I hear this morning that AU cereal production now lowered to 29mmt down 30% from last year.
which means average was a bin buster in every state biggest year in history by fair margin

Bone dry and +25c for the next 7 days, not sure what’s coming but hopefully it is rain. Not even May yet. Green on the trees and 4 weeks earlier than last years cold spring.

Lots of drills going in far NW Sask already . Completely missed last weather system and had zero soil frost like most western Sask .
I think far NE Sask much the same
Soil temps warmer now than May 30 last year .

Such a different story here Our drill is still in a 3 ft of snowbank. Blew snow yesterday for two hours tryiing to dry yard up so cleaner can come next weekend.Bought a watermasterpump so we can start pumping yard tomm. if it warms up.In my 43 yrs. of farming this is the wettest i have seen for May 01.Looking at the 20th to start with no more precip.The BTO here have all bought a second or third drill.We are a month behind, so a warm, dry year would be great here.

West of Liberty ,Sk. We had 2 inches of rain last Oct then a foot of heavy wet snow first of Nov. so we went into winter wet, ground froze hard then lots of snow in winter.Add in the 18 in of wet snow last week. This week looks good for drying at least.

Yes vastly different from western Sask to eastern Sask .
If that forecast of being dry holds true , 1/2 of Sask and Alberta are completely screwed, especially areas that had poor crops 3 years in a row already .
Guys are seeding here on lighter land so they don’t lose the moisture that’s there now .

We toured the Wascana Flats south of Richardson/Kronau/LA(that’s Lajord), and we’re pleasantly surprised. We thought we’d see miles of water when instead we saw very little water. Big Surprise, give us ten warm windy days and we’ll be getting Crop 23 in de ground especially Lentil stubbles.

Will be lots of rednecks for anybody getting equipment ready to go here this week.
Still snow in the tree lines but mid 20 summer like temps will see some going here this week.
Might even green up some grass.

Sask is basically cut in half
West is same or worse than Alberta , east is for the most part in great shape . At least they will get a crop , even if they have a few flooded acres.
10 to 20% flooded acres is still 100 💯 times better than seeding corner to corner with barely enough moisture to get the crop growing .
It’s ok here now but we only have 1/4 tank of fuel to start . Areas between here and Stoon and south have less than that . Not a Rosie picture when commodities are dropping like a stone and little backing from the past few years .
If you’re wet , consider yourselves extremely fortunate at this point . At least you will get a crop with what you seed . Zero guarantee of that at this point in western Sask .

You can just bet some BTO will fill 10 of those thing in his yard and then fly it out miles away over everyone elses field.
Wait until one goes down in the neighbors crop. It will be shooting time and lawsuit time.

Lol. That’s funny. Drone spraying is the future if a couple or 3 can meet or beat a ground rig for acres per day and come in at less cost. $120000 per drone and 200lbs product isn’t quite there yet. Can see a cocky BTO stuffing it up in grande scale if they have the chance

The bigger ag spray operators are giving them a close look as it gets rid of a lot of liability hiring pilots.
A kid with video game experience replaces 1000 hrs experienced pilots.
Definitely need to understand and adapt to off target issues.
The Dustup days are long gone if you want to be successful in that buisness.

Spray planes are very soon obsolete imo, will take 5 years or so before ground rigs are as well.

canola progression pic or canola bean mix
Open canola so seed can be retained 1.8kg per ha seed rate 50kg dap/soa mix 70/30% mix
Will get a spray to knock out beans soon lontrel.
I kid you not free seed 200kg good initiative from breeders they get the $$ back in end point royalties.
Some guys got smart and got 200kg of each variety bred wasnt aware that was allowable so some got 600 kg of seed.
Anyway messy canadains would plough it in or graze with cattle but i farm in inside or the good side of "goyders line" by about 60kms a bit like your palliser triangle. Coastal showers save me in droughts 85 kms away as crow flies. If weather comes from correct direction were pick up nocturnal showers
