    Early seeding?

    I know soil moisture is excessive in many parts but there is a big area with no snow right now
    Open water on Diefenbaker?

        Show us east of Last Mountain(Long) Lake to the west side of Manitoba.

        There's snow here even on the pea stubble, albeit not much.

          Long lake is the dividing line

            Thanks 101.

            For some it may not be so much an early start to seeding but an early resumption to last falls harvest!

            Sorry to pick the scab. The wound probably won't fully heal anyway until everyone is finished last falls harvest.

              Yes, well there will no doubt be some crop of value to be harvested yet.....
              Canola=cash everything else is a tough go, either no movement or don't want it at all. What will the market for spring threshed be like?

                    Saw Drew Learner at FCC Farm Forum. His view is overall we are going to have a drier spring. We will still have the usual rain showers but "a good chance to get into the fields early!"

                      What are the risks in early seeding for you guys?

                      Poor weed control, to much moisture if its very wet after seeding wereas if you waited wouldn't be to bad, frosts ?? Does soil ever seal over on heavy clay and doesn't germinate or break through crust?

                      Thanks guys

                        Frost can wipe out early seeded crops here .
                        Soil temps can get above 5-6 C then go back below freezing .
