soybeans 2015?

[riders2010]

anybody trying them again and what varieties?

What are the best innoculants for peas? We ve used tag team but people say after you use tagteam too long should switch?

[Oliver88]

I am trying them for the first time....only a small plot.

DeKalb 23-10

[Klause]

We have 4 varieties in 30 acre megaplots plus Monsanto ' s variety adaptation trials.



As far as pea innoculant nprove liquid and modulator peat.

[SASKFARMER3]

320 not happening this year. We're dropping to 80 or less to big risk in a non risk year.

[SASKFARMER3]

Seed after the 16th. We use granular inoculant and seed comes inoculated. We add s15 wih seed. Two apps roundup.

[Braveheart]

We are trying Restons this year. I think they have the best maturity rating for our area.

[riders2010]

Have guys just lucked out that frost hasn t arrived until late in September or does frost not hurt soy at the later stages? I would assume it would be hurt. Seeding may 15 when would you normally expect the plants to be safe of frost?

[riders2010]

and forgot to ask who are some of the dealers of seed in sask? Ive heard about those restons who does a guy talk to?

[Klause]

Thunder, Northstar, Dekalb, pioneer all have early season beans.


We always had the best luck with Northstar in Manitoba... Warrens at the time.



Northstar seed can be bought directly from their outfit in Neepawa or any of the GROW independents can order it for you.


Kevin Elmy has the Thunder seeds ones.


any independent Pioneer dealer can get theirs and the Dekalb ones come from GROW or Coop.

Different North Star in Neepawa.
That's the forage guys

Riders. It is my opinion that guys HAVE been lucking out on soy. Yes early frost will kill them and shrivel the seed.

Also, the moisture of late has contributed to the luck factor, soy do not like dry weather at flowering and podding and filling. Big areas of the west have lucked out with southern Manitoba style growing seasons for several years. Maybe it is the new normal? But then high grain prices were the new normal too! lol

I think honestly, it has lulled breeders and growers into a false sense of certainty of production.

Just my opinion. I have no doubt that breeding will bring early enough maturing varieties for western Canada. I just think we are not there yet, daylength sensitive or not.

But if we return to more typical first frost dates, and heat with no rain at the critical times, soy will be forgotten for a while.

Northstar seeds is based in neepawa, they sell forage corn and grass seed.

Northstar Genetics is the soybean seed company, Nadeau seeds should have any variety you want or will put you in touch with a dealer.

Guys have been pushing their luck with beans all over. I start out planting 2900 chu beans and work my way down to 2650, 5-6 varieties from Country Farm Seeds every year. A few guys around have been pushing that out to 3100 chu varieties but they got stung last year, should be some backing off now.

[riders2010]

Just considering trying some on a small scale. I look at canola and wheat days to maturity and some of that scares me if we continue wet so I just can t see how long term a 120 day crop works. Some of the info I gained is that it's not all about chu but it's more about light sensitivity of different varieties. At least that's what I ve been told.
If they could ever get those days to maturity down
Say good bye to canola as the benefits are huge.

I do t know why I was thinking the two northstar are the same... However i recall picking up bean seed in Neepawa at that location so they were a dealer at some point.






It is about daylight sensitivity but not all varieties are the same...


Northstar beans shut down hard when the days get shorter... Brett Young beans just kinda start to sorta do something that resembles shutting down.
