Latest we finished seeding here was June 7th because of a rainy spring. Had bumper crops that year and finished combining by mid October

Seeded Durum June 15th in 2016 and yielded amazing. Was all feed after the rain and snow we got though. I still have a few days before I'm done here. Will be interesting to see how red lentils seeded June 3rd will do. Don't think I'd have seeder them last if I had known seeding would take 6 weeks lol.

Anyone else getting hail with every storm cycle that comes over this year? Tonight’s atleast 3 times this year so far for pea sized hail. Hopefully not a sign of worse weather to come this year. 1/2hr west of leduc

We are definitely getting moisture now. Looking at some of the fields and what’s grown is starting to turn yellow.
