Friday Crop Report on a Thursday!

[furrowtickler]

That big “billion dollar” rain event just helped established the crop , that’s it .
It will be average at best if no August early September frost .
If late August frost it will be below average.
Funny how they don’t talk about the billion dollar losses from early fall frosts the past 3-4 years ...
but then again reality hit this past winter

Canola has seen this spring cold then hot and windy then rain then followed by heat and bake then windy and cold and cold then windy and rain event that soaked some then windy for a week.

yea it's a ****ing bumper on its way.

Just listened to a member from the Wheat growers explaining his area. Seems there is a difference between the provincial crop specialists and what's going on in rural Sask. again this year Not just this crop reporting pointing out the facts. Politicians and guys selling crop info say best biggest ever after the rain event, Billion dollar rain that most didn't get and some got too much rain.

The reality is this wind and heat are taking moisture needed in July wake the *** up.

Try and make sense out of that ...the drought in ND and MT ends at the 49th ...

I'm waiting for the usual idiot to come on radio and TV and tell how big the crop really is that he has only drove by and never got out to see again this year like last year.

We were all screwed by misinformation.

[SASKFARMER]

I agree with Larry, guys in ND and even one X guy from agriville is posting from Montana they need rain bad.

In Canada it's so great how one rain can replenish ground that was bone dry.

Come on why cant we get a decent crop report this is sickening already.

Yes, rain makes things grow but once July hits and if we continue with winds and heat of July this is a shit show waiting to happen. June is one of our wettest months and all i see so far is fu king wind.

The fellow gathering info for the moisture map must have actually pulled right off the highway onto a dry dirt road for a whizz, while traveling near Maple Creek.

ALL OF MINNESOTA IS ABNORMALLY DRY, OR WORSE.


You guys can find the article on successful farming

Darn right on the EDGE of adequate!

[SASKFARMER]

Wind has calmed down now 71 km gusts

Reseeded canola fields blowing bad today in our area ,some good looking wheat fields but some look thin. Soybean fields looked better two days ago than now. That greenish look the pastures had is disappearing and grasshoppers are liking the heat. Some guys just got the last of the cattle out of their yards the last few days but they might not unhook the trailer off the truck if we don't see rain in a week. Can't spray but least got time to take salt blocks out to pastures , air on max

How long given everyone's local conditions can your crop survive without an adequate rain?

I give mine until Saturday and things start to go backwards...

[fjlip]

Variety of crops, cereals generally great, canola all over the place... first is Canola on canola, fleas took some







And finally Liberty on Roundup canola...a few greedy guys might be sorry...

Straight cutting really pays...



Last here is with 5710 at 4.2Lbs 7565

Probably the same guys collecting global warming data and canola stocks ....

Mid July, would start losing potential if no rain by then. Some acres sooner, some never.

This was started years ago for one reason. As a gov employee I never figured we farmers were getting told the truth about the crop.

I even tried in my younger days to be a crop reporter but was told we have excellent people and didn't need me.

Most are like guys on boards.

So yea the map above shows why I have zero faith in crop reports generated by gov officials or special interest groups or crop advisors that tell me about a huge canola crop and I should sell every bushel.


It's dry in parts.

4 in rain doesn't do anything more than fill low areas and runoff.

Wind at 60 plus takes more moisture than the rain gave.

Bugs, cold weather, mud then very high heat baked a lot of canola.

It's a rough start to 2021 let's call it what it is a rough start. Could still do ok if we all get a decent rain in the next two weeks the clock has started to tic this is the most important time for the plants its big potential or average to below at best.

or is it for some guys like finding a good lawyer to run around to about 10 till one bites on your problem and sweet talks you into thinking you'll win your case. Same with crop advisors and politicians and specialists. Anything to drive down prices for them.
