    That's a good question? I will be done everything except canola in a few days and I do remember a few years when seeding canola early really bite hard when it froze bad.

    Who would have thought back in early April we would be where we are today.

        15th to the 20th here in this little micro climate seems to be the best 90% of the time .
        Before the 10th we get nailed with frost50% of the time
        After the 25 Th fall frost risk jumps .
        But every area different, even 10 mile away spring frost far less

          Ours is in, done yesterday. Felt we needed to take advantage of the moisture thats there to try and get it establisbed. Seeded a bit deeper on one field than we usually do...down about an inch. But that would likely mean anywhere from 3/4 to 1 1/4, lol. Now if the damned hot dry winds would stay away.

          Lerner sent out a bulliten about a possible freeze at the end of this week. Watching frosted canola recover isn't fun. Time will tell.

          Take care and work safe.

            I think 1980 was early spring, turned HOT windy, flea beetles raised hell so most was sprayed late May, June 5 or so hard frost on DRY soil, took 70% of canola. Reseeded SMF 4" deep with a disk press drill to 6 row barley. It was HOT powder, barley up in 3 days anyway. Worst case I guess. Old enough to be fresh in my mind. Heavy straw more risk, black field less.

                            So what are you folks seeing for soil temps? Field we grew corn in last year and grazed over winter has a great litter cover on it really preserving moisture compared to the other fields. I measured it today and reckoned it to be 4.5C at 2" mid afternoon.

                            We also had a lot of alfalfa killed by frost last week.

                              SF3 would never destroy a goose nest. He takes the eggs home to an incubator and raises them himself...then releases them and they follow him south in the winter...a true environmentalist!
