    The frost this spring may have had more effects on things than first realized.

              I've noticed the leaves turning here in the last 3 days too. Didn't know if that was normal or a weather/year anomaly.

                See the same thing, does not look like spray drift.
                Started to swath April seeded canola so maybe poplar leaves turning is just part of early season.
                Missed heavy runoff rains, nice to be able to go through dry sloughs.

                  Trees starting to turn in SESK this time of year IS NORMAL. We're having a dryer fall so far, very little rain here in the last 5 weeks, which IS NORMAL. Rye combined already, winter wheat half combined, peas a third combined, canola a quarter of it swathed. This is all normal.
                  Everyone is so use to constant rain, that when the weather goes back to normal people are freaking out.
                  This fall is the first time since 2010(6 years) that our lawn grass has turned a bit brown(never water it). BTW, the wife is sick of having to cut it all year without out a slow down. Green from spring to freeze up. Lawn grass turning brown in the summer or fall here is NORMAL.

                    I read once that 6 weeks after the longest day nature tells plants to get ready for winter. That is when spraying
                    .thistles or quack is best because everything is now going down to roots.

                      In my experience getting 7 inches of rain in the first week of august after 5 tenths from may 1st is not normal.

                      Usually once the tap shuts off in July it stays that way until late September.

                      With only a few spot showers or hail storms.

                      The last 5 years have not been what I would call normal.

                      Guys desiccated lentils and just as they are ready to combine get hit with 3 inches of rain. It's not normal.
