Well, another week has come and gone and we continue to move on. Some have reached the finish line in our area and some in the heavy wet area just started Wednesday of this week. That area had very bad hail last year and a 3 in a downpour at day or two later.
We have hit 86% of the 2020 crop is in the ground as of tonight.
Most farmers in the area are now finally done with the harvest from 2019 and are busy seeding behind the combines.
Peas are all seeded and most are up already. Some fields have wild oats pressure others to have zero to no weeds. Lentils are the same. Few more acres in our area but not a massive amount.
Barley is mostly seeded for guys going for malt. Later seeded will be for the feed market. Early is up and most have rows.
Hrs and Durum are seeded or just finishing on most farms. Early is up and growing nicely.
Canola is going in the ground and lots of guys delayed seeding this year due to last years shit show with the early birds. Guys who usually complain about flea beetle control actually always are the early seeders. Talk to any retail and they will explain that. The odd field is up.
Flax is all seeded or just finishing. Nothing up.
Oats are going in.
We have a few guys that took went to the meeting last year on growing rye and grew quite a few fields. It survived the winter really good and has been all floated fertilizer on. Looks good but could use a rain real soon.
Moisture levels in our area are good at the moment. Rains have been hit and miss. 1/4 in here or there and a mile away sweet **** all. Our area did not get much out of the last storms.
Pasture is in need of that good spring soaker to wake it up and get it going. Lots have moved cows out and odd one still drops a bale now and then.
WIND WIND WIND WIND WIND you almost want to join chuck and piss away a few dollars on a wind mill that would go to shut down mode because 70km is a little crazy. Spraying is been done at night or the two calm days guys go nuts.
So keep safe and lets hope we all get that million dollar starter rain real soon.
