klause you never put fung on your peas.

[Klause]

Here's something else.... we seeded 12 acres of meadows at 214 lbs an acre on 24 inch spacing.... 4 inch spread.


The plants only grew 2 feet tall.... bushes..... but the pod count was out of this world

We harvested them yesterday and hauled them in.


976.729 bushels plus 10.178 bushels of splits.


15.1% moisture



We do not roll peas... Our soils crust and I really believe it damages the stem at soil surface level and let's disease in....



Btw our targets are 65 bu west of humboldt and 80 at St gregor....

Klause, the breaking of the stem with rolling does concern me too. In a dry year, disease will not be so much of a problem in lentils and maybe same with peas. Compaction is also a problem. The guys with stones compact to push the stones into the ground, but in our soil, not necessary.

We always roll. Roll before emergence, sometimes after emergence. Our hilly fields make it a necessity, even with a flex d****r header. I find there is too much tagging if you do not roll. Put 50 pounds phos down with your 3 bus/acre peas plus granular inoculant, and you cannot help but get 80 bushels if you get adequate rain. We also use fungicide every year on peas. At the very least it is a lot less dusty combining. I always think 70% of a crops success is weather, unless you totally have a cluster seeding/spraying.
That is why some parts of the provinces look prosperous, while other parts not so much. Every province has areas that can be classified as gods country, and it is not because people of greater intelligence live there.

I saw that too. What a bloody display of contempt for Parliamentary Procedure and total disregard for Canadians rights to know what's going on. Those were not tough questions and could have easily been answered in one sentence without giving out too much information. Scheer is about the weakest Speaker we ever had.
If I were the Opposition, I would boycott QP to make a statement that the Governing Party is not Governing, just campaigning. Mulcair was good; too bad he leads the NDP.

There's an election coming soon.

What were the questions?

I know of one set of good black bred heifers for sale just now for $2100.

How many advisors has Canada placed on the ground in Iraq? The Govt has stated that October 4th was the deadline for intervention and then retraction. Is that date still on track? Not hard, is it?

[rockpile]

How many forces personal are on the ground in Iraq? The Govt has stated that Oct 4th would end our intervention. Is that still the schedule? Not hard questions at all, are they?
