Had my first 20% get hit. Reseeded my first field 5 days after. It looked terrible. Left another 5 fields. Itll be 2 weeks tomorrow since frost.lots still had first true leaf green and looked like they'd make it. But looking today. Plants that were ok were just doing nothing. Not growing, and at a closer look, The stem is starting to pinch off really bad. And is choking the canola to death slowly and drying them out. It ain't gonna make it. Almost like dampening off but up higher. Anyhow. She's f'ed.
As stressful as it is..... I'd like to let everyone know, the easiest part was talking to the pioneer rep. I love having a farm rep at these times. And Monsanto rep was great to deal with also just had to get through a layer of sceptics to get to him.
So this is a shout out to the reps who I believe want what's best for farmers too.
I feel like there's enough complaining on here, and I'm one of them, so wanted to say something positive out of a shitty situation.
I haven't heard of a prestigious area other than pockets of southern manitoba. So I think a lot of us are dealing with a rough start.
Good luck to everyone out there!
