Chilly again
calm finally, but sprayer sits for a few hours
challenging few days for weed control

-1 here at 5:30. Between cold and wind spraying is a challenge for sure

Near ideal soil moisture where we started seeding. Think this land got 2.5 inches of rain but rest of the farm got 1.6 inches. It’s hilly and firm but just the right kind of moist underneath. Grass sure came on the last week and see lots of trailers on the road. I’ll admit I have enough ground and cows are running on growing barley stubble and prairie not grazed for a few years, and I won’t put cows on summer grass till June first. I can understand cow guys why they’re turning out early but god hold off another couple weeks and let the grass grow a bit. We floated oats on bush breaking in the pasture a couple weeks ago and a couple days ago when I checked it was emerging. Part of the reason I’m holding the cows off till June first so they have some oats to graze as well.

An amazing amount on acres seeded locally the past 5 days
impressive how efficient farms are now for the most part

1st wheat up
2/3 done
Wheat peas and lentils in
just onto the last 60% of canola

[furrowtickler]

The ole 8910 bourgault parked for spring now
yet another flawless run with it
The Seedmaster SR doing very well now straight into standing wheat stubble not harrowed doing canola
fingers crossed ???? it all turns out again

Peas and barley in. 35% done. Onto wheat , then canola. Interesting how lots are seeding canola last , years ago it was always the first seeded in our area.

same general trend here other than a few one off’s
A few guys with canola up already

Interesting that Canola is up. There’s very little seeding done around here, but a couple of guys are into the last fields- Canola

[WiltonRanch]

Think guys got burnt seeding canola early and getting froze out.
