Geese are back in Full Force!

[SASKFARMER3]

Its great to finally have a crop and try new things to beat the water issues we have had over the years.
But then Mother natures rats of the sky come and have their share.
Yes I have phoned Sask crop Insurance and yes I have machines ready to go as the fields dry out from the weekend rains to get most before the blood suckers take a great crop. I mean its not hundreds of Canadas they make the field black in one corner by a big water area.
The Best Pea crop around might get eaten by Geese.
So here is my question for the day. Why don't we have a Spring Hunt open to Americans Canadians Natives etc. Aim is to take some of these out. What started in our area as a experiment to bring four to six out from Regina's big geese round up years and years ago now gives us Range geese. We have 20 males that land eat and head back south.
A spring hunt and fall would thin down the population to a more manageable amount. No insurance will make up for the loss. Sad to see but that's farming.
Geese!

One way or another, we all have to tithe to Mother Nature.

Reason number two why we quit growing peas

[SASKFARMER3]

Sask Crop was fair but a bit light on Yield potential of the peas. They were good on acreage lost so both should cover loss. I still wish we had a spring season to lesson the amount of new geese as the numbers they have are 10 in most cases.

A stand up tall variety of peas seems to be in order.

Geese not in the standing winter wheat all season. Soon as it came off the geese show up in the short stubble. Something about geese liking a short cut golf course, or park, where they can see a predator coming from 400 yards away.

Geese don't like straw up their ass.

Ever see geese land in canola stubble?

Rather think it might have to do with getting lift out of a tall crop. Wings might have to beat out a crop circle.

Would geese gobble canola?
