Friday Crop Report on a Thursday!

[seldomseen]

A very nice drying day today but water still running through the fields here so it will take awhile yet before any field work. Most of the water had stopped before last Monday when we had about .08 of an inch of rain. Right now the forecast says 10-15 mm of rain Sunday and I hope they are wrong.

Is it running fj?

Just adjusting stuff, hurry up and waiting.

Last night going home i noticed lots were out harrowing in our area, Fields that were spiked last fall and wheat stubble. One guy seeding peas south of highway and another guy north started.

One guy on way back to regina had a quarter seeded. He was the first guy out of the gate last year.

Observation, and not trying to rub anyone the wrong way...shallow hay sloughs on our land weren't brim full this spring and the water has since dropped dramatically in them. Won't be much hay in them unless it rains a pile. In my travels I still see sloughs full past their usual bounaries...kinda obvious when the poplars AND willows are dead in the water.

Should be going but doing some heavy harrowing while its nice and hot. Maybe start sunday or monday. Trying to get some fields prepped so we dont have to stop mid seeding to do it. Lots of moisture for now but this strong warm wind will suck it up quick.

Got rolling today , one drill on peas the other on wheat. Conditions are good just a few wet spots here. Hopefully a good day tomorrow before the rain on Sunday/ Monday. Got some first day bugs out

Dad tried picking some straw bales out of a stubble field yesterday and was unsuccessful. The hilltops weren't too bad but the south facing slopes required the mfwd to be engaged and wherever there is a water run forget it. This field usually burns up in July since it's all steep south facing slopes. No point in looking anywhere else and it's looking like 2 weeks away for sure. Got some showers today with more coming tonight. Haven't even looked at the drill and lacking time and ambition to do so anyways. Still have combining on some lower ground to do and thinking it'll be next month for that..... best case scenario. Maybe just summerfallow it all and get ahead of the game for next year. Would that mean we are way behind or way ahead????

Durum and Lentils are in, all rolled. Now 3/4 of "precious wheat" will be done tonight. We hope to get a few acres of small seeds in before the rain. If it doesn't rain, most everything around us will be seeded this week. Conditions couldn't be better, touch wood. With such an early start, In a dry year, we could be combining in July.

Got going today I would say a little wet yet!

Looks a bit soft..One we talked to is only filling his tank 1/2 full..Sinking to much..ground like a sponge he said..

Our barley is already up. See the rows in a week.

We can't find a field dry enough for intended wheat so have put in some canola. Hope the wheat goes soon.

Those fields are like floating soil on an ocean. If we ever break through we might need the Coast Guard.

Holy shit batman, those tracks could kill a sprayer/swather or combine! Better NOT fill those tanks up!
Ours SAFELY in the yard... a good earth shaking thunderstorm with NO RAIN would help...
