Just looked at the long range and maybe the early seeding and start was worth it because looks like we will be sitting till next sat at earliest. Sat snow, sun snow Monday rain Tues snow wed rain. Yea thats not very good. Moisture is needed in June not any more now. But reality is this is Canada Mother nature screws up the best intentions 9 out of ten years. So we were able to get to 10% done but what a struggle, New drill has lots of problems but I think Thursday we finally had all working since we were able to get three quarters seeded. Peas and Durum are almost done. Weed growth is minimum at this time so worrying about seeding. One guy spraying late on Thursday night Hm wonder when he will call Monsanto on that claim.
Now anything fall desiccated or after crop harvested is clean any thing missed has growth.
One neighbor has 24 quarters seeded. But that's one neighbor. Most would have started Monday. Looks like lots of pulses, Lentils are back in our area.
Local Esso Dealer seeding Canola. Few newbies are following his lead. These will be the same guys wondering why seed treatment didn't work in two weeks. Or why that germ was lower or why did it freeze so bad. Few have burnt ground black this year for canola to help with frost, I don't like to see black ground but with Canola it seemed to help with the frosts last spring. We will see since I have 480 Acres that the Reserve Burnt for me. Their has been three very good land sales around ranging from low of $100,000.00 a quarter to close to $160,000.00 a quarter for a section. That deal was listed on Wednesday and sold by Saturday. I guess the cheaper land would come to an end. Rent seems to be steady to slightly dropping. We just signed a new three year deal on few and it was same as the last term.
The fertilizer trucks are moving with no shortages Anhydrous is full swing. Price for anhydrous is 20% lower than last spring for those who didn't pre buy.
Lots of mu-dding will take place after this storm passes. Good luck and whats going on in other areas.
