Friday Crop Report!

[Braveheart]

Our grass is a crop so I like to report on it.

Pastures are abundant. But moving cattle to different paddocks right now is, like, dangerous. The Mosquitos out here are ravenous, and there are clouds of them.

Fungicide going on. Crop is very vegetative so heat forecast for next week is welcome. FBas Pea and Canola blooming. Flax just starting. Wheat heading.

Have a good week.

Mowing weeds now on headlands. Many CA Thistles to kill.

Cheers

Tom, we cleaned up our thistle patches with a WIK, even in-crop. It mounted on a front end loader and you just drove around and brushed the top of the thistles with the Round Up filled wick. I don't know if there are any WIKs on the market today.

Sumdum used to see different ones At the farm progress show. When I grew borage I was working on buiding a 36foot unit. Has tank hoses to each 6 foot section. Some steal frame built using large bicycle tires. Not finished. Everything in my shed. Anyone interested it it?
