Farmer talk

It's mostly copper, boron, and other micro-nutrients (magnesium and some other stuff I think). We put a bit with the blend on the entire field, but a little extra in certain areas prone to some diseases definitely seems to make a big difference for us.

Cool. I learned something today. Lol.

Core samples to check what nutrients are in the soil and what aren't Doug. Helps to come up with a fertilizer plan for the next years crop.

So tell us, how doo you handle that mess? Get the rake and turn it into swathes again or just run it through the combine?

Put a straight cut header on, and start plugging away.

If you rake it you will lose more than 50 percent to shelling is my guess. I've always said with canola that 100 things can happen to it and 99 of them are bad.

Hope those turbo's hold up for them. I guess they are having problems my Deere dealer told me.

I never thought about that problem but with the pods crispy a lot of them would break, eh!

friggin' Mother Nature can always throw a monkey wrench into the pile of things to doo it seems!
