The Fuz monster is here!

Just back home in canada and out scouting fields because peas won't go 20. High humidity is also causing issues! Rain bless someone else!
Seen on some soft white fields up to 50% gone but think those guys didn't spray!
Ours has some damage showing up 5%.
Still week to 10 days till roundup kills the crop!
What are others seeing!
Shitty f$&King rain can't leave us alone!

Drought that's what we need!

I have met a lot of unhappy producers but SF3, you win

Every f$&King year some thing water related gets us. May you be blessed with abundance and then tell me how your doing!

Tested our peas yesterday.... untestable. At 20 I think I would start grinding and use air to bring them down. We only have one combine so by the time we get to the short strokes on peas they will probably be too dry. I am concerned about the potential for bleach though(greens obviously). Some places in the fields were more mature than others.

Re Wheat and Fus. Well we looked and the odd glume is infected, made a call to see if it can keep spreading from that point/source. They say yes. My thoughts... if they are infected to the point of being shriveled up so bad that the combine can blow them out or they come out on the dockage...good! But if the infection can continue to infect kernels that are big and close to maturity and can't be removed---oh oh, trouble. Our wheat doesn't "look" as bad as some other years where you could see the infection on the heads from the side of the road without getting out of the truck... now we have to get out and look. I hope things end up OK. Call the ****ing CGC and get them to change "the impossible to attain" tolerances for the top two grades.... the Grain Cos have a heyday with those tight tolerances.... **** me!

Do not wish for drought. I am still scarred from the 2002 and 2003 drought. You can grow stuff when it rains, you can't if it doesn't. And put a damn smile on your face

Yea shit is what you get with excess rain! Drought years were the best ! 1980s awesome! Take them back any day!

[SASKFARMER3]

As far as a smile! 😜

I smile😀 When the sun is beating down and it's hot!

SF3..... huge differnce between "drought" and a "drier bias". Calling for drought might be a bit extreme. If you were still growing decent crops in the eighties I am sure some other areas were likely suffering from real drought.

Could we just agree, for once, neither EXTREME is good!

Kiss it good night and put the ****en thing to bed already...and hope it doesn't wake up again....the debate that is!

[blackpowder]

To this as in all things. Moderation.

[farmaholic]

BP....that was short and sweet.....and a little less "descriptive" lol

[SASKFARMER3]

Ok ok ok just redone poked the bear!

But to the guys who will lose 50% to fuz excess rain isn't a friend

Yes some sort of moderation would be nice!

[sumdumguy]

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

[Braveheart]

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.
