of you have a
    disease that their is nothing you can do. Yes their
    is sclerotina out their but the big yield robber is
    aster yellow and leaf hopper. That's a crop report
    not were at 20 percent done, if their is shit all their
    you giver to get the damn thing done and on to
    next year. I set my expectations way lower back in
    July. One note lots phoning terminal looking to get
    out of contracts, hm must be a big crop.

      Well when things go from bad to worse and worse to what ever is after that. The thing that gets me through is someone out there had and has more problems than myself so it works to cheer me up anyways. Thumbs up as this is farming.,

          Be thankful you can at least get what is
          there! Haven't even got the combine out of
          the shed to take a sample once yet.

          Been eagerly waiting to use the new
          stripper header but rain every two days
          makes it impossible.

            Bird eye already know ahead of what
            canola yield would be. Perfect tools for
            traders.


            Satellites see canola yields slip on
            heat, disease
            StatsCan satellite data point to 33.7-
            bu./ac. canola

            Crops, Machinery, Weather
            A slew of midsummer crop threats
            including heat, hail and bugs trimmed
            the potential of Canada's record-large
            2012/13 canola crop, preventing farmers
            from fully cashing in on high prices,
            industry analysts say.

            On Monday, Statistics Canada lowered its
            unofficial canola crop yield estimate
            based on an experimental program that
            analyzes low-resolution satellite data.

            The Crop Condition Assessment Program
            pegged the average Western Canada canola
            yield at 33.7 bushels per acre,
            producing 15.8 million tonnes, compared
            to its previous estimates of a yield of
            34.2 bushels per acre and production of
            16.1 million tonnes.

            In Saskatchewan, the biggest canola-
            growing province, yield reports range
            wildly from a dismal 15 bushels per acre
            to more than 50, said Grant McLean, a
            provincial cropping management
            specialist at the province's Agriculture
            Knowledge Centre in Moose Jaw.

            Wet planting conditions in the key east-
            central Saskatchewan growing region,
            hail, insects and mid-summer heat and
            humidity that invited sclerotinia
            disease all dampened expectations.

            The likely outcome is an average to
            slightly above-average sized crop, in a
            year farmers were hoping for more,
            McLean said.

            "Part of the disappointment is people
            were anticipating the high prices and
            expecting the big bushels," he said. "We
            were hoping for the double bonanza."

            Canada is the biggest producer and
            exporter of canola, or ****seed, which
            is crushed largely for vegetable oil and
            livestock feed.

            ICE Futures Canada's November canola
            futures are about $630 a tonne, not far
            off a four-year high. Prices have
            remained well-supported in recent weeks
            largely because of drought damage to
            U.S. soybeans, but concerns about
            disappointing Canadian canola yields
            have also crept into the market, traders
            said.

            Based on its closely watched farmer
            survey, Statistics Canada last week
            estimated a Canadian average canola
            yield of 32.8 bushels per acre, with
            provincial averages of 30.5 bushels in
            Saskatchewan, 37.3 bushels in Alberta
            and 31.4 bushels in Manitoba. It
            estimated canola production at 15.4
            million tonnes.

            The harvest is still in the early stages
            in Alberta, and the extent of disease
            and insect damage is unclear, said Mark
            Cutts, a crop specialist for the
            province's Ag-Info Centre in Stettler.

            "I think a lot of canola fields look
            quite good. It's just a matter of when
            (farmers) get into them, whether they're
            going to see disease and insect issues
            that caused yield loss."

            Manitoba's harvest is the furthest
            along, and yields will likely settle on
            average around 30 bushels per acre, said
            Angela Brackenreed, agronomist for the
            Canola Council of Canada at Justice,
            Man. Yield reports range from about 20
            to 45 bushels per acre, she said.

            Overnight temperatures on most of the
            western Prairies look to stay well above
            freezing for the next week, allowing
            late-planted crops time to develop
            before a frost -- which usually hits by
            mid-September.

            According to StatsCan's satellite
            analysis, spring wheat yields in Western
            Canada look to average 41.1 bushels per
            acre, with a harvest of 18.9 million
            tonnes, compared to its previous
            estimate of 41.5 bushels per acre and
            production of about 19.1 million tonnes.

                  Ifn wheat looks good, all over, which it
                  does, then wes won't starve this Winter,
                  which is a good thing. Unless its sold to
                  the highest bidder and all leaves our
                  shores, then starving a possibility. Oh
                  well that's framing. Potato patch looks
                  moderate ta good, THAT IS THE MOST
                  IMPORTANT CROP on Comedian frames always
                  has been, always will be!!!!!

                    Oh burbert who do you think the highest bidder is? Is it offshore or Canada? I suggest you hold a thousand bushels to sell to your city friends when things get tuff.

                      Burbert are you a union boss? You sound like a union boss trying to tell us peasants what is right.
