Noticed glyphosate is working fast this year. Volunteer barley turned yellow just a couple days after spraying.

Noticed glyphosate is working fast this year. Volunteer barley turned yellow just a couple days after spraying. We noticed that on preseed burn off also. Got a good kill on most weeds including some big cleavers. |

Noticed glyphosate is working fast this year. Volunteer barley turned yellow just a couple days after spraying. For the price of it this year it better.  I did a few fields with eclipse and noticed the RU was working quicker and better than the lontrel part. Usually lontrel will show up the next day if not sooner, not this year. |

Was looking at my canola which is going to be VERY stagey, from plants just starting to volunteers in full flower.
Volunteer is looking like it has aster yellows, but has pods 4" long on it, I think someone mentioned that this could be a different strain?
No bug damage of any consequence to either volunteer or planted crop, not sprayed either.
First pass was Eclipse, with 5 gal nozzles, was a slow reaction, but most weeds are quite affected, time for the next pass though.
considering the timing I am totally undecided on fungicide for this mostly lousy looking mess, I am not wanting to dump too much money into this looming disaster.

Sprayed some fungicide on our wheat last couple of days. Got some barley and oats done by plane. Was looking back in my spray book and we are only a couple days behind spraying fungicide compared to other years. Our Canola is maybe a week behind at most. But talking with my neighbour who has bees and he figures on average the canola is 10-14 days behind in the area he has bees. Which he doesn’t mind as there should be flowers for a long time this year.

Drove over 2200 kms this past week, and the worst looking crops are around home 😔. Overall the crops looked pretty good all the way out along the trans Canada, came home through Saskatoon and 16 home, noticed a few areas looking like they could use some rain, and a few areas I would say had been wet but have recovered since then. From about Yorkton on looked to have the most moisture issues.
Canola here is bolting and beginning to flower. Wheat is beginning to head out, oats looked decent just driving by, barley hasn’t improved. Never looked to closely, didn’t feel like driving anymore today, My back and ass are sore.

Well jumped on the Indian and went for a bike ride today to look at the crops. I am shocked at how fast our crops are growing in the flood affected land. Got to be something in that red river water!! Looking back one month ago on june 17 I was seeding my oats. I finished the oats on june 19th. Today less than 1 month later my oats are thick green lush and I am starting to see the panicle poke out basically heading out . In 25 some years of farming I have never seen such rapid crop growth and almost perfect weather to boot. I kinda just shook my head in disbelief on my ride today but feel fortunate to have a crop. That type of crop growth has to be some kind of record here and wonder how we can manipulate this type of weather for the future. he he he!
Its strange, the one year I would love to buy more hail coverage is the year I cant. Our MASC offers us 400 max. I took the max but with crops possible grossing over a 1000 bucks an acre this year, it has changed the way we look at crop coverage. I feel the hail issue is more a concern than an early frost here.
Tomorrow is forecasted to be 38c with thunderstorms. Not good!
Hey kevlar, the barley does not look to swift over here as well. My neighbour harrowed the crap out of his barley field and probably packed it to death. You can tell the fields that are harrowed before the seeder are showing signs of compaction. Our heavy clay is something fierce.

 canola is looking good here it’s about level with the window on the door of our F350  looks like the barley will have some bushels in it also. Should be some straw to bale this year as well. |

Just finished crop spraying today, did our new Round Up Ready barley variety, we’ll see how it turns out. The little that is there is anywhere from 3 leaf to flag leaf.

A quick question. After todays storm and lodged crops, how soon after would you get the plane to spray a fungicide on your oats or wheat. It might take 3 or 4 days for the crop to stand up again. do you wait

What gets drove on when it’s down will really suck to pickup. |

If it's the plane you take it when you can get it now. Plane here seems to be going steady in recent days.
Coverage on half a plant is probably normal anyway, so if it's leaning probably doesn't make much difference. Like shmiffy says I would not drive on a pancake flat crop. We had flat wheat in spots after the last rain and it came up, have not looked this time yet.

Got our hailed wheat adjusted today, from about 10-12% loss. Still looks better than the rest of our crops. Neighbour across the road had something like 25% damage to his corn.

 was cutting hay today beside the neighbours oat crop. I’ve never seen leaves like that except on forage oats. on another note last year on this day we were chopping silage and the barley was almost too dry. |

Nice flag! On July 1 my corn was knee high. July 20 well over my head!
