Friday Crop Report on a Thursday week 14.

[blackpowder]

Very good points.
I'm wondering if there isn't any other union workers we could criticize before the ones who care for us?
Better yet, focus on the unions themselves. You might find the root of the problem.

And just so we don't get kicked over in to Chuck's asylum.

For anyone using AMS to fix their spray water, we had one interesting wreck of note. Do some homework.

Very close to the 80/20 rule with teachers
a large percentage do as little as possible , the rest earn their keep and way more.
those are the ones who go early , stay late , always the ones involved in sports teams and most other extracurricular activities and don’t get paid extra to do so .
many are typical union lackeys and a few actually care and contribute immensely.
same with most unions , just the way it is .
Wife has been a teacher for 25 plus years ….. she says the exact same thing .

Why not teachers, the shit they put up with in the classrooms these days in not the same as what is was when we went to school.

Broken homes, disrepect, cell phones, not to mention the parents who blame everybody else for their own lack of parenting skills. Nothing more than a drop off babysitting for some.

Everybody wants their children to have a good education, you get what you pay for.

Two neices from SK who are teachers gave me the run down a month ago.

As some on Agriville like to throw out the word vision, Moe should pull his head out of his ass on this one

Ok. I am going to go here.

Median wage 90k going to 100k in a province where the median HOUSEHOLD income is 75k.

I read an article in the Economist a few years ago predicting a future clash between taxpayers and tax eaters.

As far as politicians go, I have always maintained that they should be paid based on the average wage of the population of their province.

If the standard of living increases they should get paid.

I have harder water with high enough calcium carbonate levels that products like achieve require added AMS. I have been tempted to add AMS to Liberty or Glyphosate but have so far resisted the temptation. I am curious what you added it to?

I think glyphosate would benefit from AMS. Not sure about Liberty. It is just about straight surfactant. Would be interesting to know the ideal ph for it.

[blackpowder]

We started adding it to every tank based on our water test.
We have since learned that some products don't bind to your water and don't need it.
And that some products actually uptake too well because of the fertilizer aspect, causing injury.
Do not add it to Axial/Talinor.
Was told strobilirin as well.
Now we're researching every chem.
Always something.

Also the granular chemical may not dissolve and mix in water with too low of ph.

On fungicides we will be spraying next two days then hold off till rain / temp changes on Thursday

[furrowtickler]

If we miss meaningful rains Thursday/ Friday we done on fungi

[furrowtickler]

First time in a few years we sprayed fungi on canola
glad we did so far
look at the petals on leaves , this was sprayed last Friday based on our conditions we watched

[cropgrower]

huge hay crop this year ! lots of sun needed !

[furrowtickler]

Found the best pea crop in our area , just happened to miss heavy June rain / hail and frost

If that was mine it would lay flat by harvest. Just my luck.

Looks very good.
