Yields / in of rain over growing season

Test
Sep 9, 2023 | 08:31 1 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 Reply With Quote
Sep 9, 2023 | 09:24 2 The crooks are now wondering how many inches?

Oh man that was bad!!

SKF must have a big one then. 🤣🤣

Ok enough.

Sad how prices are tumbling.

Inputs on the rise for next yr.

Oh ya get your canola seed booked NOW … shortage coming. Special pricing .. only $60 bag higher than last yr, in two months she’s $80. Reply With Quote

    Huge variance in that every 4-5 miles
    And in many cases within 1 mile on same fields .

  • Sep 9, 2023 | 10:08 4 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 Reply With Quote
    Sep 9, 2023 | 11:22 5 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. Reply With Quote

    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 Reply With Quote

    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. Reply With Quote
    Sep 10, 2023 | 07:32 12 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 Reply With Quote
    Sep 10, 2023 | 07:39 13 Some hail in the same area as the June 25 hailstorm. And SW of Battleford yesterday as well Reply With Quote
    Sep 10, 2023 | 10:51 14 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! Reply With Quote
    Sep 10, 2023 | 13:20 15 Ya heavy rains in the middle or end of seeding never ever a good thing 👎 Reply With Quote
