Seeding Progress

[lakenheath]

How is seeding progress going across the praires?

We have 1,400 acres out of 5,500 seeded. Started with 500 acres of durum and then 900 acres of red lentils. Currently rained out and likely wont be back in the fields until late this week. We farm in SW Saskatchewan.

How are others making out?

we are at 2% were over 50% this time last yr.

Our area is less than 1% was probably 30-40% last year.

Here's a farmer who would have been better off to have stayed home planting:

0, 0, 0,0.

[newguy]

25% done. Peas and Canola.

[fjlip]

100% of ZERO.
Need weeks of rain free weather.

Roads are a mess, RM repair crews are sinking in frost boils in the roads.

Yards are spongy soft, fuel truck left ruts in yard.

Hey fjlip, I still have snow in the way of my fuel tanks!!! No joke. The yard is impassible for a half ton, been parking on the road. Drill is out on a knoll in the field, but can't get to it yet. Went over it good last spring and never used it though, so probably still ready to go. I don't see a fuel truck coming for a week maybe two... Somebody's gonna make some serious cash again this year, and it aint gonna be the east!

17% done, all HRS wheat. Conditions excellent NE edge of Edmonton.

[furrowtickler]

1/3 done, keepin fingers crossed. Some Peas wht and canola in. HRSW sprouted 1/4in, w/wht lookin slighttly patchy but good. Some feild good, next wet, it's a crap shoot. Good luck to those in wet areas.

Good luck to those of you in the west that are
getting a crop in.... You'll be making a tidy profit if
the weather holds!


As far as out here.... yeah, I don't think we're even
going to have a crop.... It's going to take 3 weeks to
dry out, and there's no way we're getting 3 weeks of
no rain.... I just can't see it.


The entire region is pretty much at 0% seeded. 1
field in a 75 mile radius and that's it.

We got to 5% done yesterday. Not fun at all roads are falling apart and its like last fall in the fields you have a spare four wheel drive sitting watching the Air drill. Its quicker than unhooking and hooking up the second rig. Anhydrous truck stays on Grid and runs hose through the ditch.
On land that should be dryer since it slopes to the valley. HAHHAHAHA. Talked to neighbor with a few more acres than me and he feels across the valley is dryer but big deal only 1/3 of his acres are their then its back to swamp. Even sand to the West of us is not seed able.
So reality for our area most will seed their best drained then all will come to a sudden stop as dry fields run out. One other neighbor to south will be in that situation in a few days.
Another neighbor is driving empty with his drill 1 1/2 miles back to road for seed and fert. He has a Little tank. So if the big rain event happens today well lets just say the 10,000,000. acres not seeded last year will be a dream to get in this year.
