Last crop update pics thread before harvest

[Klause]

We will be starting harvest in another 5 days or so... This is the last round of pics...


Soybeans.... look awesome. Should run 35 to 40 no problem this year, podding right to the top. Need 3 to 4 frost free weeks yet.

Metcalf barley

Amarillo Peas... Love how well they stand.

Shaw VB wheat

[Klause]

Pioneer 46M34 straight cut canola.

[Klause]

Lentils.... Rot was starting to show up in places where they lodged, where the drill overlapped.... otherwise they looked OK yet. Don't know what will happen after today's rain.

Souris oats. Crappiest crop we have this year. Got 2 4 inch downpours on it, and it's just west of Humboldt where the water table is 4" down.... Was under water, main stems rotted off then it regrew, then some lodged and rotted and some more regrew.... Not even sure this will make harvest or make much of anything.

Here are some pictures I took on the way to collect the mail today.


Golden fields of (spring) wheat


Ripe barley


Even the oats are starting to turn

Winter crops are off, some canola got swathed on the weekend, we've corn over 8' high and its not even a high growth variety. Not bad for old mud hole Manitoba.
Sure is a lot earlier than the September/October harvests we used to have "West of the 5th".

Don't show pictures like that!!! Your old neighbours from Manitoba might move to Saskatcherwan. Lets keep them thinking thier in the best place on earth.

What are you harvesting in 5 days Klause, those pics, if today are weeks away?

The canola I posted last week is a week or so, no flowers for 2 weeks.

However if it keeps RAINING???

Barley fields are total twisted messes in some fields, may never ripen, unless a frost.

Some of your crops loved all the moisture. If only we'd have known that we would get lots of moisture, we would have seeded half-rate and fertilized accordingly. We too are looking at lodged crops and wondering about how difficult harvest will be. Good luck and thanks for the nice pics. 😀

We're helping a friend with 800 acres of winter wheat hoping to start next weekend.


I agree. It needs to stop effing raining.

Thanks.... Something I've often wondered... We seed with 6" sweeps and a 4" spreader boot... seems like when you have higher SBU you get way less lodging, really noticed a difference going from a knife on 7.5 to the sweep on 12....


On the barley, that field is full of potholes (it's 393 acres but 3 quarters), so we had superU floated on with a sectional rig... didn't want it going down, and it was doing well until today, and the 1.7" of rain that came with wind.
