Ok this shit from the Sky is getting a little sick already. Since last week report add another .6 to 1.2 plus .5 plus what ever last nights yellow green and red gave us. This just in Over a Half again. FML.
Damage is happening and not liking what is taking place.
But on the positive side Cereals and Barley will lodge as soon as they head being so fricking thick. Canola and Peas not good and going backwards in the mud.
Farm progress show yesterday did meet a guy from Alberta who thinks if they cant get the oil in that pipe line why not send our fricking water to them. He was dry. Missed running into a lot of you guys who were attending yesterday.
Ok enough about the Rain here is the Crop Report for the week.
HRS is mostly all sprayed in area and filling in nicely. Minor disease is starting on bottom leaf. Our two varieties Carberry and Brandon look really nice. As soon as spraying Canola is done it will be on with Prosaro as wheat is going gang busters.
Canola this year is not our year for Canola. It looks like 2010 and water is running in fields if rain ends could make something but if continues yield will be low like 2010. All fall contracting is stopping as to big of a risk. Higher ground nice rows and filling in. Wet to semi wet thin and sick plants. Premature bolting will happen in those areas if heat doesn't start real soon. Our RR ready looks better so far But Liberty on Burnt or Worked ground still holding on better than Direct seeded wheat stubble.
Peas don't like water and this year is not a year for peas for us. I have so far one that should be worked down and a Half that's holding on and half that's real nice. Different amounts of rain. You cant bring something back when it hits the tipping point you just hope the Geese move in and eat.
Barley is on higher well drained ground on both half's and looks real nice spraying for disease will start soon.
Durum has rows is sprayed and next will be disease. Why did I seed Durum we will have to spray at Flag with Folicur and Head with Prosaro and then hope, pray talk to Allah or the Great Spirit or who the Hell knows to get the rain to quit.
One Corn field in the area that looks not bad so far on well drained land.
Soy we have none this year but the half on drive out that I thought was seeded to early then temps dropped is filling in rather nice and might turn out not that bad. Early seeded and missed all frosts. Timing, Knowledge or just Dumb luck.
So all seeding is done in Area except the large land parcel on the Res. That was lost by the Farmer from the East. It will now be all farmed by the new Chinese farm in Melville. They are seeding it to Alfalfa and Brome and will be starting up a feed lot and running cattle. Great idea hope it works.
Pastures are off to a awesome run. Those that added pig shit or put fertilizer on pasture cows will have grass up to there bellies. Hay land looks great.
Off to the Farm show need to find a water Canon that Can get enough lift so with a good strong wind I could hit those that need rain.
Be safe this week as spraying get behind and your playing in the mud stressed to the max hoping this shit will soon end. Oh that's for me.
Be safe the ones at home are way more important that a crop that the market will take and pay you peanuts in return. 1960 prices at 2016 doesn't work when equipment is now not $7500 or $75000 its $750,000.00.
