Who is Harvesting What

[bucket]

Reglone can't be used in cereals and its almost too late for it to work on anything now....

Lentils have been sprayed for 7 days and they may still not go....

The weather hasn't co-operated very well with the sprays this year...

chuck will tell you it was the hottest summer on record and those crops will be burning to a crisp any day now.

Nice looking peas. 1.6 bushels per acre of seed very interesting. Our peas looked really good early on, we're 4 feet tall lots of pods. Rain and wind flattened them, now they are a leaf disease covered mat. Finally in the last few days they are starting to ripe, hope to spray them by the weekend. What variety furrow?

It's been slow and painful.

3.5 weeks and I should hopefully finally finish peas today except fir a couple low spots i seeded later.

Cereals "look" ready, but neighbor keeps poking a header into them and can't get a number below 17.5Mx.

Cool, cloudy, and moist makes for VERY short harvest days!

Was down to 3 deg here this morning with fog. Even if sun comes out it will be another short day

Some guys here by Edmonton have started into the peas and barley, some canola is being swathed, not gonna be in full swing for 2 weeks yet.

Peas seeded with Horsch planter at 225,000 seeds /ac . Worked out to 1.6 bus/ac .
Very happy with stand ability, yield and no disease .
Peas seeded with our drill at 3 bus /ac had disease in all low areas and went flat.
Planter outyielding the drill by about 5 bus/ac so far.
About an extra bus /ac per inch of rain . Simply a healthier plant .

Any difference in the fields, seeding dates, fert, spraying, etc? Or is it simply thinner stand = less disease? What row spacing? See more weeds in the planter fields?

Around Regina, lots of dead-ripe lentils are standing, maybe shelling with every shower. We combined 320 acres of lentils last week but nothing moving since last Friday. Durum looks ripe but needs warm weather, big time. Canola grass green. Airplanes are in the air around here because ground sprayers and muddy fields - well you know the result.

But, do you remember the neighbour I told you about who flip-flops lentils and canaryseed, burning canary stubbles black in spring. He’s the only one with a lot of his #1 lentils in the bin and all his canary swathed. First bit of harvest weather and he’s rolling. Annually his crew is often putting the combines away by labour day but not this year.

almost all cereals done here. moving into canola now. behind last year, but in decent shape. most surprised by yields again. better than expected.

Harvest?? What’s that? Still doing first around here. Baling grass that was cut a week ago and it’s testing 19-25% so it’s getting wrapped. The forecast was no rain when it was cut but has three showers on it and more forecast tonight. Hope to get it baled today but already one baler died. Murphy has taken up residence here. I’ll be happy if the combine starts rolling within a month. Nothing even close in the neighbourhood.

Just put duals on the 4440 baler tractor as it’s sinking in and bunching up hay underneath it even with swather canvas from the nose to the drawbar pin. Normally loaded tandems haul silage and there’s still standing water. Fun times🍀

Simply healthier plants , bigger pods.
15 inch rows , peas about 1 1/2 apart on average
Same rotation, same fert... just 4 gal Alpine , light rate of vitaflo and Nuti as seed treatment.
Both had less than 5 inches of rain during the growing season .
Doing a side by side tomorrow in same field .
Neither had fungicide
No difference in weed control
Just thought the big push to higher seed rates leads to more disease , more root rot , more fungicide.... tried the opposite of the “expert” Ag scholastic push lol . Less can be more lol
Most “agrologistS” say it can’t be lol

That dam Murphy has stopped in here many times, uninvited but thank God has never moved in.

Just starting peas. Will be a weeks long process. <half the yield and 3" off the ground.
Everything else 2-3 weeks behind and stalled out.
Not sure anymore what's worse. Too dry, or too dark/wet???? And yes, I mean weather, not anything else that could refer to.....
