Good morning rain hit this week some got it good and some didn’t get much.
Some got hail, some frost and the winds continue to give it to us.
We got an inch in two separate days 1/2 last Saturday—and half Sun.
Total 3 inches since May 1.
Gophers are a problem, the province has a rebate for up to half back through your RM.
Weird rains yesterday. A cloud developed by the town sat there for half an hour and gave 1/4 inch of hail.
Crop report.
All seeding is just about done couple of quarters of green feed and it's a wrap.
Hay crop with be like last year but still not that bad. Newly seeded needed this weekend's rain but now coming.
Pastures are still doing ok but need more rain.
Hrs and Durum are at the flag stage or close. No heading yet. Rows are closing in. Leaf mass is like other years so early dryness might take away from top yield. Head size is determined at the three to four-leaf stage. Spraying is done and guys will apply fungicide wheat in our area.
Flax is up and growing nicely most sprayed.
Oats are up and growing nicely, not that many fields.
The meeting I must have missed is canary seed. We have lots of guys who seeded that crop this spring. Patchy and thinner but coming now.
Peas and lentils are the nicest I have ever seen but we are drier this year than other years and every rain since spring was a half a quarter or 3/4 no huge dumps. Disease spraying will begin next week.
Canola is all over the map from just about bolting to you can see rows. Patchy fields I have a few but it is filling in. Gophers like Canola. I don't think we will have massive cabbage before bolting the plant seems to just wanna grow. A massive yield might not be in the cards.
I think the early dry clipped this year's potential and if we don't get a rain or two in July all bets are off. Even theto guys who got 4 inches if you were dry the last 5 years that ran off not soak in. This crop is along way from the bin. But its a nice feeling now that it maybe can rain.
Getting bombarded yesterday fro chem companies and grain companies and agronomists that sclerorina could be huge problem this year so you should spray.
Prices dropped this week so far not convincing yet to spend more. Especially if the next two weeks go back to dry and windy.
One last thing Carney and Europe getting into bed together. 18 billion in trade vs couple hundred billion. Yea I would stick with the usa. Plus as a farmer we don't need the europeion at policies with no cash attached because that would be how Canada would use its farmers,
I don't trust liberals.
Share your conditions and have a great day. Still have one quarter of Canola to spray liberty on but the last two days were awful windy.
