Oh how I love internet problems. Had report finished and went to file and internet drops. Now retyping as all lost. UGGGGG
Ok things are looking better with the weekend Non rain event. 1/4 inch is the first week since May long weekend that our rain events have stopped. Now only 10 miles east not so good and south of Valley yesterday not so good but for now its a little catch up, recovery going on.
Ok here it is.
HRS is on its way to be one of the nicest over all crops we have grown. The flooded areas died but their is no yellow ugly spots it was either die or go great. Most fields are Flag to heading. Early fields are getting Prosaro or what ever, next week will look like WW# with ground and planes dominating the fight on FUZ.
HRS is a 9 out of 10 just cause a 10 out of 10 is huge yield potential on all fields.
Durum is coming along and filling in and that nice deep Blue looking stage at flag. First app of fungicide done and second will happen at head. and maybe later. Because I screwed up with seed source its a 6 out of 10 but coming along nice.
Peas don't like water and water turns them dead or yellow or just fricking ugly. Some fields in area are a 9 out of 10 but wait they have never had peas before or rotation is 8 years on. Maybe something with that rule when its wet. I have one that needs a good hail storm or fire or tillage etc. Not coming back the rest are good and really good. So with the flooded field were a 7 out of 10.
Lentils our area has a few and guys should be spraying. Lots of Vegetation doesn't give yield just makes disease if it turns dry and then no yield. If it stays wet you bale a nice crop.
Flax in area is any where from awesome to WTF. Flooding is cause of WTF.
Oats we don't have but most that do look real good.
Barley is a 9 out of 10 with Fungicide going on or done. It is so wet in Canopy yesterday at 3 my tires on sprayer were still wet and shinny spraying fields.
Canola doesn't like the water, and the real bad fields were seeded the two days prior to the first hail storm that had over a 1.5 in of wet pea hail. Soaked in and thinned the heard. Early seeded looks great and full flower. Late seeded looks good and coming fast. Fields were recovering that had real bad damage but those have higher areas thick then thin then nothing. They are 100 km crop inspecting fields. Don't fly the drone over them as it is not nice from air. So 1/3 are real good 1/3 are ok and 1/3 are sick but might recover a bit if it stays dry side.
So 7 out of 10.
Corn, the USA rule "knee high by the fouth of July. Tells of early good growing season. Well the crop is at that stage.
Soy looks good on drive out and locally. Town has soy test plots this year. We took a sabbatical. Most fields are getting close to the Blue deep green stage in another week.
Pastures are 8 out of 10 or better and hay fields are nice not the best but nice.
So another week has gone by and that's to fact we have heat and missing the rain its actually been a good growing week. Plants recovered or died which makes fields look better.
So remember to be safe out their as its just a crop that the companies will take there pound of flesh and leave you with the scraps to pay the bills do all the work take all the risks and hand over the rewards to the buyers. Ah what a system. Watch lentil prices and peas and wheat and canola nose dive in the coming weeks.
Happy Canada Day!
Enjoy with family friends or just take a drive and see this big wonderful province, if your not spraying for Midge or Disease.
Be safe.
