Could be bad news..

Meadow Lake -4, Spiritwood same, we have been below freezing for several hrs

[SASKFARMER3]

Seems like it was cold across all the north side of farm belt in Saskatchewan. Regina was just at 1

[Klause]

Dropped to 0 at 11 pm. Dropped as low as -4 from 4 to 6 am. Now it's 0 degrees with the sun.


That was a kill frost

[furrowtickler]

Yup , everything here froze stiff, canola already black and mushy to the touch in cereal stubble. Peas were snapping off

I've only literally been kicked in balls once in my life when I was young. Unfortunately, I get that same feeling farming. Between frosts, bugs, hail, wind drying soil out or destroying swaths or buildings, too much or not enough rain, selling grain, ....

I don't know why I continue to do it.... too stupid to know better?

Minus 2.2 here last night but at 7a.m. and there is still white frost on south side of shop roof. How can thus not do damage?

[SASKFARMER3]

Every day I wonder if I should still out and relax!

[cottonpicken]

Feelin for you guys hope it pulls through

[furrowtickler]

Making plans already to line up seed and extra drills - *** crop ins wait. I have seen enough frost to know when bad enough is bad enough.

[farmaholic]

I told people instead of spraying that field for bugs I should have taken the drill out instead. It wasn't too late yet, now I will monitor it and still possibly reseed it. Still earlier than when we finished last year!

Good luck fellows. My weather station said it didn't get lower than 4, skies just clearing.

[tweety]

furrow do you have moisture to germinate?

Here its so dry there is no point and with no rain in the forecast, well its probably over for this year.

Is it too soon to call it?

[farmaholic]

The Markets are headed straight for the moon. Bahahahaha, hahaha, too bad I sold last week!!! Canola, up up up. Tight ending stocks AND frost damage. Hold hold hold.

[freewheat]

Was 0 at 5 am, but there was no frost on anything. Canola has not emerged here quite. Only maybe half the fields have any emergence around here, cereal, pea, or what have you.

Sounds worse west than here.

How bad in scope is this situation?
