Friday Crop Report on a Thursday Week 7

[jdg364]

Peas, wht and our first cnl is now up. Moisture is good, hoping our heat is here to stay (no freezing temperatures in the next 14 days supposedly).

Hearing that nitrogen is dropping at the retail and diseal is closing is on the $1/L. Still waiting on chemical from FNA, what a dud of a company. Can’t believe I still deal with them.

Spoke to our local dealer and sprayers are still short but ample combines laying around. Bourgault has their 2025 program out and was hoping we’d be interested in flipping ours.. I guess we’ll see what the numbers look like.

With heavy rain falling here east of Edmonton we are now in next year country. Seed in mud and the crop is a dud. Finished mudding in wheat yesterday and now some of that will be drowned out. Wish I had not made some of those low priced sales last winter as may need carry out to hold down bins this fall. This is far worse than the last flood in 2020. Rain since end of April is around 5" so far and if the forecast holds will be over 6" by end of Monday.

Same boat right at my place anyhow, ground was just getting fit and I started a couple days ago but got thunderstorm yesterday afternoon and it’s mud again. Forecast not looking good.

We have been lucky and missing the rains which is usually for this area. Still fairly wet after 3 weeks with no rain. Trying to finish a field of canola tonight because rain is forecast for tonight and tomorrow.

I feel for the guys that are getting pounded by rain.
I have been down that road a few to many times and know how stressful it is.
I also think of the guys that face never ending drought and think how hopeless it must feel sometimes although I have never experienced it.
Let’s stick together! It’s a tough game we play.

She’s a wrap here, nice seeding conditions, first year in many.

Has anybody ever seeded canola through the deep banders to avoid over-packing in wet soil conditions and running the fertilizer through the openers.

What drill u talkin?

As long as it closes properly. Disc drills in wet soils create a cut side that can become hard and not allow the seed to grow if the weather goes too hot and dry. It cements the one side.

If you have discs for deep sanders.

The idea makes sense since the canola will fill in for sure.

Surprised f’na is still around. Their “subsidiary” opened a retail in town. Asked a salesman if you could buy chemical there as it’s a warehouse, but no you still have to order it. What was the point of them opening the location?
