Treating Seed

[SASKFARMER]

Poor seed is one place to look at if it's bad you can't make it better. Now the best seed I ever had was the Frozen shit from 2002. Grew like crazy, go figure.

We treat up to a point. Once we have nice warm soil and a combination of good seed we will leave it in the jug. But when you buy big totes they got you.

Treated wheat once, a real hassle, never since then. Only seeded Metcalf, smut resistant. Treated own canola seed in the stone age, Yuk! Neighbor played with Counter 5G, most toxic deadly stinking crap!Canola comes treated now, yay. Way less stress, saved a lot of input $$, will never know $$ lost in yield?

I have a treater; the one that straps on your seeder auger. It’s rode around on the cart for 5 years with no use. Every year I plan to treat but never happens. Used to for a while but quit after I left some test strips. Still if conditions were such that I was worried I probably would. I’d be more afraid of worms than disease, especially grass breaking.
