This has been one of the worst years I can remember for top soil blowing.

Yes even some canola plants covered in wheat stubble from drift soil. Wheat ran 65-70 last year so not light straw by any means

There was definitely some erosion this spring.

Tough being a farmer with all the worry

 

[ferniesnow]

[ferniesnow]

I would be a wreck.

Holy Shlt man, you seed that at 15lbs..lol we shoot for four plants a foot

Had -2 last night, -5 the night before and over 24 hrs of consecutive negative temps..

Did have some snow and rain, but had this similar situation happen in 17 and most lower lying areas were smoked off, durum looked black for a few weeks and peas were toast but grew back at a marginal loss.. canola was a reseed

Probably on irrigation? You're here to criticize all the other farmers now?

Lol, no not at all, but most guys on irrigation shoot for as low as 2-3 lbs a ac seed rate since they can control water..


If that’s his goal great, but for my dry land it would be more excessive for our rainfall

300 acres to go waiting to see if we get the predicted rain tommoro had -3 for 3 nights straight here

How are you liking the seed hawk.. been running the old 5000 flex coil c shank for thirty years now and like it, but just to many rocks being pulled out..

Found a used hawk lately and going to try it for next spring.. hope the 12 inch yields similar to ten inch.. have heard mixed signals

We used to farm with seedhawk and morris paired row we been seeing to much dirt throw and hard starting canola with the morris this is our first year with the hawk again, seed placement is awesome the drill itself is built very weak and requires lots of re tightning love the new icon tank extremely accurate but if the crop comes uo good ill be happy to tighten bolts and weld. 90-95 percent drills in our area are either hawk or master, we may loose a little yeild on cereals since we were 8 inch space with paired row but not much

That surprises me. Most drills in our area are Bourgault and that company is from Saskatchewan?
