Frost advisory for tonight.

[jake550]

Here we go....
Good luck to all in the frost advisory area.
5-7 more good warm days is all we needed. Wasn't to be...
Hope it helps the price.

Another week here would be nice. Not looking good at all though. Hope the fact I am on higher ground than the surrounding area helps some ike it has in the past. Canola is swathable at least now, if it weren't for water running in the fields, so it should be fairly safe. Don't know about the fabas though.

They sure changed the foreast lows as the day went along. From 5, to 3, to 2 and now 0. Corn in garden just getting ready. Kids pumpkins will get covered....

I HATE the first fall frost. Hate it. It is so wet, maybe that will help? Like creeks are running like spring runoff kind of soaking wet.

Won't know until a few days pass.

[grrrr]

Must be a full moon on another planet 'cause there isn't one here.

I have heard stories from 04 that's there were crops in the Moosomin area were soaking wet from the rain, went down to -3/-4, did not effect it at all, they had 50 bushel canola that year.

So yes, I think it helps a lot free wheat.

Fingers crossed.

I have a helleva crop coming. Thinking I won't loose much yield at all. I checked it today and I didn't find many seeds that were not firm. Greens would be a issue though.

We will see!

Coldest overnight temps here per month
April - within 1 day of full moon
May - within 3 days of full moon
June - was 4 days
July - was 4 days
Aug - was 4 days
Sept YTBD but my guess it will be close to the 27th .
The coolest nights have always been within the full moon phase for as long as I can remember in this area - not always frost during summer but almost always coolest.
Maybe I should just not pay attention and listen to the "experts" - that turns out great in all other aspects of farming - lol.

I wonder how that worked out for guys that spent $150/ac on fert at or before seeding in drought areas on "expert" opinions? Not digging the farmers but it's the "experts" in any field that usually have an agenda behind their opinions and or recommendations. I have none, other than what I see first hand and after many years of being "weathered".
These weather experts have been not even close for the most part all year.
Drew was close with a drier than normal basis for May, June, July - I will give him that - but he did not state it would be near record dry during that period in many areas. Did he call for a very wet Sept ? Not sure, just asking , cause it's gona be. Drew has been the closest out of all though the past 4 years.
Expert opinions are like assholes - everyone has one.

No wonder I can't grow **** all. I'll have to double my fert!!! Those rates would never pencil out here. Oh well I'll keep slummin it in the ghetto here where our fall risk of frost isn't too early.

[furrowtickler]

Lol - same here , no need for me to listen to "expert" opinions to get economical returns . But a lot do .

[farmaholic]

I'm the type of operator who looks for ways to save a nickel not spend another one. Point of diminishing returns, there are limits.

I think we will escape any frost damage this week. There wouldn't be too much at risk around here anyway.

I hope it stays away for a couple more weeks for those who are vulnerable now.

But a lot to better then you Furrow. You keep on top dressing with your expensive n top dress even thou it has failed on many of farms. But you're a dealer so it must work!!!! And power to you if it works on your farm. What I do works on my farm. Come on for **** sakes. You do it your way and assume because people have more expensive equipment and put proper nutrient levels down at a different time then you that you must be fricken God or something and have all the answers. Get your fricken head out of the sand and realize you're in a group of many many many progressive farmers in the area.
