FML can the weather just keep getting any better. First don't start till second week because snow still on ground and froze. Then the seeding season with rain snow slush rain. Then 5 days to spray then rain and two sun then rain. Then foot rain. Then the week of summer ah how I still can remember it 9 days of hot hot temps. Then august with hail and wind and down pour. Then rest of august just plain shit. Now Snow next Wed or Tuesday does it really matter. Mother nature you win.

Are you still happy with you two fungicide apps. Must be something we can spend more money on to save this crop. -

Me either. But since when is wrong to vent frustrations or point out facts that have made this a tough year for some Producers?
It is up to us to adjust to the forces of Mother Nature, whether it is our attitudes or management. When it comes to weather we are ABSOLUTELY powerless. I try not to worry/stress about things I have no control over. Surely there will be some half decent harvest days in the next two months. Not an ideal situation we are dealing with presently but what can you do about it? I think this "may" turn out to be the toughest harvest I've seen. We are threatened with frost on crops that need more time to mature and the incessant rain/"moisture" is grating on peoples nerves, and rightfully so for some.....
Funny thing is it is the amount of money I spent already, on fertilizer and fungicides, that is making this crop hang on longer... so maybe desiccation is in order, more time and money on a crop that is already in jeopardy of not being profitable.Comment
