Frost Damage

[sumdumguy]

If we slip by a big frost Wed. and Thurs. some of those early croppers will look pretty smart. As we see today, a rain event can change everything - too dry to seed became too wet to seed. In this heavy gumbo, farmers will be delayed into possibly June now. That seeding window can get kinda small and a moving target between dry layers, frosts, tractors that shut themselves off for environmental reasons, electronics that piss you off, all kinds of “externalities” . It would be nice if one could snap his fingers and presto, crop is in. Good Luck all our Agriville friends with threading the needle. 🍀

Perception of the seeding window in western Canada ...



Reality most years ... especially the past 4 ..

I lost a day to a sensor on the front drive shaft that had been crimped???? The mechanic said " don't know how that happened" No shit and no one would look for it on a green light either.

I lost another day on a cracked centre rim that needed to be welded...What green light service provides for inspection of the inside of rims?

Would have I been done seeding before the rain...pretty close but what is left can be put in shallow and be up just as quick.

It also opens up a couple opportunities for some other crops to finish...Might put in a quarter of canola...and I would have waited for moisture for the oats.

Will be spraying before the drill runs again.

-3 coming tomorrow. Glad beans will not be up . Some early canola and beans may get hit.

Durum is looking a little punk here, kinda in shock with the rain, I think. 😂

Ya unfortunately most of eastern sask and Manitoba have a few below zero mornings to deal with yet
We will be close by morning again here. Hopefully not over 8 hrs again like the other three .
Certainly will be a challenge even with moisture.

Wheat and peas up.
Anyone have experience?
Supposed to be -3 tonight and -4 tomorrow night.
We always seed canola last.

wheat and peas will be fine
just stay away with sprayer until several warm days have passed

2 degrees here late morning May 25! Day after day of cold and certain groups of people think this is a good thing?

That group of people should study history and realize the human world has always done better and made more progress during the warm periods.
Its almost like their goals are to stop human progress!

thats exactly their goal

Food security? What food security?

On the human progress they can't tell the people that 72% of the C02 comes from your home and thats where the buck stops.
Fosil fuels first. Food starting with meat. Just eat beans. Nothing that requires transportation or irrigation.
Unless it comes from China.
They will just continue to expand. The have financed 1000+ coal plants in silk road countries as cheap power is the key to suppling the world with manufactued goods.
We supply them with cheap price manipulated commodities and they supply the Amazon's
