Spraying the 2013 crop!

[SASKFARMER3]

Well last week was a awesome week for spraying. NOT!
50 70 90 Km winds and piss. Ok Tuesday and Wed was actually the best day so far this year to spray. Got lots done that day. Wild oats pressure is not that bad Volunteer canola is a problem.
This week looks good now tomorrow and maybe Wednesday then maybe on the weekend.

Puma and refine.
Liberty full and Centurion full.

So what is killing your thistles? We are using Simplicity Curtail M on the wht. and Transorb HC on the canola..Curtail is one of few that has Horsetail on the label..becoming an issue here..

A liter roundup in fall every fall every acre, in
desiccation or after harvest!

2 one litre R-up in beans per season.

Monsanto has advertised quite a bit in the Western Producer that spraying above the old 1/2L rate is hurting your yield and producers need to practice stewardship and not do it.

That being said I sprayed a litre rate last year when things got later and I thought I would only get one pass in. I did notice that it was later then the stuff I hit at the normal rate. I might have lost a little yield but Ill sacrifice that for a clean field any day.

We have been post havesting for a few yrs..still have those f-ing thistles..Trying the more expensive chems. now..

Monsanto caring about farmers using higher rates of glyphosate on their canola is an add campaign. They have a new line coming out that can handle higher rates. If you already do it without yield loss, how are they going to charge more for the new stuff

We were told about the New High Rate canola about 5 yrs. ago..Still no sign of it..
