Crop Conditions!

[SASKFARMER3]

Well I have been busy doing disease control on last HRS and Oats and Barley.
We haven't had rain for over 11 Days and things are starting to dry up. Next weeks extreme heat may take toll on crop since we planted to mud and roots shallow. Oh well it looked to good to be true.
Canola all flowering early stuff starting to show signs of finished flowering. Late just started.
Pod blast will happen if have week of 33 plus temps.
Peas are starting to end flowering with potential but will depend on next week.
Durum headed to bad only have half acreage in potential is their.
HRS looks good on all except the heads are smaller on Midge resistant stuff. Not sure why.
Barley lets just say WOW. But heading now needs a drink.
Oats nice but not my best, still could do OK.
Flax in area is nice where it didn't drown out.
Lentils very few acres.
Beans one field look poor.
So assessment is potential is their if get some moisture before heat other wise potential will start to drop and drop fast. Flooded out areas are lost so need higher ground to have a good year.
East Sask.
One last thing very few doing disease control on Canola. No planes buzzing in our area. Windy and Hot.
Midge not seen yet but again to windy late night and early morning to check correctly. Headed stuff to late.

After a few years of trying and trying.
Disease control works most years in HRS and Durum Barley, Oats is ?
Canola Yes their is some yield advantage, but last five years average is 2 bushel an acre. Basically 60 vs 58 or 50 vs 48 or 26 vs 28, last years flooding wows.

No rain since June 27th and then late yesterday afternoon 25-35mm across the entire farm. Crops were looking for water as tell tale signs were just starting to show. Durum flag to headed is 10/10 and spraying all for rust. Wheat 8.5/10 overall at early flag. Seeded into mud and some fields are just not what they should be imo, still very good though. Peas 9.5/10, 2-2.5 foot tall. Thick and flowering. Lentils 9/10 flowering and podding showing zero signs of disease pressure. Canola, in full bloom for 10 days and bottom pods are forming. It is a definate 10/10 with big yield potential for this area. The deciding factor will be the heat going ahead. The crop in our area just south of Speedy Creek is well on the way to a bin buster. Exciting year indeed.

Each week FarmLink's 4 Winnipeg analysts
hold a conference call with the
Marketing Advisors in each province. In
addition to the markets, we discuss crop
conditions in the 20 individual areas
where we have offices, and then write a
summary of conditions across all
provinces.

We'll have a fresh one ready to go later
today. If anyone wants to take a look,
send me an email and I'll forward it on.
It's part of FarmLink's StrategyLink
package.

Canola crops here are totally awesome, Never sprayed for slerotinia yet cause conditions were not ripe for them, that changed a couple days ago, now fields too wet to spray for a couple days will make ruts not sure if need that. My wheat is still not midge spraying ready, there is a spray plane out spraying on occation not sure what but not a war zone. Midge, fung etc.
All in all, things are still a 10 here.
I am worried about my soft wheat looks awesome from the road but has brown stripes on the leaves, a lot of brown considering it is over a week or more from flowering. Half heads emerged. I understand could spray quilt now yet.

[T.N.T.]

We were thinking about spraying our canola,but after 3 inchs on tuesday and another 1/2 inch this morning,the high clearance sprayer won't be moving anytime soon without making a mess.We aren't even sure if we should even bother anymore,that 3 inch rain came down in roughly one hour,so a lot of the flowers are knocked off of the plants now.Heard through the g**** vine,a lot of crops in the delisle to tessier area are gone and you can't even tell what was growing there from that hail storm on tuesday.

Don't know...haven't heard a thing. I do hope nothing has happened to her. Maybe suckin' on a mai-tai (spelling) in Hawaii. Hope so.

I talked to Parsley about 10 days ago. Emersed
in writing. Alive and well.

[gustgd]

You can find her on Twitter @herrealname
she tweets "about" every 38 min 24 hours
a day. I check in every once in a while
but if you follow her she floods your
feed.

There's a rabbit hole you don't want to
go down.

[sumdumguy]

Rabbits like Parsley?

[BTOfarmallll]

Lepp is just a City Slick'n Minnownight from the City of Whinnerpeg. Knows nothing in Reality, but makes yous think she knows something causea all her Fancy Papers, Look at Me, Look at Me. You Cockroaches provide nothing but a Shit Service to the Farmer..........

[Braveheart]

BTOfarmall, it's a free country,except for selling wheat and barley. If you don't like Farmlink's services then don't buy them. There's no need for character assasination. Obviously their customers are getting value for the dollars they spend with Brenda and her team or they would move on.

When did the Tjadens move their farm into Winnipeg? I missed that one.

Nice to not only have an AVer miss me, but tell me they miss me, silver.And I've missed posting on AV. I haven't been writing enough lately, either, sumdumbguy. Been too busy for my own good. Have two others gardening out here but so far, I've done all the work on two of them, and a lot of work on the third. Eating carrots beets, chard, etc and have little pea pods and a few cucs the size of little fingers. Corn is coming out flowering fast. Judge your crops accordingly. The lilies are stunning. Grandkids came home for a week along with their sargeant major. Son in law also chose to fly out few days later.

Have a buyer for my old threshing machine, shedded and still in working condition. What's it worth?
Have an rsvp detailed inquiry on how the new CWB will work. Figure I should add my own twist on how it will work as well as how it is prob going to evolve. Any strong feelings? I find it difficult to want to share my conceptualization of how a new strong CWB would function as I don't associate the CWB environment with harmonious commerce.

Gusty, I haven't tweeted since July 6th. I sent out quite a few CWB comments, for sure, rather than post on AV, as I saw many highlighted in blue, indicating they went to cpc. Sorry to read you are discouraging followers. You were probably more receptive/attentive to my comments when I wrote about you, supporting you when you were running as director. The good thing, is you don't have to read any of my tweets.

Wilagro, the summers in Sask are wonderful. Should have the swimming pool cranked up in the back yard what with the hot weather, but didn't get it up and running this year. Needs draining and pressure spraying and repainting the cement. But I have been serving some fancies on the patio. Better come along and try one of my beverage concoctions. If you dare. Pars

[gustgd]

@parsley I didn't so much as discourage as say what happened to me. I was the only one to actually tell people where to find you. I never said exactly because to my knowledge you've never posted your real name or number. I may be wrong.

I did apreciate when you said nice things. Did not when you did not. I'm a big boy and got over it. We have different views on things, its a good thing too or it would be a pretty boring place.

All the best, when will the book be out?

[parsley]

gusty, my tweets are all posted as @CarolHusband and that's as real as you will ever get from me. And I don't recall you ever being a follower on Twitter,so you must be following a @parsley That is not me.Somebody already uses the parsley name on twitter.

And I agree we have diff views. I'm not a socialist. Nor is silver.

Writing is taking me awhile as the books are a series, as well as other writing.
