      Not so much blue plants here as a patchy mess, seems we had an overall better catch last year. Both years were a shitty start but there's something about this one... Buy $500 hail insurance and pray for hail? I'm sure it will turn out kinda ok...I hope

      Plane flying around spraying the local BTO's canola.

        Yep when the sub soil moisture is gone its not so easy to replenish. 9 inches in 9 days filled the sloughs, drown the lentils and turned the gumbo into pavement. Lighter land looks better. 1st Durum is headed out and flowering on the light land.

            Should be great for peas. These gumbo areas now produce zero yield here in peas

              Took the drive yesterday . It is getting really ugly.
              The lightest land is getting close to toast.
              Golden brown might be good for some things ,but not 8 inch high wheat.1/4-1/3 field looks like that. The rest can not be far behind. Canola across the road same area. Brutal
              Wilt .looked great last week. Bolted stems now almost touching the ground

                It's not "fool" proof and it takes a fool to farm it. Enter Farmaholic.

                  What killed lentils in Manitoba. Lentils were big in Manitoba in the seventies, long before Saskatchewan (until zero-till.) i think that disease and compaction killed the Cinderella crop. Lentils disappeared from the Manitoba scene. Correct me if I am wrong, Manitoba growers.
