Friday crop report on a Thursday.

We heard a few good claps of thunder after 9 pm but only 1 tenths hit the ground here. Thinking maybe today if Bigzee quits hogging it. 😂 Happy for you Bigzee Planes flying yet?

Had the plane spraying Barley yesterday, finish up this morning.

Don't forget the extra work needed to make using a planter a viable option. Maybe extra trash management and a tillage operation and a fert program etc. I'm sure some.of those operations are combines but extra is required.

farma, around here guys are experimenting with a lot of things. Canola following lentils so no trash problems, looser seedbed, better subsoil mositure and more broadcasting/floating on nitrogen removing it entirely from near the seed rows. Improving mortality, faster start, quicker seeding.

While some of us were fighting bugs until things got going, these guys didn't have to worry about that. Had a much faster start it seems.

So after reading rain reports did everyone get something some ways to much , but alleviated the dry for a week or two?

The dry spots were rescued by some last minute rains however, some of the wetter areas got some real damaging down pours with it. Some places already have their seasons rainfall or more by now. And there are coolish conditions predicted. Snowed in the rockies on Canada day. We aren't out of the woods by a long shot.

Seed companies are no dummies, with singulation becoming available on air drills, we will no doubt have a canola (and wheat etc) seed price based on that. So that $750 50 lb bag of seed will be $1500 based on the assumption of 2.5 lbs per seed rate vs the current 5.0. At least lots of guys around here already have a corn planter, just need to buy a set of canola plates.

I've been predicting this for a while. Ever since furrow has been posting pics and comments about his canola seeded with the planter. Told him the SeedCo will steal his efficiency.

There were some nasty storms in south central Sk last night. At our farm nothing major ... half inch rain, now gives us between 3.5-4 inches in a wk.
Friend had a couple fert bins fall over, another got hailed out on some land, they are just west of Assiniboia. Further west of Assiniboia I’m assuming there was a lot of hail.
Radar was purple/red which isn’t a good sign.
I’m at a lake half hr NW of Assiniboia nothing much here .. couple tenths. But 5 miles south there was lots of action.
Guess it’s that time of the year.

Did you read about this guy in Mb seeding with an old hoe drill.

Lol , planters been in use for a long time before we got one .
The percentage of farmers using planters is very minuscule.
And they have their downsides as well like any machine .
But happy with establishment again this year.
Up to Mother Nature now .
We all just seen what happened to CaseIH and that big area . Gone in 20 min .
Ahh but farming sooooo easy lol , I still shake my head at those that think it’s all easy street ...

Furrow if you can get a few pictures of the Planter seeded Canola.

Thanks

Identical seed depth and fert program?

[farmaholic]

Pretty much bang on

......bang on what? No common sense?
