The Fuz monster is here!

Sorry Sf3, I will ask the rain god to cut you out for a couple of years. Drought is awful too.

You don't need rain to get fusarium infections. High humidity and warm temps at the wrong time and, BOOM!, fuzz city.

Methinks farmers are choosing the lake over a couple of passes of fungicide. The sprayers, helicopters and airplanes just slowed down here. They will be in full force dessicating pretty soon.
I went to the lake today, there was a couple of combines doing peas. I looked like very good crop lots of Hawaii pods on them.

Same as they did with ergot ... Now doesnt matter. Millions stole from us

If you never had it, is it really stolen?

[furrowtickler]

Agree wise guy - it's billions , Fukin terrible the way we get hosed from every angle

Of the multi-billions of dollars of "new wealth" created by Primary Producers, ..I wonder how much stays in their hands.

I guess all I am saying is go check your fields yes there is nothing you can do now but it will help with harvest preparation. Crank the wind or bring it all in. Sixty bushel straw and yielding 30.

Lots to look at.

You sure have small hands. ....


For a laugh only.

Our durum isn't standing at attention anymore. It's semi prone. We'll take whatever we get and be thankful we stand on the most productive dirt in the world - sort of. All we need now is for the tap to turn off. SF3, those pictures that you posted are depressing. You must have found the worst spot with the youngest Canola.

no , it's all good tweety, up until 3 years ago a small amount of ergot was deadly . now it doesn't matter since they have fus to f$&k us on . you obviously never had to get your wheat color sorted or cleaned or take feed for ergot . yea I'm sure they had our best interests in mind

What does fuz infection look like? What are the tell tale signs.
