Well April sure was interesting cool then snowy then hot rainy snow etc.
Total rain moisture is 1/2 inch for our farm up till midnight. Shower this morning nothing much.
First not out but weekend should help if it gets to 30 but I don't think it will. Nothing really growing yet in our area.
Some back roads still plugged, my short cut to the farm isn't even close.
The Election sucked time to move on. Trump snd Carney played Canadians and they fell for it hook line and sinker.
Crop report.
Seeding has began south of the valley with usual suspects on Monday. North Wednesday a few started on our side but still snow in tree lines and on some North slopes.
So 3% is done in Sask. Funny thing they are going in Swan river and NE Sask as its dry.
We have usual run off with every hole full to the brim. Those that pumped water before last weeks snow its time to do it all over again.
Average Sask Rent I would say is $100.00 acre lots paying up to $150.00.
Seeding intentions in our area.
Lots of lentils.
Peas are done, due to disease.
Oats will be up.
Barley is the wild card but malt guys will roll the dice and seed the same acreage as usual. Some think Corn wont come North so feed barley might get a lift form Tarifs.
Durum will be up and I can't figure out why because HRS kicks its ass on yield and quality if you have bad fall weather.
Canola is expensive to grow and might be a filler.
Flax and canary are the same as usual.
Soy not even in the game.
Our farm its simple.
6000 canola
5000 HRS
600 peas yellow
400 malt barley.
Will be interesting if the weather pattern in place stays or shifts.
Tell about your area and seeding progress.
Off to the farm both drills are almost ready to roll.
