    Games.

    One or two guys reseeded Canola ground to Barley last week to West and North West of us. Said piss on Canola. 600 to 1200 acres.
    I went with a customer yesterday, seen some very weird frost damage NE of here. Some fields hit hard , others barely touched side by side . High area scorched , low areas untouched. The cold air seemed to stay just above ground level in most areas . But where it settled down it froze hard.
    They had some soil moisture in the worst hit areas so there is recovery on most plants and they did get rains last night through that whole area.
    But the have lost 7-10 days maturity.
    Lots of reseeding in certain pockets here
    The beetles raised hell in certain fields and certain canola. But most issues by far are canola on canola where guys never sprayed ASAP . So it is what it is .....

      Forgot to mention there is so much Chem damage from neighbors spraying each other it’s unreal didn’t think it could get worse than last year but it has. Booms 3 feet in the air 30 to 50 km winds and the guy doesn’t spray one pass against another guys canola and he’s spraying wheat the spray is going a mile you can see it smell it. There has to be some tougher laws.

        we are in a weird spot here. So some guys around Regina and the province got lucky rains and should be able to carry on to near potential. Other guys have nothing and are going to spray it out or bale it I guess. I am told there is like zero hay.

        But now here we are in the half crop zone. Looks like 20-25 bu across the board if it stays like this. Some guys got their canola going in heavy wheat stubble but thats going to looking for a drink pretty soon.

          Oh, this info I got last week, one Dairy and a larger cattle guy sent back all Liberty spray. They both will silage the whole crop. Cows rule. Crops don't.

          Oh, one other tidbit of Info.

          Look for a company that sells nice heavy equipment being potentially bought by a blue company.

            Wheat going backwards now
            Seen peas that are done east of here
            Knolls turning blue .
            Agronomist was out yesterday, broke her two hand spades .
            We have had light showers 6 out the past 10 days at times but it has done nothing.
            Our crop still hanging on but we are a week late now on useful rain

            As far as totals , 1/2 our land base still below 1/2 in from Beginning of May . Some at .6 to .75 in total
            Seen fields of peas turning blue here too on the knolls. The midslope won’t fare much better. Early wheat going to suffer same fate. Canola the wildcard it can do mysterious things, but like 2013 it shut the tap off completely once the pattern was set. Plan for the worst, hope for the best, thats how we’ve managed here over the years.

              Half inch here that I am thankful for. That will help for a few days.

                2 inch total so far. Fastest trip to the farm in a while. Yes, thank you Baby Jesus.

                The storm is wrapping around and coming back but not as strong.

                    I guess Toronto won't be the only ones holding a parade on Monday. Agrivillers will also holding one to celebrate SK3 getting 2 inches of rain.

                    Just couldn't keep it to yourself eh!

                      I thought my rain guage might have a leak, pressure tested it with my breath. Nope

                      Maybe if I leave some power tools outside or leave some bin lids open, I will finally get some.

                          Getting a welcome rain here now. Going to be messy sorting off yearlings this afternoon. Phase 1 of de-stocking. The rain is too little, too late for the grass. Hopefully it keeps coming and we can still make a corn crop.

                              Well HIS prayers were heard? …. Get off your knees SF3 or it might not stop raining and you could HOG it all summer. Happened here in 2010.

                                According to Austranada my crops have had more glyphosate than rain this year. So far just slightly over a tenth since April 1.
