Lodged Crop

[furrowtickler]

Not always is lodged crop because of yield.
This is a big issue here
a pocket here about 3 miles around and scattered in other fields there is nothing in the lodged areas basically
the stems have been deteriorated right off ground level

[furrowtickler]

Those stems were done before grain fill

Found this extremely interesting
Ran a 28 ft Salford VRT demo around the edge of a few fields last fall

Is yield similar? Better?

In this neighborhood, typically anything vertical tilled in the fall is substantially less on account of zero snow catch. There's a place for it here, but outside rounds aint it.

It’s a field surrounded by bush , hence why I ran the Salford VRT around the bush edge . Keeps the trees , grass and field edge trimmed .

Finished wheat last night. Out of 8 qrts 6 were good 1 partially lodged and one badly lodged. All within 3 miles. The only difference was the lodged was on canola stubble and the other on pea stubble.Didnt roll the wheat and scraping the ground not good . Tried canola and not ready so a couple of fix days.

We had a bad incident on Friday. A farmer and his son when the combine started a fire in a barley field. The father in the grain cart tried to drive over the fire to extinguish it . The tractor caught on fire and he was trapped . The son ran and pulled him out but he was badly burnt . The son also burnt his arms. Combine tractor cart all gone . This is the third large fire close to us this year. Be sure to keep your machines clean and stop every now and then to check.

Another neighbour drove his half to field and started to combine. The truck started the field on fire , luckily they had a disc but the truck is toast.
