@ryanwhitney6 Save % first 5 shots of game around 0.700? Gives up first goal in 75% games? Team still good enough to win in spite of him. Give Skinner a shot.

I struggle with mental health. For me depression and anxiety have been a lifelong struggle. I recently suffered an episode that resulted in hospitalization. I found help and will never let fear prevent me from talking about my experiences or condition. #BellLetsTalk

#ElNino starting to come alive. Latest data suggests better conditions for faster development. This will be bad news for #Australia, #Indonesia, #Malaysia and #Philippines , but could be better news for #Canada #Prairies later this autumn. #oilseeds #corn #PalmOil #corn #rice

My grain farm has lost 100% of the Italian durum market and our pulse crops face steep tariffs into the Indian market. Price declines of 40 to 60% for these products. And nobody is asking federal govt for compensation, not should they.

@LMcLachlan60 @Wally_53 @bigbushelsag @DavidKucher @FarmerFrase @KoreyPeters @shaunhaney @cigi @Grain_Canada @GrainGrowers For clarity. Change does not require us to change our grading system or harmonize with the U.S. All this means is that if a U.S. farmer delivers a variety registered in Canada they will have access to the same grade as a Canadian farmer. Equal treatment.

75-85% sold Durum on Aug 29th. #nailedit https://t.co/EjIOfA0Ikb

@Brian_Voth That is what we need to learn. What reasoning or subjectivity is applied? I would have thought timing of images and early staging of crop would have concluded low yields.

[Dwight Nichol @DLNDwight]

Not sure how I feel about satellite yield estimates yet.

[Brennan Turner @BrennanDTurner]

#StatsCan Aug satellite production/yield models suggest:

#Canola: 21 MMT (41.1 bpa)
Total #wheat: 31 MMT (46.9)
Spring Wheat: 22.91 MMT (46.9)
#Barley: 8.23 MMT (64.9)
#Durum: 5.7 MMT (34.6) <-- questionable
#Peas: 3.735 MMT (38.9)
#Flax: 511,100 MT (23.8) <-- also questionable

@Plantmore1 @CenturionFarm I think survey timing skewed it much lower than reality.

[Dwight Nichol @DLNDwight]

How about that Durum number? 27% lower yield than 5 year average. The rest of the crops 7% below 5 year!!!
