Well what a wet week of storms for most, hail rain, winds. Major system went over Sask, but our area was left alone. Total rain fall 1/3 to 1/4 of a inch.
Total for the year for the farm, 2.74. Just checked we got our usual 1/10 last night.
So I call 2020 the year of the tenth. Because ever time I check the station it’s 1/10.
Ok here we go.
Hrs is in heading or flag and guys are really using quite a bit of Ace. We had a Demo last year were happy with it and will do some of our wheat with it. It this year I am picking only some fields that show good potential. Yes it’s from a Chinese company but I think it works. You can go earlier than your prosaro. Midge to east of us closer to boarder and south about a hour. Wheat looks not bad considering. Early seeded has less potential as first rain came about five days to late.
Barley is thinner this year but still is doing ok and getting ready to head.
Oats is filling in nice.
Flax in area is thinner than normal, no real 10/10 fields any place.
Peas wow most farms have really nice peas and lentils, oh yea we’re dry not flooding like usual so this is what it’s like to not flood. All fields sprayed for disease just to keep them standing nicer for peas and lentils well you sneeze and they get a cold.
Canola the over priced crop to grow needs to have seed prices dropped just a little as some early look ok those seeded around the 16 th to 25 are wow and those in June are wtf. But ground was dryer.
Nicest catch is seeded June 18 on pea stubble that was worked last fall. Flowering on early and middle but late is struggling.
Canary in area quite a bit looks good and is getting sprayed not sure disease or aphids.
Fall seeded rye is thin, not sure these new varieties are as good as old. Our sand ridge when I was a kid grew a better stand. But I can bet your paying way more for seed.
Pasture came back a bit or are just hanging in.
First cut is less than last year and newer fields of hay are doing better.
So again guys are busy starting to spray some fungicides. Not every one is gearing up as very little to no dew in mornings and min rain so canopy not really wet.
Bugs so far are min.
Basically I can’t believe the crop is doing as good as it is on the tenth rain system we’re getting.so here is to another tenth.
Yes the rain every day in harvest is what’s helping the 2020 crop as established crops roots are going down like a hooker on the job.
Have a great week and keep safe and watch the sky it could be a storm or a drop hitting you in the eye.
