Heavy rains through lentil area

[4GFarms]

I think there will be some issues yet. Lots of talk in manitoba of sprayed canola still with disease. Fuzz in wheat. I dont think anybody had the anticipation of the year and $$ to spray the amount required to save the crop. Just looking at application timing and how wet the whole month of July was (if you sprayed in early july/late June the days of protection would be gone unless you did mult apps). The industry can shove it as the prices are tanking and nobody knows the exact numbers before its in the bin. Although there are a few that need to put a sock in it on twitter that are spouting off huge yields. It looks bad as they may be high input growers but on a whole the majority of farmers would not achieve those yields in two years let alone one. But industry experts see that and boom, good bye prices.

Most all wheats and canola were sprayed at least once here in our area of SESK. Sclerotinia, and Asters both visible from the road driving 80kms, there are some fields that look to have 25-33% sclerotinia. There will be huge surprises out there this fall. Even with all the moisture, late seeded canola didn't bloom long after this heat rolled in. Lucky as much was planted as early as it was.

As far as the wheats go, no problem seeing hulls in the heads blank due to fuss, while standing in the crop. No need to bend over to look.

Lots and lots of aster yellow in the canola in our area.
I don't believe the crop will turn out the way people think.
I'd be happy if we hit average but have my doubts.

Either way our bins will be locked as long as it takes to get PAID for the grain. And I sure hope others will do the same.

I'm really getting tired of being payed less for more.

Is there an actual crop tour in Canada that counts pods and publishes the results at days end?

Oops tinfoil talk.

Wouldn't that be an act of transparency for the lentil industry. ?

Bunch of fools tweeting how good their crops are because they sprayed Monsanto or Bayer products !

A tweet says a thousand words !

Agreed.
It definitely does look foolish to show pictures of your canola after spraying Proline, etc especially after spending $17-19 per acre on a product that might not pay for itself.
