Friday Crop Report on a Thursday.

[seldomseen]

And to answer the question Bucket.

I think it is ridiculous that we pay so much for Canola seed that only has a day or two of flea beetle protection!

[furrowtickler]

Well its spray it or it will be 100% loss. I used Pounce on half and Matador on the rest.
Beetles can take a field very quickly and you have to scout almost twice a day because things can change very fast!
I bought Canola seed from BAFS and it comes with Prosper seed treatment that might protect the seedling for a few days when it first comes up. My Canola was planted around the 20th of May and missed all the frost but by now all that first seed treatment is long gone and has no effect. How they can say that seed treatment is hurting bees is absolute nonsense.
We used to get products like Counter 5G and Furadan Granules that you mixed with the seed and planted with your canola and it was very effective and even controlled wire worms and cut worms. The experts took away those products that were put under ground and away from most creatures. Now everyone is spraying insecticide above ground to control the same pest but I think putting way more creatures at risk!

Seeded on May 20th with no frost it should be fine
That is frustrating for sure

Our Friday precipitation went from 15mm to 5mm, looking like it will be a non event.

Minus 3 this morning.

That’s not good , sorry to hear
I was wondering who got the cold air last night
I was south of Meadow Lake near the height of land yesterday at 2pm , it was only plus 7 c .... at mid day
A small rain storm at time but still ... June 7th ....

Geez Jazz, the way that satellite is building from the SE it should be a flood. Hope these skies open up. We reseeded some canola today. With no rain, it’ll be a bust. The Canola on Lentil stubble needs rain, real rain very soon.

Remember, science is computer generating the forecasts that flip flop everyday, sometimes from one extreme to another. Accuracy, not so much, sound familiar

Yr-No has 4inches forcast here for Friday.
Are you saying we can't count on that?

[seldomseen]

I am watching 3 different forecasters
Weather network went from 15 mm down to 5mm for Friday.
YR went from 15mm to 47mm then to 67! For Friday
Environment Canada just says rain Friday and Friday night.
5 mm would be a little light
67mm would be swimming
I guess I will go with Enviro Canada and it will be whatever I want it to be,

[Dr Tone]

you guys accept that you have to spray for flea beetles when the cost of canola seed is where it's at?

Is getting the decis or whatever insecticide a good enough repayment without factoring in the cost of spraying?

Seed treatment.
Sprayed every Canola field as they all were getting hit at various points once the heat kicked in.
Sprayed one field a second time just tonight. So thick it was unbelievable.

Won’t have to reseed but many around us had to.

Ridiculous. Should have grown more Canary.

What for seed treatment did you have on seed?

We got 12mm last night nice to know it still can. Least settled the dust for a while and maybe brew up something more later I am hoping.

1 inch and still raining..

[SASKFARMER]

Some areas arent cut worm or Flea they are damage to seedlings from the hot 37 C days. Seed starts growing gets to surface and ground is so ****ing hot it bakes them before they come out or pinches them off. Never seen it happen for years it happened this year.

****.
