I think mostly wind. Sadly plant was only half podded when this happened and only the good areas of field had damage

Currently pouring just west of Brooks. Not a lick of wind either. Made it home just in time to get in the house without getting soaked.

Any hail? They said that storm could produce nickel size hail and very heavy rain

So how about them grain prices

Not bad. I got $12-14 for desiccation and $10.50 for fungicide. A bit cheaper than I thought. The cheapest guy said he’s fully booked and isn’t taking on any more acres though.

The yields might be pretty low but at least the grain prices are bad too.

Question on what to seed.
I am getting about 3 or 4 acres tilled up this week. Its a meadow in the bush and very rough cant drive sxs or walk across it.
Once I harrow it smooth any suggestions what to plant as a grass or something. We dont want it for hay or anything, Maybe mow it 8 inchs high once or twice a year with the rough cut mower.
Honestly getting it tilled because its too rough to drive across, no other reason
Thanks

Opinion: Canada is about to lose more than 100,000 farming jobs. That’s great economic news
Generation after generation, the share of Canadians doing farm work has steadily shrunk, while the volume and value of agricultural output has grown. This miracle is called economic productivity

Was just by there last weekend and figured you would be going soon Brett. Sucks that July heat was relentless. Last significant rain we had was June 29th and 1/10” on July 2.

Year 5 for us and I think this is worst year yet. Expecting most of the yields to be in the 5-10 range other than the chickpeas and durum might be in the 20's. Sure glad I upped my crop insurance to 80% this year.

Threshed some dry land canola in my hands yesterday. Probably the ugliest looking canola I've seen in my entire life. Seeds were yellow and green fly ch!t with about 5 percent black or brown and normal sized. Pods were brittle.
Started on some dry land durum yesterday but it’s not ready yet.
