North Dakota Drought…2022

Interesting. Does that go for winter cereals in your area too?

We gave up on them because they could not complete with spring wheat… and too often came back second growth with delayed maturity… not far off spring wheat.

Same here , also too much winter kill and hard to get seeded before Sept 15.
When it worked it was good .
Agree with Tom , the new HRSW varieties can actually outperform winter wheat

I've been hearing the same thing about seed ever since fall. But lately I've had two different retailers tell me there is quite a lot of additional canola seed now allocated, they have been quite a few returns due to input costs, .
Local seed cleaning plant said they have good availability of nearly everything right now.

With prices where they are most crops show a profit if costs are kept in line. I’d like to see crops other than canola as good of a margin so we’re not chained to that one trick pony. I don’t know about the rest of you guys but country here is half canola.

Aside from fall rye, which is a friggin weed, I've yet to see a fall seeded crop that can handle low to non-existent snow packs with extreme cold, and chronically low fall moisture for establishment which are both common here.

June moisture is the make or break for all crops here. If its cooler, and preferably cooler and wetter you can grow a winner. If July heat and shotgun shower season shows up early like it did last year everything withers and dies.

It’s a big area dry
Hopefully moisture starts coming regularly in the south ….

I could not pull that up on that site . Just 2-3 year rolling , not year specific .
Maybe someone else can show that ?
