Any seeding this week coming up?

[Sheepwheat]

I think I’ll go skidooing again today. But there is the one hill I see some stubble poking on, have to give that one a wide berth... lol seeder is half a mile away might have to pack a lunch and a sled full of tools to start working on it? Lol

+1 at 10 am, brisk wind. Another cold day so far. High apparently 15. We shall see about that.

Changed another 200 acres over to alfalfa. I just can’t deal with this anymore. Anyone take a cut the establishment year with any success?

A note. My wife had a Facebook memory come up today. I was harrowing ten years ago today. Earliest I have ever been in the field. Then it started raining, and is the year we seeded ZERO acres. Lots can happen yet! Maybe it turns around, who knows?

Going to be awhile. Went for a look this morning and no dirt showing yet.

You're likely under a cloud

Lol,



This kind of cloud?

[Sheepwheat]

It’s hard to even fathom isn’t it? I mean we usually get enough snow, but there is not usually such a stark difference in an hours drive.

Has me thinking about overwintered crops. Maybe those with success are in areas where there is less to no winter snow? Maybe next month I will find out how my flax did.

It is STUCK weather again, just like a hundred times in my lifetime. I always think it's the evil ICEBOX Hudson Bay wrecking us being included in "spring' an hour west or south.
It works in our favor when TOO DRY else where at times, only 3 years too dry out of 53...pick your poison/stress.

We got to a whopping plus 6 today. I can almost get the 70 yards to the barn without walking on snow. lol

Apparently it was 20 and 22 almost everywhere else? Farma, I think we live in the east side of the slum of the ghetto?

We have different Ghetto problems compared to each other, hard to say whose more Ghetto!
Then there's that 20 mile diameter Garden Spot around Balcarres....Eden....where you can't miss, even a slouch like me would succeed there, in spite of myself!

Today radio said regina 22 degrees
We were 2 degrees at same time
3.5 hrs northwest , WTF ?

[fjlip]

Woo Hoo 7.8C the high for this year! Are we happy?

Why did guys not learn from last years seeding in April?

Drew has a heavy cooling period around the middle of May so Canola seeded early will be bye-bye.

Can you seed wheat too early? I don't think so best to put it in early then it comes off in fall
canola yes I agree might as well stay in the bag till mid may

Is that a D6C? ............... sure looks like ours but you’ve upgraded the air intake from the original. Always nice to start in the field even if it’s a little behind schedule.

If it's d6c older than what I ever ran, what I know is muffler ahead and intake precleaner where exhaust is. Maybe a d6b, or likely komatsu.

I say D7E
Or a D8H, but the hood doesn't look long enough.

[makar]

Hood on a 7 should have more of a taper to it, at least on a f or g, which had a turbo 2 precleaner. Spent lots of winters staring at exhaust pipes.
