Peas desiccated and getting close to put in the bin....even at 20% moisture into aeration.
Wheat changing color big time. Have 280 acres on flax stubble. Lots of volunteer flax came after the first good rain after I was already done in crop herbicides. Thought "oh boy"! Some volunteer flax on the higher drier ground dried to nearly a crisp, some on midslopes struggling, low spots it hung on the best.....obviously not an "abundance" of moisture. I doubt our wheat will have last year's bushel weight. Saw afew fusarium infected heads in low spots but nothing alarming.
Canola is decent for the start to the growing season we had....Clearfield Nexera....not expecting miracles.
Flax was pretty decent but now weeds are starting to poke up above the crop. It seemed to flower a long time...never seeded it last this year, but now way will it beat the flax crop we had in 2016.
Yellow Mustard kinda looks ugly again. At peak flowering it looked good. It was well fed so hopefully it will surprise us.
Talked to someone today that was afraid to look at their soy beans, figures they need a rain badly, but he said they were podded up well.
Looked at some chickpeas today, ....how many times can you spray them for disease? If your into them for 2 apps already....what's a third one? Some bottom pods are tan brown and shrivelling with nothing in them. Yikes this year here.
Neighbor's lentils look decent and changing color without alot of " brown" patches in them.
The Ghetto crops won't be no screaming hell but we at least have a crop.
Speaking only of my own,
