Ridiculous Heat

[silverback]

Environment Canada has had to issue weather alerts today for extreme heat in south east alberta.

That should fill some yield up.

Its still June right?

[fjlip]

June, cool wet month, unless that is now July or Aug, probably Sept after the crop is done!

[MBgrower]

I'd bet Omex would have a miracle spray. Sorry to hear about the crops. Terrible for u guys,from flood to drought in one yr

[tstep]

They are burning up on the west side of sask. 30 and a wind today making it tough. Weekend suppose to be hotter. 2002 all over

Charlie , Errol - how do you market that ??

[furrowtickler]

Should he go buy puts , calls , neglect to feed his family to feed the experts in the markets ??
Sorry, should not be a presonal shot at either but a reality check too all .

[furrowtickler]

Been there , done that - lost my shirt and almost my family and farm in 2000 to 2004 . Have not priced a bus and will not till harvest now - if it happens . *** the markets . Make the best of what you get when you get it . Not professional advice - just weathered advice ....

Heard a good one the other day.
Consider a foliar product with your herbicide. The roots are having a hard time finding nutrients because of low soil moisture.
Wow. The lowest stave in the barrel is water for petes sake. Any half assed weed control in crop now you know your spending insurance money. So far worst case scenario. Cash flow wise far far worse than 02. 05 was abysmal from frost and $2 feed wheat.

I heard a good one today as well - from a Syngenta rep .
"The recent rain showers have opened spores in the soil and splashed the dirt up onto the leaves leaving them susceptible to disease , fungicides should be considered but not in hot weather" this was after 8 weeks if dry weather and nothing less than 30 c in the forecast and one rain with a shower - OMG !! WTF..

[furrowtickler]

Three of the most effective fungicides in the world
1 sun
2 wind
3 dry

[furrowtickler]

Actually it started long ago - two weeks or so - with crops being written off in the SW . But I hear ya

What are you drinkin tonight Furrow on red wine myself they say its good for the heart but wish I had a bottle of cc or crown.

[furrowtickler]

Lol - simply not enough -but done for the night.

[farmaholic]

You can always pick it up tomorrow morning and get back at it...

Not spraying so there's nothing better to do,
but then again what is better...

[TOM4CWB]

Climate Change.

Is responsible.

Caused by humans.

They might be right (the happy go likely/lucky) Global Warming folks.

As you believe so it shall be.

Everybody believes now... Over and Out!

3B people to die... from heat... it says somewhere many centuries ago... written in the most published printed book in History... which clearly states where we are headed.

But it is now illegal to talk about this book...???Over and Out!!!
