Well I would say most are done seeding in our area. Few north still going. We seeded some Barley to dry out a area. Spraying is in full force as fricking winds are unreal this year. Not much rain this week helped land come back but damage is done.
HRS most is up and if you missed the big hail rain event you have a really decent crop. If you were hit by the shit show you have decent higher ground and yellow flats. Most have the wheat sprayed or just about finished in our area. Strong winds have made spraying a challenge. But the Case are able to go even in 70 km winds. Yea right what a crock of shit. Wheat at 4 to 6 leaf with tillers.
Nice fields a 10 poor a 6. Lots of anhydrous was leached and plants chasing nutrients. 80lbs actual plus 100 lbs blend and still yellow spots.
Durum is filling in nice now and might actually surprise. Spraying is taking place.
Barley early is a 10 and has been sprayed later is a 6 and still not sprayed.
Oats none seeded by us or just a couple by neighbours. One might be sleeper.
Peas are sprayed and dry ground look real good wet ground looks real bad. Timing of seeding also and the rain event. Sprayed next is fungicide at first flower which could be a week away.
Canola early seeded have issues lots of issues later seeded look awesome. Timing is every thing this year with Canola. Most fields are clean but Wild Oats came after the heavy rain. Flee beetles are issue but not enough to spray. Some rows are seen from road already at 100km.
Soy early seeded had issues with cool wet soil. Seeding to early can be a problem. Late seeded look good.
One Corn and it is looking decent.
Few flax you can finally see a row.
Lentils the handful that seeded look good but coming slowly.
So over all the crop with the most issues is Canola. All over the map few are 10s but lots are 4 to 6. Thinner than usual. Maybe shitty seed from Alberta as its smaller and maybe not as strong vigor. Just saying we farmers pay big dollars for this shit and some times were getting taken. Seed treatment is a Fricking joke you also pay huge dollars for snake oil.
So spraying is taking place like I said most are done seeding and pastures look like a 8 hay a 9.
Hopefully the wind slows down and the rain stays away and all will be great.
Stay safe and remember the ones at home are way way more important than any Crop that the companies are just going to take.
Farm progress next week enjoy.
