Seeding progress 2013!

or spray it before the crop emerges. The hard frost we have had has limited the weeds thus far. I expect with the 25C weather this week we are going to see lots of weeks in a week. Heck we haven't been able to put water in the sprayer yet cause we would have to then keep it in the heated shop.

Yup, if nothing is growing, seed and spray before emergence, or deal with it in
crop.

I know I never have, and never will wait for weed growth, or a specific soil
temperature. You seed when you can. The window is so tiny, no other luxury is
afforded.

When the water is gone, and the soil is no longer mud; that is when we roll.

Thought we would be the 20th but things
have jumped so we will be going next
monday. Weeds are just starting now. Still
a bit of snow around but 26 with a wind
will fix that tonight. If we do not get a
May long weekend rain even we should get
the crop seeded in good time.

Started Friday. Still some snow banks to seed
around and working from drier land to wetter stuff
as I go. 1800 in thus far it is perfect seeding
conditions but the SW will need water in June or
will be a bust as moisture is not deep. 16-24" on
average

Some seeding started around hills at Jackfish Lake. Water still runnin in main water runs. Some of our land still filling up, but stand alone potholes drying up fast. Backroads still plugged with big snow banks. Hopefully within 5 days for us.

Jd you pulling a new seed master with the seed master tank?
Just wondering how its staying together if they finally have the frame problems of the past fixed. Does the tank work really good.

[SASKFARMER3]

Furrow you sound like us, Snow on back roads deep and not melting fast. Snow along tree lines and water running every where. Some potholes dried up some sloughs getting bigger by the day. Light land to east of me maybe Friday. Heavy dirt next week middle maybe. Lots of long days ahead. Wait and make water run. Frank how is that V ditcher working with your cat. Looks like fun yesterday on the drive back.

[SASKFARMER3]
