Friday Crop Report week 4

[Old Cowzilla]

Putting fert on hay and pasture ground we will see if forecast rain for tomorrow really happens. Plus 10 this morning so things should start to green up.Lots of guys checking out low spots ,testing things.

[Rinker]

Went out to scout for weeds, nothing growing here yet. The cows are starting to go out to pasture but still need to be fed. The dugouts are anywhere from half to full so hopefully we aren't hauling them water by July. The frost is out and there is minimal standing water left. The odd guy is out with harrows but that's it. We are planning on going early next week.

[SASKFARMER]

New BTO should realize he's not south we have springs frost and water. One stuck other just going again.

I have a journeyman Millwright in the family. He passed

I don't think they apply.
Not changing the course of the waterway. ?.

I was hoping someone else had found out the hard way, so I don't have to.
Upper environment already politely explained to me that anything can be considered a wetland until proven otherwise. And it's up to the landowner to prove otherwise by hiring consultants at their own expense.
I think the definition is broader than just changing the course of a waterway. I believe the definition is closer to disturbing a wetland.
Saskatchewan may be different.

[SASKFARMER]

Water and environmentalists are not touchy subjects. Found a frog a few years back and it stopped a creek that had its bridge washed out for a whole summer.

At first I thought it was the other passed, like in suddenly, oops.

two of my kids are agricultural mechanics and one is a machinist, I still fix my old equipment myself, I guess they aren’t trained for fixing antiques.

Well heck last night all the way to the city the BTO farmers were going. That’s it. They all got the memo and started late last night.

We took out the harrow to try a bit and found the wet spot.

Its April it’s early and nothing is growing yet.

The rain fall in April so far is snow and 2/10 rain.



So here is the crop report for week three.

min rain, with snow the past week, guys are taking delivery of seed chem and fert plus machinery is making its way to different yards from dealers.

sask will be at 3% completed our area is just about to get going with most set for Monday to start seeding.

It is drying up and the frost is coming out, sloughs are dropping and snow geese arrived.

Here the frost slough thing don't happen, if its wet its wet.

[Hamloc]

A couple of neighbours started seeding Wednesday. While it is dry here the soil moisture is better than last spring. Fields beginning to have weed growth. Some frost still in the low areas and on north side of tree rows. But sloughs certainly disappearing.

[AlbertaFarmer5]

Here the frost slough thing don't happen, if its wet its wet.

Same here. I have exactly one slough that is a recharge. Probably an acre in size and a foot deep in the spring, then drains overnight when the frost goes out. Everything else across the farm has to either drain above the surface, or evaporate.
