Wheat ended up at 18 bushels / inch of rain
Canola so far 9 bushels / inch of rain
Had about 12 in soil moisture to start with zero below that

Useable rain during the growing season will keep them guessing. That’s all they need to know
Huge variance in that every 4-5 miles
And in many cases within 1 mile on same fields .

Many areas had no soil moisture from snow and less than 2 in rain . And it shows unfortunately
Rains this past month did zero to add to yields in a vast area in western Canada

Record canola crush for July local grain co's didn't even call a train . Trucked in one side and loaded out on the other side into trucks at the same time. And some of that would be that $20 stuff that they making money on.

Did you have much for soil moisture at seeding time ?
Soil probs here went in 12-18 in then hit dry dirt
So some cushion from snow melt , some fields better than others depending on stubble

Moisture at seeding was fine do to being in an extreme amount of snow area.
Peas got drowned out by a very special cloud at the wrong stage. Everything else was too dry most of the season.

Has not been a great year for many
Yesterday was yet another example , heavy rain showers mixed with some hail came out of nowhere all through this area .
Getting very frustrating for many
Any wheat left in area was just barely dry again before rains . None were forecast

So hard to judge here.
Top 4 inches were dry last fall but then heaps of snow last winter. When the snow melted some soaked in and rewetted the top 4 inches but most of that melt ran off. The top dried off just enough to plant a crop then 3 inches of rain hit at the end of May. Some of this rain rewetted the top but most rain off.
Just small rains after that with the driest spell middle June to middle July and remaining dry.
The 3 inch rain at the end of May really hurt yield!
