Drew says chance of FROST next Tuesday in AB and west Sk!
Now I see +4 Saturday night but after RAIN, so frost not going to hurt.

Better put any BASF herbicide back on the shelf except Bassagran

Had to giggle about 4 years ago BASF Rep was saying to beware of spraying peas if temps at night get down to plus’s 5 or lower for at least 4 days before or after . It clearly says on label , but anyway , I looked at him and said , so your products are basically useless until the 15th of June on any given year here on pulses .
He just got a blank look .... I said , well it’s the truth 80% of the time anywhere north of HWY 16. And by that time the peas are out of stage .
Plus there is almost always one cool night from June 1st to the 10th that never gets forecasted .... happens 80% of the time here. See all plus 8’s and 10’s for overnight lows , think your good to go then wam , one night drops like a stone to just above freezing out of nowhere. Peas get flashed yellow hard , and they have the perfect out to walk away from herbicide damage lol . I have seen that scenario many times in this area knock 25 bus/ac off , farmer left hanging and mad at the rep and the weather man . The odd time they will recover with the perfect weather later and just have 4-5 days delayed maturity and no yield loss , but that is odd .

Saturday night forecast low of seven here....that will be getting close. Tough call when the potential prolonged wet weather can put you on the wrong side of a herby app because of crop staging by the time you can get back on the fields. Sprayed May 28th...thats 5 days earlier than the forecasted low of seven on the night of June 2nd-morning of June 3rd.

I’ve got some nice rain on a third of my acres. The rest has seen nothing yet. I’m hoping that changes soon. But I’m glad to get something this year. I’m only spread out 10 miles this year is crazy here.

Hour North of Calgary. Pretty dry here, crops coming not bad but pastures and hay are in trouble. Lots of the poplar trees with the tree fuzz but little to no leaves coming.

Had a couple cool days now nice for working outside, bit of a mist happening tonight but so far none of the forcasted rain

Same here. Did everything wrong... sprayed viper pushing 6 nodes with the odd 7th till 3am in the fog last night cause I was otherwise tied up spraying striped flea beetles the last few days. Forecasted rain, if it ever materializes, would close my window.

Could have sprayed this morning, but last nights forecast was for rain to start around noon.

Low temperature of 3 forecast for tomorrow night...

Only thing I got right was the 6hr rainfast, so long as fog doesn't count...

Getting steady light rain and cool temps. here east of Edmonton again. Chances of drought this season just fell to 0% around here. Time to start looking for a good used grain dryer again though. Another season of drying discounts at the elevator and crop in field storage again this winter.
