Planes everywhere today

[MBgrower]

lots of planes around here, mostly for fungicide app. No difference in efficacy between air and ground if both applied correctly and under ideal conditions. I use both, but hate trampling over crop with a ground rid.

Plane did section lentils this morning. May do more next wk.
By the time I spray with HC then tramp again for desication the track widens out so more yield is lost. Plane charges me $9/ac so more than pays IMO.

Quick trip to Regina this afternoon and on the way back we saw four different spray planes, right from drought to fairly wet.

I don’t know why any air operator would put herbicide on. It will cost them more in crop damage claims than they make. Chopper guy here burnt half the country in drift. I don’t know a plane operator in the area that will do herbicide unless desiccating.

Who’s putting on herbicides this time of year?

As long as those planes stay in the air!

It was 7-10 days ago. Showing the damage bad now.

We are quite a bit later up here in the swamp.

Planes are great for maturing crops, smoked the army worms this past week!

We farm the asshole of the RM of Moose Range. Everything flows to us.
