Winter Wheat Emergence 07

[Riley]

Ours was planted around the first of September. Emergence is good and seems to be thriving. East central Alberta.

Seeded some before a half inch of rain in early September that looks marginal. Stuff seeded after the rain hasn't done a thing. Probably something wrong with the seed.

What`s the skookum on a DU benefit for seeding winter wheat?Heard from neighbour they will pay so much an acre to seed the stuff.What about fall rye then?

600 acres up and looking pretty, prepass working on vol. canola, seeded 12th of Sept. Done seeding wheat for 08 the rest will be oats and canola. Midge butchered the CPS this year

Burbert, no one needs your permission to discuss any issue. As far as you are concerned farmers should suffer, grin and bear it to give it all to your precious board.

In central Alberta the spring wheat and barley are germinating nicely. Too bad it hasn't been harvested yet.

SW Manitoba. Seeded my winter wheat during the first week of september into dust. Its starting to germinate but still very spotty emergence.
A more expereienced WW grower told me its sometimes best not to look at your crop too much in the fall or you'll be worried alot and still have a good crop next summer. I hope he's right.

Jay-mo,

This year we have the same problem as you, no rain for a month. If the winter wheat does not germinate till spring... it is usually 2-3 weeks later.... if April has some good growing days!

[boarderbloke]

anybody still trying the winter canola experiment? anybody ever have luck with that?

Mine finally looks decent. Seeded on Aug 23.

Neighbors seeded a week later and shows a really big difference.
