Same. Had it bad in our stack yard years ago and picked it and burned it and hasn't been back
Yah, that's my experience with it, I've seen it get crazy bad in some reclaimed leases and stuff, it's like foxtail in that it loves worked that's left uncared for, ditch lines ect,but once you have an established grass stand or in a good crop rotation it doesn't compete well at all

I've just picked it and it seems to disappear, I guess it depends on where your located, but in our country Scentless Chamomile never really gets much of a foothold beyond a few isolated patches!

I have 2 small patches. I will try pulling out. I just want to get a handle on it.

How’s the recovery going…?

I was driving around with the crop insurance guy this morning but forgot to take a picture. It actually came back quite good and I was originally going to cut it for green feed but now I think I will combine it. The staging is all over the map though.

We had one tip over on prepped gravel pad with anchors. It’s concrete or nothing for us now.

Was happy to see all mine still standing after last Mondays wind storm from the Okotoks warned tornado. House didn’t fare as well though.

Friend east of town started on peas. Running 15bu/acre. Probably the best farmer in the community. Sad times are coming.
Grain company's need to pull their heads out on these $10 new crop "specials"!
Wife and I delivered a bull to Carrot River.... "I know I'm not that smart". But from vermilion to nipawan / quill lake/ Humbolt/Toon back to verm I could have counted the number of pea fields on both hands
I know I'm not a paid stats can monkey but I'm guess we are in for a serious drop in production this year!
