Canola and planters

[furrowtickler]

When you mean heavy trash are you talking 150bu oat stubble?

No , we don’t grow that here much lately on 4-5 in rain lol .
Hopefully this year is different, or more normal than the past 4 .

You can also add row cleaners to any planter to help trash management.
We have not yet . They are very expensive and our thoughts just more moving parts we don’t want to deal with at seeding .

Peas into standing wheat stubble , harrowed once last fall . Planted at 2 bus / ac



Canola at 2 lbs / ac seeded into wheat stubble that was NH3 last fall , harrowed this spring

So far looks ok . Very low flea beetle pressure and we missed the frost . A few days of heat is needed throughout this whole NW
One thing that will also be noticed, no tire tracks or compaction issues behind planter even in the wettest areas . It will be an issue in some areas this year . Has not been much of an issue here the past 4-5 years being on the dry side during canola seeding time . Although most big carts now do have huge rubber for floatation it will be interesting to watch the next two weeks . May not show , depending on weather ahead but a lot of very wet ground just got seeded here the past 4-5 days . Hopefully all is good

Watch for flea beetles if you get touched with frost . I don’t care what seed treatment, stressed damaged canola gets pounded if there is any kind of beetle pressure.
Sucks at this time of year , hope the best is all you can do .
