I have to ask, because I don't know? There is a farmer just up the road from me, and he is already bailing (something?) Is it not a little too early yet?
Did he harvest it before he started bailing? Somebody is always bailing hay or ditches around here it seems. Sorry i cant answer your question totally trasher. Its a different country up there and i dont fully understand their farming practices and rotations. However im kinda like you about it, i just follow this thread as well as some other sites (combineforum.com) to teach myself about other farming practices.
So basically to answer your question.......if its hay or road ditches its not too early but anything beyond that..........hell if i know.

I noticed that his field was swathed Friday on the way home, when I was out putting up my fence today in the front. I seen the bailer go by, his field is maybe 400' from my house.

1200, luckily it was patchy and the rest of it survived!
That sure does suck! Pretty big hail stones, eh!
Any amount of those suckers would doo a lot of damage in a hurry.
At least there were no tornados! That was my big fear, Ryan and the boys were away so it was just me and the little one huddled under the stairs in the basement, right before it hit there was a big thunderhead that was slowly swirling over our shop and I'll be honest hail was my last concern! The wind picked up all my patio furniture off the veranda and when I heard it going I thought I was done for sure......it's heavy well made stuff. That's what hail insurance is for, I just can't believe how it sheared the canola off. Even the grass in the ditches looked mowed........CRAZY......40 bushel/acre-5 in 60 seconds............
