Well what a week. It looks like its starting to dry up from the Road. It seems nice and dry as you enter the field. You get to the first higher spot then get brave and try to see what's out their and You learn to walk again.
First guy started seeding from Regina to Valley. Peas were going down yesterday.
South valley all way to city is dryer.
North valley no one even in a field yet. Now lots of talk maybe by the weekend but my guess is Monday Look out the shit is going to hit the fan. Warm weather next week all week and warm nights.
So seed is going out the door to most farmers as they finalize the seeding plans for this year. Still land deals as every one is waiting for the Big sale to complete and we see if its round 4 or 5 returning to farm or is it exit stage left. My guess they will be back some way some how.
Looks like Oats is going to really take a hit on acres. Guys are not even interested in Cleaning any oats. Barley is also not that high on their minds.
Now our area looks like this.
Peas 1/4 acres.
Canola 1/2 acres
Wheat or CPS 1/4 acres.
Taking it on acreage is
Flax
Oats
Barley
Soy
Lentils as we cant grow them.
But is the acreage above that different than what most guys use to seed about 10 years ago.
As far as spring rains basically nothing has happened here in weeks. Kind of nice but as a farmer your wondering if your wish for no rain is actually coming around.
Seeding will be awesome as most will be able to leave the tow straps at home and probably no need for a pulling tractor at edge of field.
Burning will be min as its getting way to dry and windy. We will do the Oats stubble and maybe some wheat before we seed peas.
So again its just the final days of April but Monday seem to be the start to Plant 2016 in our area.
Enjoy the seeding season and be safe its only a crop that really no one wants to pay you extra for it but they all want a piece of the pie. The ones at home are the most important part of spring.
What are others seeing in their area.
