-2 north of GP.

Finnished wheat May 11, started canola May 13, we are 1/2 done seeding. It has been a long time since we have had some nice April /early May rains! the hay fields & pastures look amazing for this time of spring ! Soil moisture is good with 2-3" slow rains. The Assiniboine river flooded again, most of water off, but didn't take the sticks & trees with it ! Will be a day or 2 cleaning up the mess to have ready to seed plus some wash outs at some road crossings to fix before using.

Canola be FINE at -2,3,4 if so wet. Dry frost KILLS!

Did you get any rain? I find that after rain there is an increased chance of frost. We had 1" but no frost. Not sure how much the hayland got. Grass starting to come on. Really glad it's been cool - hopefully the hay won't bolt too soon this year.

All cereals done, changed drill over to canola this morning and will keep rolling until a rain stops us. Sitting at 60% done, should be done Friday if all goes well.

1.2 and still showers. Forecast clear off Sunday night and freeze again.

I would think possible widespread frost in western Sask Sunday / Monday morning.
Question will be zero or colder , time will tell . Maybe stay above zero but hard NW winds will drive cold air in by Sunday morning

And here it is …

The long weekend frost
last year was an anomaly

What drill do you use now and what are some of the improvements over the 5710.

Running a seedhawk now. Emergence can’t be beat with a dual shank here. But comes with its own headaches too.
