Friday Crop Report on a Thursday Week 13

[SASKFARMER]

Rain rain go away come back middle of July.
It's been a wet windy one nice day week to spray.

Most just finished last night we need two more days.

I am going now so quick report.

5nice days in June the rest is cold and windy and rainy.

Life of a farmer isn't fair mother nature runs the show you're just a participant.

So little sparkle socks are in trouble. good the ****er never should have been elected.

Crop report.

April-seeded wheat in our area is starting to head. Three weeks later seeded will in 5 to 7 days. Later can catch up and probably will out-yield it.

Canola bounced back from Frost but is set back. Some fields finally are cabbage stage and rows filling in. None are blooming. Lots of weeds some spraying again.

Peas are not liking the rain and yellow spots. Disease spray will start next week.

Lentils look good and getting sprayed now.

Flax filling in nice.

Canary looks usual yellow after spray.

Barley early seeded starting to head. Looks good so far.

All done seeding except green feed.

Hit the field so let us know about your area.

Crops right locally are decent, missed hail and heavy rains so far
a very long way to go but for the first time in over a decade we have a full tank at the end of June
Question is can we make it at the end

[Herc]

Great looking crops so far, but something I learned long ago, mother nature holds the wild card….Maybe they are wrong on the 2” forecast….

[SASKFARMER]

Oh boy were in for a interesting couple days

If we were not so far behind on heat units we would most likely be streaming on extra nutrient
but I think the safest bet is just Alpine G 22 with some fungicide to keep maturing advancing

Furrow, whats the benefit and rate you are blending your g22 with the fungicide?
i have a bunch i didnt use this spring on our planted canola.

[tubs]

week.

2L to 4L / ac
helpes drive roots and sugar levels to keep plants going
have seen as much as 4 days earlier maturing crops on years like this come fall

Choppers moved into area this morning for fungi season

Next week and these heads will be pushing out the boot. All the canola got two passes liberty, herbicide is finito and early lentils fungicided, lentils are nice on the humps and yellowed on the flats. Rain for them won't be good. Canola canopied and beginning to bud. Working on putting a float switch on the spray trailer that shuts the Honda 3" off when full. Dark clouds rollin in need to find a jacket.

Furrow.. you seem to be a fan of the alpine products. Do you add some with every sprayer pass?

Depending on conditions
will if there is crop stress , after a frost or hail . Not on first pass canola , mostly on second pass if things are good
Last year did nothing as soil moisture was gone and crops had little hope at this time
this year did not on wheat as we used Tridem and there is already 4 products in tank at herbicide time . But it will go on with all our fungicides now that our moisture profile is full and we need to bump maturity

Big rain coming tonight, lots going out to the watering hole. They hired some old biker dude to wait tables. Anybody recognize him?

[RD414]

Right you are Saskfarmer. He's originally from Saskatoon but his aunt and uncle were from the metropolis of Springwater. He shows up to visit the cousins now and then and obligingly takes selfies with all the ladies who swoon over him. Usually plays the outlaw in the movies but a real nice person and Springwaters tie to the celebrity world. In a commodity related report, we are up to 3/4 of an inch of rain today which puts us at an even dozen, yes 12 inches, since the first of may. 3 times what some of our ground got all last year. Still soaking in good but a couple more inches over the next 24 hours could start filling sloughs. Grand kids out of school today July 1st coming soon, time to turn up the heat and bring out the sun.
