Green crops

[the big wheel]

Still see many green canola flax canary fields. Looks like this week will be the end of decisions to wait since frost is almost certain. Sept 21

That’s true. Lots and lots of acres better not be normal snow!!

Time for a little harvest management help today.

[the big wheel]

I did some a few days ago anywhere the loss from management would be the least just so I can continue with the combine, but at least in our area harvest management or a frost will mean easily anywhere from 30 to over 50% loss of yield and some fields maybe 75% loss. And lists of acres.

That would mean those fields are mostly green, nothing cured? Wow

Yes it’s not a good feeling!

Ya hate to say it but may be a little late for harvest management unless it involves sickles.

Might involve both.

Did some of both now what day was it 90% rain that we couldn’t get all June and May?

Sprayed 540g/ac on stuff with wicked 2nd growth still flowering in 2015 on Sept 19-20. 4 weeks till I wound it through the combine. Would have swathed, but the stuff worth combining was between my ankle bone and mid calf. 16bushel average... sometimes i wonder how I've managed to keep going this long...

There are a lot of black swaths out here and sections of lentils and thousands of acres of chickpeas totally ruined. It’ll cut down on the harvest dumping of good quality for sure.

On the positive side the frost coming this weekend should kill the sprouted barley?

And the wild oats that are taking another go at it

So is the mustard. I have a field of volunteer lentils that looks like its coming better than the original crop did in the spring.
