Start of growing season..

Even with 3 C thermometer readings; I now notice some frost on objects that didn't receive any radiant heat.

-3 here yesterday, 3 this morning.
Canola is just a few poking through and I saw no damage at 9am. Will check today.

Correct DRY frost kills, had that in 2009.
We had a few tenths of rain and soil is very wet under surface.
Grass was white and windshields frosty, but that means humidity which is NOT dry.

You should be fine, also we had a 15 km wind yesterday am that put the nail in the coffin on any canola in the 1st leaf stage. Even wild oats are torched.

Perspective - we have about 600 ac at risk from frost damage. Makin the call tomorow with the village idiots from crop ins. Not nice but I know one producer that may have to reseed 10,000ac of canola - it was all up and all on cereal stb. Not a happy guy right now.

Furrow, careful with the name calling. You may have gone to University with some of the SCIC guys in your area. Not a good time to be calling names, time to be a professional.

Point well taken...
