Friday Crop Report on a Thursday!

Wheat up nice

Going to be an issue in many areas possibly

Got guys reseeding in the area due to the 70-80 km winds on Wednesday. Neighbour with the planter is redoing all his. Wind just sheared it off with no real furrows to protect it. Some flea beetle damage but nothing like other years. They must have actually put the treatment in this year. Wheat and peas are coming good but Fababeans are slow as all hell. Some rain would help with there progress. Hopefully a little rain and heat will help us all.

Yes , wind shear can be an issue with a planter but less with rain
The good bad and ugly of all lol
Our Fabas were very slow as well , but the ground temp cool off so much with those continuous frosts in mid May , that did not help

Never leave $500,000 sprayer idling. Many hours are put on those things sitting there while filling or worse yet somebody is scribbling on a chemical box trying to figure out a tank mix while the hours click off

my damn viper pro takes 8 mins to work , pisses me off
would shut it off more

Always have issues Last days of seeding today it was the local Fert dealers turn. Shoot stuck wide open.

Big time blowing in the Wascana Flats. Reseeding of sheered-off lentils on fields that were burnt black. Entire 3 section blocks with zero visibility all day Wednesday, same Thursday - fall cultivated, harrowed and spring pre-work pulverized the top just prime for take-off. Local pilot flying around today says wind piled up straw, not pretty. Wind - stop already!

.......and I think to myself, why aren't we heavy harrowing everything and rolling everything in the Ghetto? Sometimes for no good reason. Saw a patch of ground beside highway 11 that blew so hard there were soil dunes in the ditch.

Piece of ground beside us saw a heavy harrowing(pea stubble), seeded, harrow packed then sprayed, maybe the weed growth held it in place.

Ghetto dirt suffered past degradation because of some poor farming practices, why would I risk it now?
Burning black and vertical tillage can be soil's nemesis. I don't understand burning black and VT has it's time and place, don't make poor choices!

It's always the best part of the soil that is blown away.
If the wind was strong enough to nearly tip three of our hopper bins the other night....I can imagine what it would do to a barren open field prone to erosion.

Dry it out harrow the shit and pro till might grow a crop then.

Was that "local pilot" on a reconnaissance flight over the Ghetto a coupal of weeks ago?
Thought I saw a couple of fly-bys.
