Last crop update pics thread before harvest

[sumdumguy]

Some of your crops loved all the moisture. If only we'd have known that we would get lots of moisture, we would have seeded half-rate and fertilized accordingly. We too are looking at lodged crops and wondering about how difficult harvest will be. Good luck and thanks for the nice pics. 😀

We're helping a friend with 800 acres of winter wheat hoping to start next weekend.


I agree. It needs to stop effing raining.

Thanks.... Something I've often wondered... We seed with 6" sweeps and a 4" spreader boot... seems like when you have higher SBU you get way less lodging, really noticed a difference going from a knife on 7.5 to the sweep on 12....


On the barley, that field is full of potholes (it's 393 acres but 3 quarters), so we had superU floated on with a sectional rig... didn't want it going down, and it was doing well until today, and the 1.7" of rain that came with wind.

Furrow, that corn looks delicious. Is the variety Supersweet? I like em young. You coming to Reginato sell them? I might even drive to Saskatoon for those cobs.
