    How many canola acres will not be seeded this year?

    We live in a bog. Should be a frog. Got over an inch of rain yesterday so the extended seeding season which expires tomorrow will be a bust. Wonder how many acres of canola will spend the winter safely in the seed bag? 2 million is my guess. Canola prices up today so the market is taking notice. Would be nice to watch china's price lowering games blow up in their face.

    A lot of Canola being eaten by beetles and blown out of the ground by wind. How many acres deep in the South? canola will be a scarce commodity if weather doesn’t turn around soon.

      Most guys done, or close to done seeding around here. I have feed barley and greenfeed left to go yet. Watching the potholes that were seeded through fill up with water. Have had over 2" of rain in two events over the last 4 days. Another 2" forecast for this weekend. Things might start looking like Woodlands area around here soon!

            How many lb/ac Furrow. Looks good. I assume that’s the Horsch.

              Flea beatles now devil beatles(chinch). Keep your eyes peeled for these little buggars they are fast and hard to see but viscious. They live under the crust and go right for the stem and growing point. Reseeding starts tomorrow. Click image for larger version

                    Biglentil, are you going back to canola?

                    We are very lucky, don't really see any feeding on our canola.
                    CL2026 Helix and Lumiderm. Seeded one thirds two thirds...mixed as bags were added to air cart.
                    Also, at least ours never froze this year, we usually seed too early.

                      LR344PC Liberty and Truflex RR treated with Prosper Everglo only as Lumiderm was not available at the time. Hit minus 3 last Thursday. Not sure if Lumiderm would of made the difference, as I'm seeing some bad damage on some lower ground we have Lumiderm on as well. It's funny the field I sowed North South across the road is completely fine. Last time I sow East West lol.

                          Regina flats, last time I saw the bugs was 3 years ago and a sample was shipped to Ottawa for identification. They classified it as a newly discovered breed of chinch beatle. We call em 'devil beatles' they develop a red black stripe up their backs as they mature. Saw a canola crop never come up because of them, they cut them off before they came through the crust. Lorsban was sprayed didnt work, as bugs are under the crust mostly. Heard of flax and durum down south needing reseeding because of them as well. A neonicotinoid seed treatment is essentially the only line of defence. The pictured above was sprayed with Sevin three nights ago for flea beetles. The only pesticide for flea beatles said to have a residual that translocates in the plant. Flea beatles died mostly.
