North wind ..

[furrowtickler]

Not a good set up after a rain . The wind has that bite to it today . If it clears and is calm it will be close - prob too close

[freewheat]

But it is wet. Dry, I would worry. Would frost still hurt you over there?

[sawfly]

what was i thinking, i will never pre sell a bushel of anything again.
drought almost did my peas in ,
now maybe they are all gonna, sprout and rot.
what a business

[TOM4CWB]

Sawfly,

We straight cut so peas do not sprout and rot. Did you swath them?

[bucket]

Tom

Peas will sprout standing or go to shit standing or swathed. It doesn't matter just give it enough time with your glorious rains.

[JDGreen]

I have had numerous years of multiple rains on standing peas Bucket and never had them sprout. In a swath and they are sprouted in 24-36hrs. SMRT guy here just swathed 200 acres yesterday and swaths are laying in water this morning. NOT GOOD...............

[bucket]

Fair enough but have seen sprouted peas in the pod standing.

You might get a quicker dry out that way jdgreen.

You are usually earlier harvesting in august do that might be part of it.

[furrowtickler]

Time will tell , lots of reseeded canola here , depends on what variety was reseeded and how quick it was reseeded.
Being very wet here will help .
If we miss tomorrow morning , should be good for 10 days.
Bran frost will be on all wheat , except a few very early fields .
It's going to be close is all I know

[bucket]

Oh shit furrow the fact you mentioned frost and it froze in calgary last night means the graincos will be downgrading for frost.

[sawfly]

their standing, i just assumed as wet as it is. why not sprout

[furrowtickler]

Lol - they watch forecasts closer than most farmers .

[jake550]

Our area needs at least 10-14 days without a frost or the canola crop will take a big hit.
Perhaps that would help the price.

[furrowtickler]

If it don't freeze tomorrow morning it should be good for a good 10 days

Tom the powerfold hoppers are a joke. Got rid of a 670 and traded it for a new 680 with a michels hopper topper instead, and way way nicer. Not only do they not resist >2mm of rain, the canola blows right out of the hopper on a windy day, the POS corner canvas's will fold over when full of peas/durum and grain pours out like a waterspout. Now like insanity states bought a second 680 with powerfold hopper and hoping for a different result LOL.
