A little bit of humor for a Windy Thursday.

Here is the crop report.

Seeding is at 99.9% done. In our area, the organic guy should finish this week and the Cowboy has the drill out in the field yesterday so looks good for the weekend to seed his oats.

I actually worked down some ugly ****ing canola that is by my yard and reseeded it to Barley a new variety just because I'm not looking all summer at an area that was first seeded into dry dirt then we got a decent rain and it packed the ground then as the little canola plants were coming out we got a bake oven of 37 to 40 and finally, they all died.

Here is the crop report.

Wheat is moving fast and if it was seeded early it looks awesome. Later this year is behind but catching up. Early fields have moved above the Canola stubble and look a solid green. In crop, spraying is being happened but most fields haven't as the wind has been insane. We are switching out of a wild oat chemical that gets risky as plants get too big and going with Axil to clean these up.

Barley is also moving at top speed. The fields are clean but canola is present under the plants and will need a spray as soon as the weather cooperates.

Peas also are moving on up and I have to switch to 15 Gal now for spray. Ours were uneven germ so some 6 some 7 and some 0ne or two. Soak and hope for the best.

Lentils in the fields in our area have been sprayed and are looking not bad they love the heat and dry conditions.

Canola looks funny in all fields even the specialists who give it all are looking interesting. Flea wasn't a problem in our area it was moving the rain came and baked the ground. A good rain is needed soon. The first spray of liberty will be done in about 2 hours as I am on my way out to spray. Calm now. HA HAHAHAHAH

Flax lots more seeded than I would have thought. Odd one sprayed.

Pastures greened up but now with winds are moving backward. Wind drys the shit out of everything. 70Km just ****s things up faster.

Early hay looks good and alfalfa looks real good. The second cut won't be anything unless we get rain.

The rain let's talk that shit show last week the storms split in our area and one went East and one went west we ended up with 9/10 so the total for the year is just at 3.69 in. since April 1.

Two comments this week as grain markets are going down faster than a politician taking a cut.

First, a 4-inch rain that comes down so fast only does two things fill ****ing sloughs and make you feel good for an hour. Really not much soaks in. The second thing is a week of 50 to 70 Km wind takes any moisture you got and it's gone. More rain is needed and less wind.

Politicians and Some crop experts were so giddy after the Billion dollar rain it was sickening. One rain doesn't cure a drought and the wind took more away than giving.

So again I'm spraying as no wind have a great day and keep safe.
