Seeding progress 2013!

[SASKFARMER3]

What seeding progress, drill finally after last weeks snow storm is able to move to the yard for repairs. Drill two was Saturday. Snow drifts in back roads but dropping. Water running all over the place and ground soft soft. Sunk the quad yesterday.
Seeding is 0 progress for our area. To the west of us and south of the valley probably by Friday. Were thinking next week at the earliest.
How's the battle going with the rest out their.

Hoping next week we can go find a dry patch!

In the south east its drying quicker that I thought it would, still a few snow banks around some fields. By Thursday or Friday we are hoping to go on some.

Its almost like were in two separate countries. Hasn't really rained or snowed in months, wind is blasting here again this morning. Wind warning in effect. Wheat is done. Corn needs a couple more days. Canola, a couple more days. One bunch of cows out today, the rest out Monday. Sold the last of the feeders last week. Waiting for summer. Hope everyone gets going in earnest.

dumb question dont you guys have to wait
for weeds to spray off before seeding?

snow water rtc rtc but still gonna sow in
7 days so no weeds germinate or you get
them later

sorry for my ignorance

[boarderbloke]

mallee, I think this year because of the lateness, guys are gonna roll when the land is fit. If nothing growing with the drill goes in, we'll deal with it "in crop".

[jamesb]

or spray it before the crop emerges. The hard frost we have had has limited the weeds thus far. I expect with the 25C weather this week we are going to see lots of weeks in a week. Heck we haven't been able to put water in the sprayer yet cause we would have to then keep it in the heated shop.

[freewheat]

Yup, if nothing is growing, seed and spray before emergence, or deal with it in
crop.

I know I never have, and never will wait for weed growth, or a specific soil
temperature. You seed when you can. The window is so tiny, no other luxury is
afforded.

When the water is gone, and the soil is no longer mud; that is when we roll.
