Question. My wheat (if standing in morning) barely got below damp to the tough range. Earliest got to 15 before I turned the wipers on last night. Desiccated. Could it rehydrate enough or have enough immature, for a big freeze to damage it?
I don't think so.

Any other matter on this thread I'm gonna keep my cake hole closed!

Blackpowder I would say yes. It takes very little moisture to cause bran frost. Whether it will be bad enough will be a wait and see. Good thing is it was ripe and shouldn't be any green frost that is a more serious damage and down grades quicker/farther.

black...lots of variables. Looks like you're not going to know till event happens. Would be planning to bin segregate fields/grades.

You could try adding some words and some punctuation then your posts might make more sense SF3.

Really grass!

[SASKFARMER3]

Grass all I show is that farming isn't this fairy tale life where you plant into dry dirt get timely rains spray on time have perfect summer weather then go into fall with no issues and bin a excellent barn burner of a crop and market for top dollar!
Bull shit it's one of the toughest ways in the world to make a dollar!
So yes we take what's given us but after 8 years maybe this is the new norm and you adapt. Just have to figure out how to not fertilize were it floods and know if it's going to continue or not. That grass
is the million dollar question! But you have that figured out.

Regarding livestock

Yesterday I went out to move the cows in the snow, and was very grateful to have them considering the crop situation this year. They expressed their displeasure with the working conditions, but they will survive a little snow, frost, and even the hail. That said, in a wet spring, I would rather have crops than cattle. Calving cows need to be fed and managed even when the weather is so wet that a MFWD tractor can't go anywhere. Crop seeding can wait or not be done at all, and no one will die.
