Planter canola still hanging on

Sunnies doing well by our seeding rate trials in canola

[Hamloc]

Same field. The podded canola was seeded May 12. The flowering canola was reseeded June 4. Gophers had about an acre chewed right off. Eliminated as many gophers as we could and then reseeded as an experiment.

Furrow at the start of this thread you had a picture of one crop seeded with a Bourgault, the other with a seedmaster. How do those crops look today?

I will get some pictures now that’s it’s maturing

Will try to get head and kernel counts

Soybean plots




Caught an inch of rain and some small hail but look unaffected.

Should fill out and have a chance to finish this year with the warm weather the next 2 weeks

Not a lot of fields of beans this year, down here. The fields I do see look to be beautiful stands, but now we're coming to crunch time, when they really need the water. Tap been turned off for the last two weeks, yes they root well, but to see the yield that pays big, you need those late summer, early fall rains.

Very true
This will be the first time in years where they may actually fill here
We just do the 20 ac plot now until we get a consistent variety.
They are around 3.5 to 4 ft tall and podded very well . The 2 early varieties should do very well here without a frost in 14-20 days

Burgault


Seedmaster SR

[beaverdam]

Furrow, were the drills equipped with similar openers?

No
The bourgault has 3.5 “ paired row on 12 in space
The SM SR had single row 15 “

Dutch is working on a paired row opener for the SM SR so we will see

Would mainly be using the SM for canola , peas and beans if we go that rout instead of planter .
Just keep using the ole bourgault for cereals and plots where needed

I found this interesting all year ..


One section of the seed master ran out of dry phos in their last pass
Showed up just after emergence
Shorter , thinner and more weeds now
