Yes, I'm beginning to question more investment in straw management.
The catch for me is to afford enough hydraulics to make the SR work.
Always something.

It started at harvest , the New Hollands have great choppers and spreaders . We cut short , drove a bit slower but It paid off
Very little hydraulic required for the SR to be honest when set up with liquid

And yes the trash cleaners “look” Mickey Mouse and did give us some minor grief, but 80% of our canola was direct seeded into untouched wheat stubble at 300 to 400 ac / day . Not bad for a 60 ft drill . And we never pushed hours once

Will be interesting experiment!

Enough moisture to settle the dust today….

2” behind normal rain fall.

Praying for rain!!!

You’re not getting any today?

Not that it’s amounted to anything beyond getting the ground wet.

About a tenth in the rain gauge from today. Buddy that lives 15 minutes southwest of me said he got 3 tenths. Have to be honest we need inches not tenths. Nothing last year after the 19th of July. Still under an inch since snowmelt.

I thought we needed a lot , got 1.75” over 3 days , no sun for a week , now all cereals are yellow , not just barley

Don’t ask for rain in this part of the country. Was guilty myself of wanting just a bit to settle the dust well I got it and then some in the next days. Raining again now as thunderstorm is passing over.

In Bourgault’s more recent advertising magazine there was some trials on different sources of phos., didn’t appear to be a benefit either way. I was actually surprised. Looking forward to your results Furrow.

Depends what in the seed row and how dry conditions are till emergence
Bourgault’s test plots are great for sure , but they are in some of the best soils in western Canada and virtually never limited with moisture like western Sask .

1.25 inches last weekend and 2 inches last night, things will really green up, these old dried up clay hills won’t ever get flooded.
