Utter destruction of swathed canola. Shelling of standing crop.

If it doesn't get any worse than it is now here.....we will be ok.

Not saying we're out of the woods yet though.

Glass half full, farming101 has my top half.

Saskfarmer's cup runneth over but he doesn't realize it.

My Monday.

Murraylands for Monday Mostly sunny. Areas of raised dust in the late morning and afternoon. Winds N 25 to 40 km/h increasing to 35 to 50 km/h in the morning. Daytime maximum temperatures around 32.

Crops poking first heads out yesterday. We’ve been downgraded a tad

Seen it before will see it again.

Some areas will see 37.

Whats the wind clocking? Gust have stayed under 50 today.

But they added another degree to the impending frost. -5 now called for.

Hope that doesn't blacken some seeds of my human consumption flax.

Calmed to NW 24-36, +10C, COLD COLD wetish, showers last few hours...it's September all right, don't even NEED a calendar to Know! Hate to look at swaths, reports of Oats shatter. Think any crop standing has some, till rained. Zero to -2 forecasts, +8C high

Wet enough here that wind won’t cause much of a problem.
Blowing canola really suck!

Pod shatter or non? Invigor, or everybody else?

Where are you located Agstar? They were calling for 80k here (south of Yorkton) a few days ago, but thankfully they revised and we only got just above 60. The wind from Tuesday was actually worse and if you had canola swathed North-South there is a fair bit tipped over but East-West canola ok for the most part.

Gusts to 70 N of winnipeg. Straight cutting swathed canola.

Well the latest greater invigorating variety doesn’t have pods splitting open they just fall to the ground with the wind 😒

Not a "Like".... "Straight cutting swathed canola", heard of it being done before. But is sounds ridiculous.

I am so greatful it didn't get as bad as forecast,,,, but it could have just as well been 10-15 kph more than less! And that would have been real bad.

On shittier note, the Iron Maiden developed a shaft seal leak on the hydraulic pump that drives the cleaning fan hydraulic motor. That will slow us down a bit......the pitfall of a single combine farm.

Sorry to hear that, like farming isn't stressful enough.

[agstar77]

No life like it! Fortunately B.T.O. neighbor not us. 2 swaths rolled together. I can't even speak. Another reason we don't grow the weed.

Ya I've done that, but I never figured how to retrieve canola out of the tree rows. Dockage.

I just hope my canola would never blow onto a Monsanto/Bayer parking lot, it could get complicated.
