Wheat is Up

Not the price but the plants are out of the ground and showing rows. I took this picture on Sunday evening showing some of the rows. Doing well considering how dry it is. Unfortunately the wild oats are too. Noticed this morning that my first canola field is showing plants emerging which is kind of a miracle considering they were planted into dry dust. 80 degrees by noon today but down near freezing a couple of nights ago. Wild swings in temp but no rain.

We have sure flipped around, years ago your fields turned into multiple year round ponds you have to work around it rained by you so much.

The past 12 months or more you are bone dry, and other areas of the continent are now saturated.

On one hand I wish we could even it out and share, but I suppose the way it is we get marketing opportunities as crop supplies ebb and flow.

Always enjoy your pics, here and the other site.

What a difference 20 deg of latitude makes! Wheat has turned and about ready to combine, here, in Texas.

I have seen several hundred acres of wheat burned
down, and tiled out this last week here. Too much
winter kill on fall planted wheat, and getting
drowned now this spring with constant rain. Very
little spring wheat grown here in Ontario. Not sure
we have had a day when temperatures have hit
70F. Far too much rain and still too cool to make
hay grow. I should be starting hay this week, not
much there to cut even if we had the weather, and
still haven?t planted a seed for 2019

Hard to say which is worse. Too wet to plant a crop or too dry to grow one. I guess we still have hope here if things were to change
and the drought ends. Pasture and hay is going to be a problem. I've got a 40 acre field of stubble I was going to summerfallow but
I'm holding off spraying it as the cattle are using it for pasture as a few weeds and volounteer oats grow.
Funny how it can look so cloudy, dark and threatening this evening but there is really nothing for precipitation on the radar.

That is exactly what we had last year no snow and no rain until the very end of October when I planted my fall triticale then no snow again until clear until the end of January then here it came almost 6 feet of wet snow over the next 45 days then no spring moisture at until the last two weeks it hasn?t stopped raining since
