Well what a week, Farm progress show was fun to attend and run into lots and lots of people. Since last weeks report it has been 2.7 in at yard. Wet but the last 1/4 was a blessing. We are full to the brim and don't need any more rain for weeks. Funny thing yesterday the crop finally started to look like it was moving forward not backwards. Fats will stay on sprayer for fungicide as a pull tractor does more damage than a few pressed down crop and no deep ruts.
So here it is.
Durum has started to fill in very nice, Yes my shitty seed is still a negative on very high yield but, its a lesson learned. Sprayed and ready now for Fungicide number one folicur on flag then prosaro on head. Hey were wet and Dew is really bad in evening and morning.
HRS is at the start of the flag and rows filled in. yes the water runs are still yellow but rest is looking real nice. Fungicide has to go on as it is soaking in crop.
Barley is filling in nice with very little disease yet. It will get a fungicide at the first sign of curling of the boot. Saturday is probably best spray day and yes rain is on the way.
Hopefully it goes north south or east or west of us.
Peas don't like water and wow is that a fact. Early flower is starting today and fungicide will go on with a little micro package just to wake up some fields throw the hail Marry pass or waste a bunch of extra money to put lipstick on a pig. My south half still looks like a 9 and needs to be saved. My East parcel is coming back or looking better last night. My west peas it is the hail Marry field.
Lots of guys wont be spraying as whole field is yellow. Not sure on peas but looks like could be crop to exit from next year.
Canola doesn't like wet feet either and wow I have 5 quarters that prove that. The rest of our Canola is in Cabbage or close stage. Reseeding at this time is a waste plus with rain on weekend mud is mud. But after walking the fields I have assessed that 100 acres is gone and not producing anything rest is coming along and will produce. All canola has been sprayed and second app on Most will be done today. Where the excess water hasn't had trouble the crop looks good. Still potential but with each rain its dropping.
Flax in area has yellow yellow spots and thinner than usual.
Lentils the few who have are spraying and hoping for no more rain.
Soy that's in looks good with second spray of Round up. Soy can take rain way better than peas.
Pasture and hay. Well cows have grass up to there udders and hay will be awesome. First cut by valley looked real good.
So basically the next week will be Fungicide from Air from the ground it will look like WW3. But real wet ok insane wet in Canopy.
So keep safe and remember its just a crop. Hell I even had to eat those words this week after walking those sick 5 fields. Stress is a killer don't let it kill you.
The ones at home are way more important than a crop they are trying to take. Look at the pea price how its dropping on expectation of a big crop. But ask the elevator company Agrologist what they have seen and you get a different answer than the buyers are spouting. Fun and Games its just beginning.
