Plants are soaked , so have to wait. By 6 am the wind is expected to get to 30-50 for basically 48 hrs ..

It's either windy or raining or a forecast for rain..

Or crop stage or too cold or too HOT (over 28) or drift to neighbor....what take hours = weeks!

Not many around here even notice the wind let alone stop!

Sorry, not with you. Can't stand spray season. Although I'm very happy with the burnoff this year. Weeds should be manageable by the time I get to them.

Yea, roger that. Aside from the peas (Russian thistle problem) turnoff worked VERY well here.

Have to go scouting later today, but I'd assume a new flush has come with the recent rain.

Generally I'd be done in-crop by about now, but being 2 weeks or so behind has so far been somewhat advantageous.

Here is what happened today. Sprayed the first tank on the half section it stayed at about 14 to 16 km wind I have a station on this field. So headed home filled up and went to do another half that has canola to the south and flax to the east. The wind is out of the SE and then three sections of wheat to the west. The wind got up to 21 but kept going now I have 4 swipes on a half that's mine and enough chem to finish what I had left from the other day. Start and wind go nuts so here are my predicament do you come back for 4 swipes or finish in the wind and call it a day.

Slowed down and lowered to 28 in above ground and decreased pressure.

I finished but **** it was windy at the end. I hate wind. PERIOD.

My fields to East and West. and already sprayed the other day.

Was thinking of spraying as fields are just drying out. Fired up sprayer low voltage , new alternator Ace electric. NO SPRAYING TODAY. Windy next 4 days. Spraying is fun when stars align.
