Friday Crop Report on a Thursday!

[danny W1M]

farmaholic, saskfarmer3 you are both wrong, Laura was not a solid stem sawfly variety. I know as I grew it 3 years. Beautiful stand of bearded HRS wheat, tremendous yield the first two years. Probably the best feeding straight cut wheat, we've ever had.(straight cutting since 1982)
Year 3, disease till hell wouldn't have it. Moved on the Prodigy then, also a good yielder, always high protein and good bushel weights.

You guys might be thinking of AC Eatonia, it was solid stem. Perhaps there was another variety released later, I can't say. I always thought that the solid stem varieties were grown in the west side or sw of SK. I'm on the east.

Mom was commenting on how good our canola looks as it is in the thick of flowering right now. I had to point out to her that normally on Canada day it looks like that. Wheat and barley are just starting to head here so I hope it's a long fall. It's either going to be average or a nightmare if snow comes on October 7 like last year. Way sooner deal with wet(although it doesn't seem like it at the time) than dry. Out tedding some first cut today.

Late on getting it put up due to humidity and showers every couple days.

Oh crap. Sorry for the mistake with the variety.....was I at least right on the deregistration? I'll check.

Thanks for setting that straight.

"Deregistered" may not be a suitable term. I think the CGC is just creating and moving a bunch of varieties to a newly created class starting 2018 crop year. Likely be a lower value class, lower gluten strength. Lillian and Etonia are on that list. Didn't see Laura on the list I saw.

Yes, Lillian moving to CNHR in 2018. Grew that one for a while.
Laura still listed as registered HRSW. Never had Laura. Neighbours did for years.

Look at the Twitter pics. Saying this is a 28 bu crop and everyone is giving them shit... Obviously a sub 10 bu crop lol!!!

Yeah, Saw a pic of what you would think was maybe a 20 bucrop and the guy was heavy harrowing it down. Yield was calculated at a big fat 0. Farmers should quit bickering and do a wheat tour of our own.

S/F, you have aphids most likely because the peas have a low plant sugar level .
If you added an alpine G22 with your fungicide chances are the aphids would not be doing 1/10 the damage .
Any of the liquid phos products like G22 , Kugler 624 or even releaf would help boast sugar levels and reduce the damage caused by aphids . Seen it many times .
Be interesting to see what your sugar levels are in those peas . Most likely below 8

Furrow that's a strip I drifted into and it's just flowering now. The rest of mine are done and will be desiccated Monday! Late peas have issues. Flax being sprayed. But for next year I'll look at it for next year
