Fun fact of the day .....

With spring burn off and pre/post harvest applications of glyphosate farmers are easily managing thistles. Its cheaper than ever.
Look at your headlands against the grid roads and you will see your own thistle problems.
I have not seen a thistle patch in my neighbors fields and 100 mile radius for over a decade.
Clubroot will soon have a spray when it gets more prevalent. You can’t stop canola production, that would be disastrous for farmers.

Yes it is manageable, not sure on the possible fungicide, but new genetics built in the seed will be very effective if managed properly.

A more serious answer.
It looks loke not many peas in there. He/She still has the opportunity to plow it down.
I can not say nor criticize what each individual organic farmer is doing because I don’t know and everybody has a different style.
It does not effect a conventional farmer, they spray for weeds twice a year every year so that is a non issue. The only person that organic farmer is hurting is himself. In February I suggest you go make an offer to buy him out. Its that easy.
I sold peas to the hollywood pea processor in Vanscoy (?). They use JGL commodities as a sourcing agent. My loads were 3 months late for pickup. I finally badgered those elusive bastards until they came for the grain. The trucks BOL destination was Moose Jaw.
I did get paid in a timely manner but I am not fond of chasing buyers for 3 months past contract expiry to pickup the grain.
This winter has proven to me that the organic market is getting lower priced and complacent.
I have consistently recommended not to go organic. Pictures do not lie.

What is interesting is I can drop cows off at those guys and have payment after a couple cups of coffee
..and I watch them scale the animals. ...

Grains shouldn't be any different...

Verdient is in Vanscoy but the peas went to Moose Jaw. I am about 350 km from Moose Jaw. I did get paid, I found the logistics were odd.
