Only in Canada at seeding time

I wonder if any wild oats that managed to sprout or any sprouted volunteer cereals, flax or canola can survive minus 7, minus 8 with wind chill. It's been freezing here since 9 p.m. last night. Probably will be freezing here for at least 12 hours before the plus temp is reached.

Mother Nature's preseed burn off.

I know one year the -10 nights for 6 nights in a row turned the kochia white.
I think and canola that has “sprung” with these temps could be in trouble. Hutts have a good 800 ac in, would be a taf bit worried.
But these companies have a re-seed program.
They should have strict guidelines as to when seeding canola should actually takes place.
They do have guidelines when chemicals should be applied.

Inch of snow overnight, soil temps near ZERO now. Forecast for more next 3 days.
