...Percy Schmeiser's canola seed came back 3% roundup ready...

I think you meant 97% RR.

[biglentil]

I stand corrected yes his seed came back 97% RR. Blew in from the neighbour im sure lol.

Maybe Mallie can explain why the wind blows.
It really sucks.

Jetstream often over you guys and its flat unimpeded nothing to slow air flow down why some years worse than others cant explain. Opposite here in 26 almost half way through year and no real blows yet except in coastal areas. We often get 80 kmh sand storms on newly sown crops. Actually you should ask glennchuckChuck hes used to be the resident expert on all things climatic

See many of you guys could score 2 inches of rain over next week? Unwanted by many? Guess plenty need it as well

West central and south west Sask could use it
As you can see , everywhere else no
not sure about peace country

I stand corrected yes his seed came back 97% RR. Blew in from the neighbour im sure lol.

Shitty thing was monsanto couldn't prove anything he did was wrong but won anyway.

Yes ownership over life is a slippery slope. With patents expiring after 25 yrs you would think we would have all sorts of off patent options, but they keep new varieties on a treadmill so as to keep the survival of old seed stock to next to nil. Would a 25yr old bag of seed still grow probably especially if sealed. Even Liberty link canola would be off patent by now came out in 1995. In my opinion the tech should therefore be open source.

P1540 L kickin into gear now

[biglentil]

L340 on some lighter dirt, seen 3/4 inch all spring, needs a rain.

Rain .rain ,go away, we are over 7 inches this spring and 3 inches in the forecast. Did a drive north and crops look great but most are late with some very late, Sun and heat badly needed.
