Well first full good week out of the gate with both rigs wasn't that bad. All the Peas, Barley are in and the wheat will finish tomorrow. Then on to Canola since its after the 16th of may. For us thats a frost timing thing and really nice yields happen if we seed around that time.
Last night you could see tractors seeding North East West and South of us, every one is going full guns. One note the guys who either lemkin, spiked or Kelly early then harrow have really nice seed beds to work with. Unfortunately were in direct seeded ground now and didn't get these fields worked. Slow going compared to other guys.
We should hit 47% done late tonight. A few are done south of town and South of the Valley but as you go north things change fast.
No big rain yet this spring but winds are unbelievable and the dress code is a Touque and gloves most mornings filling up. We need heat and heat soon. Not one day warm then temp drops back to like this morning really cold.
Spraying is tough to get done this year, one guy even was going in the mist the other day.
Well except for some very cool nights the first peas are coming up and barley will be out in a day or two. The weather looks good till Monday or Tuesday and eventually storms swing to our side of the province as the jet stream changes.
So have a safe week and tell the rest how things are shaping up in your little corner of the world.
Be safe because the ones at home are way more important than any crop.
