1/5 of Crop hit by really bad hail today!

Last night the gods must have been angry because north of us went purple on radar and one south of melville plus north of Canora. Not sure what was in it but wow. Get the hail up to max.

I agree because the market is not really on to whats happening out their. Yea right those vultures no their is going to be one small crop why else every day are we getting bombarded to liquidate oats canola flax peas barley etc. They know it and are trying to steal every single kernel before Aug 20th report. Then by Aug when the report comes out and oh my god wow only that much was seeded they drop back their prices because they successfully took the farmers grain and filled their short term needs.

Ill take baseball size hail as long as it is across the whole farm. It will be better return than the shit crop coming now.

Ado, did you get the tires changed on the sprayer? We have had great results with ours - stagger your wheels - back out full and front in all the way. May be too late though, we changed back already for fungicide and recovery control from damage from your neighbors. They have been very good about it so far - we will see what the chem rep says monday. attain and simplicity - huge problem! Even their wheat is toasted. I am going up in a plane tomrow a.m. to take pics - it's crazy damage all around.

Furrom. what do you mean buy a huge problem with Attain and simplicity? From drift or not being able to get your booms cleaned out for broadleaf crops?

I got some 20.8's put on for the second pass and it worked great. I only got stuck once and I kind of deserved it. I have some foliar fert to put on my canola that's already in bloom but I think I'll leave the wide tires on and hope it recovers. I sprayed some of my roundup at bolting and you couldn't see the tracks three days later. Dow had a demo plot with most of the other herbicides in it last year near Rosther, it was pretty neat to see how the different chemicals affected the crop.
