Funny Australia going Balls to Wall Canada Up just a bit.

Gross marginwise its up there with most profitable crops in secure areas.

Will give you a run down on my ranch.

Currently doing a summer spray 1lt glypho and garlon at 80ml per ha.

Then when rains come another 1 lt glypho and possibly hammer.

Maybe grammoxone and treflan in front of seeder. 1/2 simazine applied.

Stone roll rocks.

Canola sown farmer kept seed first generation sown 2 to 2.5 kg treated with gaucho per ha then other half of simazine applied with cosmos insecticide.

A blend of map/soa fert 50 50 mix applied at 50kg

Post seeding 50 kg soa usually 3 to 4 weeks after seeding.

If season warrants it another 50 kg urea and 2 to 3 weeks.

Grass herbicide select at 400ml per ha.

Dessication 2l glypho

Direct head

Sell currently 505 port which equates to 470 plus on farm.

Yield not sure in bushels but hope for around 1 t ha

Better areas similar programme except more fert and maybe 2nd grass spray yield 2 to 3 tonne per.

I have 560 ha going in .

Which canola varieties can you use your own seed ?

Big wheel if you had half a f$&king brain you would realize I farm in east ne sask where the last 15 years plus have seen summer rain almost double. So yes we have adapted and changed things to combat this excess shit. Drought is not a problem here even 1961 or 80s.

I'm just saying as we have had to adapt to wet some who never have seen dry but their fathers and grandfathers have might have to adapt. The new varieties were bred in wet years and direct seeding is only as good as summer rain and snow replenish.

Water heat sunshine is needed.

Sucks telling the truth but it's a reality in western canada, wet dry wet cycles have always been happening since the first buffalo walked here!

[the big wheel]

Instead of insults tell us these plans that you do prior to seeding that accommodate both wet and dry possibilities?

What do you do that's so smart to out do nature? You sound like our dim witted crop insurance.

And I farm mostly drought. So if live to know do I maybe flip the bean seeds in one side or the other to lessen the drought. Hahahahaha

[the big wheel]

Those look like some of you're waterlogged crops. If I grew shitty crops like that I wouldn't post them. Is this before you learned how to farm too wet??

[SASKFARMER3]

Big wheel your a funny guy!

We had to do things different once the wet cycle began.


Now read that slowly so you understand.

Because if we didn't change some things we wouldn't be farming any more.

Yea we have some nice crops on well drained creek edge land. Tile is a option, ditching would be nice but don't.

Cycles is what happen the 80s were dry the 30s were dry it will happen again.

Cut a tree look at the rings and maybe you will understand dry and wet cycles.

[newguy]

so I guess your answer is you are just going through a normal weather cycle.My question is when was this Normal cycle of weather that you are getting last happened?70s 90s ??

[danny W1M]

The 1940's !!! Duh!!!

Check the records !
