Be glad you don't have a foot of snow on top of it!

Looks like weather here wont allow it intil May. If much combining at all.

We have about 400 ac left of oats and wheat. White geese moved in by the 1000s, combining will be allot easier now.

That looks like paradise. We're at 195 days of snow that hasn't left. Can't even drive a quad through the spots the cows have spent much time. Weather man is calling for more white $hit on Friday yet. My friend was cleaning barley and I got him to do a bunch for me since it's looking like plan B "barley" might be the only option left whenever we get to seed.

I'm on the night shift dealing with dumb calves in the mud.... maybe that's why I'm coming across extra grumpy.

As I am sitting eating dinner looking out my window the snow we got this morning is just melting. Looks amazingly dry there and looks like it is going well where you are Klause. Travel in fields here in central Alberta not possible today.

Looks promising. I just gave up on towing and empty hay wagon across the highest point of a Stubble field with MFWD. Was getting close before all this rain and snow. I was able to drive the quad around and check the standing crop without getting stuck.

Spring harvesting must be terrible I feel for you guys. Never had to do it myself so I can't imagine getting ready to seed and trying to combine. Hope the weather cooperates.

Hard to believe you are 50 miles away, hardly quad in the fields here. Rain/snow chances all week. Minus 7 on Friday morning! It's is NOT drying/thawing at all!

[rockpile]

Klause, is that yours? I thought you finished up last fall. What's the yield? I never ever dealt with that.

[BreadWinner]

Its running 60bus/ac #1 im sure.

Best of luck. Canola prices are rising so thats good. haul straight to the crusher!

No we didn't finish.... "just" some canola left of course it's the big cash crop. So it's kinda missing.



The half we took off covered our crop insurance level so this is lovely lol.


Yielding 28-32 samples we took in are a 1 with 2% damage.
It's about 47lns down from 51 last fall.





This is west of Humboldt. .. 4 miles west of Richardson Dixon and 12 south.


Still lots of low spots you can't get into but we figure may as well cut the dry areas

So what % do you figure you lost over winter 20-30% ? whats 47ins?
