Quick crop tour yesterday

[Partners]

Started 1st pass on rr yesterday.
Seed treated with fortenza/buteo/prosper everglow.
Zero beetles so far.

That stuff works Partners. Had it in our trials last year and zero damage on the canola with Buteo. Wish we could get it on all varieties

We need a 1/2 inch shower to melt the crust, what are the rest of you seeing?

Grasshoppers eating my barley pea mix well eating the barley now . Going to try that eco bait first to see if that does anything. Anybody had luck with that stuff will switch to other stuff if I have to but got bees on same 1/4. Need about 2 inches of rain ASAP

Worst part of dust chem does not do well on dusty leaves behind wheels.

Everything is started decently. Canola poking through now - some crusting but it doesnt seem to be an issue. No sign of frost damage.

But that 2.5in of rain was soaked up and used pretty fast. Yes could use another quick hitter half inch of rain before spraying.

Later crop catching up fast on stuff seeded a month earlier.

Worst weeds so far is volunteer canola and lentils.

Well we did not get 2, and 1/2 ,
We got an inch and a half.
And I am beginning to think I must have just dreamed
That we got that. It was so dry , it seems the water
Went right past the blue seeds. They are Still in dry dirt
Waiting for water.

Grasshoppers are the worst especially when there’s not much growth to start with. I haven’t looked or seen any damage yet but I’m sure it’s coming.

I’ll second that order of 2 inches............ this weekend looks promising in the forecast for some showers. Hopefully everyone gets some beer clouds🍻
