Canola

Cutworms chewing through that priceless canola. Reseeding going on.

At least the trade recognizes this. Note the bump up in prices.

Flea beetles are a problem to. helix extra just isnt cutting it.

[SASKFARMER3]

flee beetles, cold wet muddy ground. This
year any place we seeded early and into
mud after the may long weekend rain event
nothing coming up in those areas.

[fjlip]

Concrete in areas after that rain. Yes patchy emergence.

Never fear...SuperHarper to the rescue.

For some inexplicable reason Harper seems to think that he should poke his nose into the so-called European Crisis.

The man's ego knows no bounds. Instead of pushing into affairs that are none of our immediate interest why doesn't he (Harper) stay home for a bit and look after the interests of Canadians. We have all kinds of problems and supposedly he was elected to work towards solving them.

His constant Globe trotting is annoying and I am sure that the countries affected by any financial crisis would prefer that he butt out.

Saskatchewan's corporate tax rate is now 2 percent. More people paying taxes. Mining companies paying for mineral rights. BHP offered me a rental deal works out to 10,000 dollars per quarter at max mine capacity at todays price, if price goes up get more money, for 45 years. What does this come out to for all the potash mines now opperating. Maybe the 10,000 is a dream number and may never come to be some how. Got 3 quarters sections to write up yet.

Isnt there a spray for that? Seriously, this time,
spray the bugs before they eat your crop?

[crusher]

Looks like "risk on" the last few days. Works for me. Sold some more canola.

[cottonpicken]

He'll print.

Not easy to discover cutworm damage before too late. I don't see any here this year yet but its time now to be checking. Also must spray at night when they are out is that correct?

[bgmb]

Here too, cutworms are bad there will be
surprises for the guys that scout from road this
year. We sprayed most of our canola for beetles
and worms got them in time luckily

[bgmb]

Cutworms, Very difficult pest to know if you have
enough to warrant spraying,

solution,

spray everything.

[Hopperbin]

Agstar you said the price of canola was priceless like it is worthless. You do not have a cut worm problem.

[agstar77]

Priceless as in the cost of production. I do not grow canola.
