Friday Crop Report on a Thursday.

Update-

The canola on that 80 acre field is just coming up with the recent rains. Disaster averted!

Good to hear it was just a moisture issue. We once had a train wreck about 4 years ago on our home section, we were late seeding it was a tough spring and no one was checking the homescetion because everyone thought someone else was lol. Anyways one day it hit us the canola is not coming up. At all. So we went and checked and there was nothing left they had even eaten the weeds. We found one large dandelion plant and pulled it out and this is what we found. We reseeded late but the crop made it so kind of a happy ending but not really.

Yeah they are destructive pests, that is for sure. Kind of happy that they aren’t in that field. The landlord wants it seeded to hay next year. This was supposed to be a clean up year with the canola. Wouldn’t be confident seeding hay into that field if I knew cutworms were in there.
