Thirty years of global warming and the growing season has not gotten any longer at all!

But then there expert climatologists guys there told us we will be growing long season crops like sugar cane and stuff here ....
three years in a row here there will be frozen crop in this are due to lack of proper growing season .... with relatively short season crops.
Ahhh well WTH do farmers know eh ???? Lol

I’ve seen this unfold too many times before. A few colder days and then it clears off and that’s it for the growing season. If it does clear off tonight it’s going to be harsh. There’s instant desiccation of the crap making strait cut troublesome though!! My sympathies to those whose crops need more time but here it would probably help the situation

It’s Water Vapor, Not the CO2
chuck read this. all farmers know it already.

Today’s high of five. Gunna be bad tonight. Most stuff is probably ok. But there is a fair bit of canola that will suffer, and some surprisingly green wheat. My hailed barley is kind of needing a hard frost to kill off the regrowth. I always wilt in my inner being with the first frost. What a depressing day. High of 5 for sept 7 must be near record ridiculous.

Entire grainbelt under the frost advisory now. Going to be some widespread damage I would think. I checked my canola today, mostly black seeds but the odd spot has some green seeds. Looks like most canola fields in a similar position, not quite 100% cured. 80-90%. Thats the only crop under real risk here.

Agree, it is a wake up call to remind us we are trying to grow crops where COLD rules our lives, most years. A sense of loss, death of summer, a LONG lifeless COLD winter is 2 months away. Wonder how far south freeze goes?

Australian crops FREEZE too, correct mallee?

Winter storm warnings out for the majority of Wyoming, and significant portions of Colorado.

Heres the forecast for Casper, Wyoming...

Snowed for ten minutes plus here about 5:30. Ridiculous. Temp went from five to zero in a few minutes.

I think this is my earliest snow I have ever seen. Outside the mountains.

If canola seeds are turning and firm, I do not think yield will get hurt. Grade sure will. But if they are pure green and not firm enough to roll, they will be toast.
