Buried Canola

[biglentil]

Set the drill as shallow as it will go, back packing pressure right off and knock the dust out of the furrow without hurting canola. Im dumb and crazy enough to try it tomorrow morn. I should be able to get lined up.

That's a shame Big L. I don't know if your shallow drill pass will work, but I am concerned for your crop. Suffocation is a real possibility.

I'm just relating back to when I was 12 years old doing summerfallow with the JD 820 and a Glencoe cultivator. When the teeth were worn and didn't cut off all the weeds, the small ones that got buried didn't survive.

Hope your canola fares better.

I was in dream land last night, the blow dirt depth is far too variable, some spots its only covering plants by an 1/8th. Two options wait n see or go straight into reseed.

We had canola two years ago came up nice then got pounded with hail and buried it . Had to reseed it all on pea stubble. Left a strip and it was not great at all , too thin and weed control later was an issue
You may be in a different situation biglentil if it is not packed hard . That's a tough call , no right or wrong there

If you can wait two more days you may be surprised how much comes through .

Problem if it does make it through, it'll be VERY prone to be cut off with even 25-30km winds due to the leveled surface, and the fines just sitting on top. If it comes through you might need two weeks of showers to keep things settled down so the canola can jump ahead.

Ya true , not fun to deal with either way
Guys got canola pounded north of here yesterday with hail . Emergence will be iffy now on some fields

For guidance contact the canola growers agrologist.

I would mark plants of varing depths, and come back in two days to see how the plants are dealing with it. If they are turning yellow, then id reseed.
