Got the last shuttle of Roundup from our usual dealer, as well as the last of his Barage. He says deliveries of chemicals have mostly stopped in the last two weeks.

Wow! Our Ag retailer said there are shortages on some things but so far I have been able to get everything I need. I already have all my in crop spray set aside as I heard there was gonna be shortages

How are things looking out there? We are finally getting a little bit of rain today. Crops look generally good for the most part. The dryland really needed some moisture. We have 315ac of durum that has about 10ac of wireworm damage. Most in crop spraying is done, just have to do the 2nd pass of roundup on canola. Weather has been challenging for spraying.

We just started getting some light rain an hour ago Johnny. Crops look good thanks to that 1.25" rain a couple weeks ago. We could stand a couple inches to get some reserve moisture again. Only my peas sprayed so far. Lumiderm treated canola is looking great but some flea beetle damage where we weren't able to use it

First thing in the morning, mid afternoon or supper timeish?

Bought a jug Monday for my kid to use on his property. Last year $60 and $74 this year. Must be still trying to pay for the formula?

Yeah and not to mention glyphosate is becoming a completely useless chemical by itself.

Yeah we are mixing Korrex with it now for glyphosate resistant kochia. They say 90 % of the prairies have it now

I just finished 2 days ago but it was a long process between the wind, the heat, morning dew, and cold nights. Dry land crops are under a lot of stress at the moment.
