Friday Crop Report on a Thursday!

Had a good little thunderstorm at 2 am this morning and more on the way as usual.

At least the alfalfa is finally picking up the pace.


And the corn is slowly poking it’s way out along with every weed possible.


Found some duals for the sprayer that we need to modify slightly to mount them. Hopefully this will make that job a little easier. Ordering more bale silage plastic as I think this wet trend will continue like last year.


Just started rolling up old fence in the trees along pavement to replace with new wire. Definitely not an easy or fun job but will be very rewarding to see the end result later.

P.S. if anyone has time to kill there’s five miles to do just like this 😉

Are there mushrooms in the bush to pick? We’ve been trimming trees steady on this year. It’s too dry for weeds to grow.

As a kid the only mushroom “picking” I did was off my pizza. Still don’t like them but eat them if they’re on something. There’s less than normal in the bush but it’s been so cold here. Tomorrow will probably be our one day of summer so we better enjoy it😎

Now we have a frost warning for tonight so I think I will leave the sprayer parked for another day!
I know it’s just weather but why always cold? Alfalfa looks decent but going to need heat to get the flowers.

Frost again ?
Man we need a return of sun spot activity

Frost could happen at Swan river and maybe cooler down from kamsack to melville. But not lower than zero.

I would take a little near frosty night for my beetles. They are almost pets now.

Some guys going into second pass of insecticide.

In all my years growing canola I have never seen them this voracious. We have never had to spray before. The canola always outgrew them.
