We got into wheat here the last couple of days, mostly borderline dry. Got a surprise yesterday morning though when we went out at 10:30 and just started without checking moisture.

Exactly the swaths around too wet to seed "loon shit" yield fantastic! Now only growing cat tails.
Radar looks awful all over the prairies, darn few will do much today or tomorrow or Sunday...

Yup, the sunny forecast with highs in the mid twenties, has brought us rain this morning.

....and that was going back to the same field we started the late afternoon the day before.

freewheat, what happen to your peas? Did you get a header or make one up? How'd those peas lift off the ground?

Same here free wheat. Hope to get a day of custom spraying in yet once the showers go bye bye

Peas are still there. Am adding coulters today to the rake up. Hunted for a nearby header. My rigid header with lifters has a poor angle and I just could not get them off the ground at all. Those I did get were stained with dirt. Most guys have flashy new stuff these days around here, and there are so few guys who straight combine. No nearby dealers with anything. I can't spend my days hunting down a blinking phantom header. So rake up it is. But we have been having nearly daily showers anyway. No one has been doing anything this week hardly.

I tried the rake up yesterday minus the coulters. It is the BOMB for getting them off the ground gently, but with no coulters they wrap around the ends. No wet green weeds enter the machine. Peas pluck right off the ground like a dang. It will take a long time, but for me everything takes a long time, so no difference.

Peas look surprisingly very sound and bright yellow still. I just gotta figure out the coulter mounting.
