One year ago we started today!

SF3 - I keep looking at that pic of your airseeder and that great big shiny new tractor. I guess things are getting pretty grim around your place. Anyway, good luck everyone in 17 despite what it may look like today.

She's gonna be a great year if we can get our seed in the ground beginning of May. Get ready to give er SF3, even if you have to do it with a tractor that turned green.

Seeding well underway this week in the red river valley. Corn and cereals going down, some starting canola. Beans next week. Chance of light showers tonite, and then dry for next several days. Excellent germination conditions, early seeded canola could be a big risk this year, as a frost later in may seems likely given conditions this spring.

I am able to plow sod now, but it is mucky, water in furrow in places. Will be able to start the spring harvest in another warm day or two at least on the high ground. might give up on waiting for wildlife damage assessment they are in no hurry. Still Frost Right to the surface in the lower ground where I was trying to drain some water. Still a few winter drifts remaining in shade.

Seeding dates not as important as a warm summer.
Some yrs seeded early and was cool most of the summer and it took forever to mature.

Peas were in last year at this time. Maybe start Monday.....

Mosquitos? The ice just disappeared off our lake yesterday. Heard the frogs croaking last week before our last dump of snow which is a good sign according to the old timers. Still at least two weeks away from rolling here assuming Mother Nature can control herself. Pretty poor track record for April though......

Every bug on earth îs here. The bees, mosiq, etc and it aint warm.

Seeding started just under a week ago in our area of eastern Sask.
Water runs from big sloughs and bush area that traps snow starting to stop flowing.
Soil moisture at capacity, five to ten per cent or so of acres out of production unless we get less than normal moisture in next month. Same thing we have had for past ten years.
Optimistic that we will get seeding done on time and get above normal yields.
