Time to start seeding...er I mean reseeding

[riders2010]

It will vary from field to field and area to area, if you are in an area that had great moisture all of your canola was up and ia likely all toast or perhaps just low land all toast. If you are like us we were dry so some canola came up some didn t the low land mostly did but its likely all gone, so there is not one suit to fit all in this situation. The last time we froze the guys that left it had 25 bushels the guys that reseeded had just over 30 so who was right?

just a little heads up on how severe this frost hit some fields . Crops ins - out of 42 plants per there square - 2 showed any life and that was a good spot , 50% of areas were zero - as in *** all dried up pinched off dead. Nothing is ever generalized guys, come on. 80% of the time yes leave it but I have seen total wipe outs before and this is one of them for some guys. there is no regrowth and perfect stands are gone - zip zero left but pinched off stems.

Now half of that just got flooded and is under 1 inch of mud - wow do I love this "normal" fukin weather

This ain't no 98. Way worse. Even burnt ground is buggered. Too cold for too many hours.

no rain here yet, so there are still seeds to come.
what is there , probably 1 in 4 is froze dead.

lots of cutworms, thinnish stand, but still some to work with.
even with a rain, there will be 3 weeks
difference in maturity if those seeds come

lots could go right from here and a lot could go wrong.
need a rain for a start.
kinda pointless to do anything at this point without it..

yes i remember the 1 year when reseeding worked perfect.

I also remember a lot more years of frozen green canola.

mine is all RR , so at least i can keep it clean cheaply no matter how ugly.

Good points sawfly
half our crop was 1 in 4 dead as well, which is no prob. After pin flagging on Friday afternoon we have about 1/3 of our canola that 9/10 plants we pinched off and dried up dead. then it was buried last night - that's an easy decision now.

Heavy harrows with a valmar up fromt . Followed by harrow packing. Voila! - done reseeding in half the time of a spanky new $250,00 high precision extra equal, between the rows automatic shut off 3000 bushel tank super seeder.
