1st swathing fields in eastern Sask

sorry about your friend Ron

My day job is very safe - it makes you realize how unsafe farming can be. I would echo the comments here about taking the extra second to ensure what you're doing is OK.

Crops are sure advancing with this heat. Every day they lose a bit more green. I think we'll be swathing canola this week west of Edmonton.

Heard of first peas in the Muenster area going 60 , heard this second hand from someone getting parts this morning so take it for what its worth. We are 3-4 days away from peas, a week away from barley and a week from swathing canola. There is some canola going down but it looks awfully green to me, brown tinge on top but grass green underneath.

Winter wheat comming off here, 1/2 of the yeild copmpared to last year. Peas anywhere from 10-40. We have some canola ready but will wait two days for this extreme heat to pass by. The Victory 1036 is full of off types, what a garbage canola variety, short - no standability and the grass green 6-7ft tall off types. Terrible genetics, Cargil said the will not discount the green seed - we will see. Definately not worth the premium they pay.
