I tried to find a field I could walk in. No dice.
Looking at the current forcast I am hoping to be able to spray by Wednesday back seeding maybe Thursday/Friday ish.

Forecast looks promising for the end of the week.

I saw a sprayer doing work today. I was confused though, what is he spraying? I don't think anything is planted, to a dumby like me it looks like he was spraying dirt.

Preseed burn off. Little tiny weeds that grow into big weeds before the seeded crop is established. Basically kill the first flush of weeds. there will be more for the in crop.

Just got in from seeding HRS wheat. Man it is cold out there. Wind from the NE and feels like snow.

man I tell ya, fields that were combined last winter are messy with volunteer canola. I'm thinking the threshing wasn't quite as good as we first thought. Regardless I'm happy I don't have to run the combine this spring.

guys north of me will be lucky to get last years crop let along seed a crop this year. Its a bog up there.

Same up our way ...
ruts ruts ruts

Our small farm is seeded and mostly everything coming up good so far. Hope all those guys in the wet areas can get their old crops off and get something seeded this year to deal with all that moisture.

Good luck to you guys. We are very lucky where we are in southern Alberta.

Up into the hills for some canola. Way drier than I thought- slough wise. Some of the good land that's fairly flat is worse for being mush everywhere

 

[007sevens]

I can feel the finish line, just can't see it

Almost normal conditions now

Hope to wrap up the 2017 plant today. Been an endurance run this spring but nothing like others farther north. Heard a guy on the radio yesterday say they have been stuck 30 times already this spring and usually done by now but only 30-40% done. Gotta feel for those guys..

 

[kovs]

Lots of brutal stuck in the mud pictures on Facebook , shouldn't have much left b4 the rains later this week... with any luck
