    Heavy rains through lentil area

    Heavy rains again washed right through the very heart of lentil country .
    The lentil market does not understand the scope of wreck that is happening . This is the absolute worst time of year for heavy rains in lentils/peas .
    And here we get even get more than 1/10 in of 20 days . We needed that one last night .

    A tenth rolled through here at about 5 this morning. Guys are starting to desiccate peas around here. We are a couple days away yet.

        You are probably right in alot of cases but could you please use a little more tact and diplomacy while you're rubbing it in! :-( Over...

        Some guys are likely fully aware while others are oblivious to the situation.

        Drew was babbling about more.rain mid-week. Now Environment Canada is singing from the same hymn book.

          Instead of price being #2 or better it might be Sample or better.

            I don't think anyone rubbing it in , it's just the reality the whole "market" must face . It's not going to be a huge record crop. It won't even be close and that's a fact now.
            We have been there with lentils - not fun at all.
            Also crop disease in canola and some cereals will limit this talk of a "huge" crop that has driven down prices - again long before its in the bin .

              The trade will now be saying "this last rain has now boosted yielded prospects to beyond record levels ever achieved ever before".
              Everything is a non issue this year. There will be a lot of contracts not getting filled this yr.

                Final nail in my coffin farmaholic. But actually that probably happened 2 weeks ago and I just didn't want to except it

                  Road trip into Manitoba, most crops Brandon to Winnipeg and south look pretty crappy. Too much rain has cut yield by 1/2. Canola in three stages, fully podded, blooming and drowned out stunted crap in the same field. Lots of Disease!!!!! Soybeans are short and stunted. Wheat looks ok but lots of Fusarium. Hardly any oats crops or barley. Corn and sunflowers look good. I think there will be a shock come harvest time for allot of farmers and buyers. This bin buster is not going to happen in my mind.

                    I said it since the trade said huge crops it's going o be below or average at best!

                    Peas flooded ugly.

                    Lentils right off'

                    Canola flower blast from heat and rain and hail.

                    Hrs flat tough shit to combine'

                    But the market knows!

                    Sweet F$&k All!

                    It's a game of drive the market low with bull shit predictions!

                    After farmers that need to sell fill orders and tell the rest won't take your crop since it's a huge one more sell them finally in May or June tell again how big a germinating crop will be'
                    We can't win the three that run this have all the cards!
