Light frost here again this morning

With every frost , even if just lite , the crop gets set back , GDD and CHU stay low , and frost free days get shorter........ thus shortening the growing season

With a heavy frost like Manitoba just got they just lost 3 weeks of growing season regardless of what happens the rest of summer now .

Ahh farming ... so easy

Your wishes have been granted. You don't have to worry about frost if you had to reseed your frost damage crops. The week ahead looks to be very hot and dry with several days well over 10 degrees warmer than normal. It will be a sad week for those who didn't get as much rain as they needed.

Some farmers still seemed confused over the concept of climate versus weather. But on a site where wacky covid vaccines conspiracies are taken seriously by a few posters, don't expect a rational discussion about science.

Prior to the internet I always wondered who purchased and read all those supermarket tabloids? In some cases it must have been the parents of some frequent posters on Agrisilly.

Canola planted May 9 at 2.1 lbs


That was yesterday. This mornings frost probably won’t cause physical damage but set it back another day . Will still be miles ahead of anything just seeded or reseeded if that happens.
Majority of canola all over is up now , or should be .
Lost about 30% plants but still should be ok .
Many areas far worse with 70% loss
So far here zero reseed , but crops set back as much as 2 weeks .
Manitoba different story
Your response chuck , speaks for itself ..... ASSUMING a lot

No wish granted here , no reseed , got my vax, and yes more rain will be needed as are warm temps . May was very cool with frosts 5 times in the last 10 days and extremely cold early May with -10 and -8 on a few mornings as well . Not conducive to longer growing seasons at all .
This first rain we all had here was a saving grace but will just establish this crop into Mid June at best .
Much more will be needed .

The seed companies must hate you.

2019 was the yr we learned the hard way about late establishment. Reseeding is a real crap shoot. even switch to a shorter season crop is a toss up.
