Anyone notice the volunteer canola takes alot more frost.

Freewheat, 2009, November was dryer and warmer than October. It could happen again.

Volunteer canola in full bloom. With the shorter days it will probably take till March to mature but it might make 20.😉

Look at this string. It's title is, "Fricking Rain! Early this morning!" Funny.

Yup. 2009. STARTED combining November 8th. Got the whole crop off by the 26th??? After tomorrows rain, it looks like it actually warms up again. lol

I am hoping. Yes I need a dryer, or a second combine.
Thing is, you have to be able to put it through. Right now, it is barely possible to put through.

Again, hard to even fathom, unless you live through tough wet falls. John Deere used to send their prototypes up to this area, to see how they perform in wet conditions, no joke.

I envy what harvest must be like at Kindersley or Assiniboia, or Eston.

"Octobercide" . Thats a good one.

Hobby, I saw that term here, I liked it so much I stole it from them. I don't know who to give credit to, I can't remember who it was.

Freewheat,

You missed the point on Desiccation of Fabas.... If you do Not Kill them.... they may not die.... EVER... until the snow falls and the shatter out over winter...?

Reglone for seed fabas is registered. We spray by Sept 5 if we want to take them off in good shape.

Free I got down to 240 acres of oats last night left. If you were my neighbour and I was done I would help finish but to many miles in between.
Good luck.
Rain pattern is the same all year. Maybe it is a good thing if it continues as next year in El Niño we will have a great crop again. Hey its a positive for all this mud.
Cant get a crop off if all you get is rain then cool no wind then finally sun and one day then rain again. Repeat.
Yes Most are done in our area but their still are guys going. Harvest 15 isn't over yet.

Finished my Fabas friday. They were sprayed with Glyphosate Sept 15ish, there were a couple misses and they were grass green in those spots, frost to -7 and some mature seeds are black but the plant didn't even wilt. Seems the pods didn't open in those areas as the sample didn't change (but opened some by hand any the seeds were small, soaking wet and soggy)
Did a germ test on the kitchen counter and it is 80% right now, will it drop over the winter? I was worried about Glyphos and germination but...)
