[tubs]

We did finish today growth is slow here due to cold weather. Most guys are done or getting very close.

Try playing in that mud for 10 years it's fun at first then gets old quick

This is a first for us for a very long time in this area. 2013 we had some rains but this is different level.
we managed to get done but when we could go there was not much sleep. Coulter harrow and the mud sc****rs definitely helped get done after wet.
Definitely hats off to those who deal with this or worse more often than not .
Dry is definitely easy but nerve wracking wondering if it will even germinate

Seeded canola on the high ground yesterday. Rained out today so not sure how long till it goes again. Using cultivator and harrow to tickle the muddy spots so can go a ways before having to turn the drill again. Planning to try broadcasting some so don't have to fight weeds all summer in patches. Crop insurance extended seeding deadline to June 5. Wheat looks fairly good and have not lost too much to flooding yet. Where is this drought chuck talks about? I have lost crop to both drought and flood. Less mess with drought.

My grandfather always told me he preferred it on the drier side than too wet. Back in his days the lack of HP made it miserable when to wet. Myself I remember the 80s and how dry it always was so I preferred it a bit on the wetter side but do agree u can get way more done when it’s dry. Helpless feeling when dealing with either extreme.
Most guys in NW MB area we are in are closer to done than the start but do need a few more days of Sun. We finished our Black Beans yesterday in some muddy conditions but with todays rain it shud cover up the boo boos. Most of the wheat and peas look good. Canola is still small and beetles are showing up. Some spraying for them but they aren’t near as apocalyptic as a few years ago. Some guys spraying wheat and pea herbicide. Canola will be end of next week most likely. GDD have been lacking so things are slow. Amazing what a difference seeing the sun can do to the crops. Giver hell when u can boys!

Storms were moving so fast we got a whopping 5m in the past 2 days.

Some fleas on canola but nothing worrisome at all , seed treatment will take em out

[furrowtickler]

Peas and the last seeded wheat coming ok

[furrowtickler]

Peas seeded with seed master SR at 2.2 bus / ac
will be interesting but expecting much the same as the Horsch on 15 in spacing … hopefully

[furrowtickler]

Lentils , maybe too thick … with seed master SR
time will tell

[furrowtickler]

1st seeded wheat coming along finally after a lot of cool wet weather

[furrowtickler]

Actually damp weather , many of you here are far far wetter and fighting pure mud
