Late spring

[furrowtickler]

furrow we have at least twice the snow pack of northbattleford .esp . my place
1 ft.- 1 1/2 on the level .drove thru 6-8 inches wet drifting snow on road last night,
2 ft. drifts.
could get interesting , real fast, with a plus 15 someday, equipment is dug out.
about all we can do for now.

Yes I hear a lot more out west .
We have considerable more than the immediate area around town but not as much as out west .
More to the north east but that is normal .

Very deep hard frost is a concern the longer we stayed covered.
2013 did not have nearly the deep frost .

Faba beans out. Just too late. Not sure what to replace them with. Feed barley? Bwahahaha!

We have enough snow that a 8220 John Deere will get stuck with 4wd on gets stuck either a bale on the loader.


As far as frost, undesturbed ground it's almost 5 feet down... Takes work to get thru it with a hoe.

May long weekend start here east of Edmonton like last year. Found that June 1-10 seeded canola made it so long as it did not flood out after seeding. That is where the green seed was last year. I had high protein feed wheat last year due to frost damage but the main problem was stress in mid June setting back the crop as a 2 inch on saturated ground set the late crop back. Amazing how spring like Edmonton is compared to this local area. Considering feed barley over wheat but wheat stand up to super saturated conditions somewhat better. Ground underneath snow pack is not as wet this spring as last.

Under snow, or bare ground?

In the field. With snow.


It was too cold before it snowed so it froze hard.

June 9 and 10 last seeding date in local area for spring wheat and canola, June 20 for barley.
Pretty remote chance not getting seeding weather.
Another month before changing plans but best to be prepared.
Glad to have good crop insurance and agristability coverage.

Hope to finish June 8 then...
