2019 all over again?

Big difference between mid Feb & mid March. Plus this year has been poor for spring barley the obvious alternative so 2.5 ton not bad really. A more normal summer spring barley yeilds would be likely a ton/acre more than this year. Wheat versus spring barley sown Feb, the wheat would be much hardier. From 1st March maybe spring barley would get a way quicker?

Plus this year it was dry mid Feb & sodden by 10th March (from memory)
just gamling and keeping wheat in the whol

Think the weather is pretty sh!t in the states @Flatlander ,
Not been in the house much lately to be honest but if our weather is anything to go by it’s been a tough month to get any remaining crop off. Friend finished wheat a couple of nights ago. But it was so wet it wouldn’t run out his truck. Lots of soybeans some canola and a host of corn still to take off. Won’t be plain sailing from now on.

I believe that my friend will have done his remaining 800ac of canola by last weekend, had a reasonable run since we came home.

Sorry to year that.
It is possible still that it will thaw, or not?
Best case scenario is the snow melts and we get -10 days and -20 at night. That way it’s cold enough to keep the inside of the combine frozen so dust doesn’t accumulate and any snow will blow thru. Plus the ground will be solid and the header will slide over without pushing dirt. A good cold north wind will actually dry beans pretty good.

If I remember rightly you were out near Brandon. I’m two hours from their east. Out weather tends to be a lot wetter than there.
That figures, nearer we got to Wpg, the more wheat there was still to do.
40min NW of Brandon actually, and weather is different again.

Seems the last few years I this area crops don’t want to dry down line normally. Different fungicides have exacerbated this I’m sure but the heads are dry but every leaf is bright green.my yields this year again are very good but if I don’t get the beans off before winter really hits it will be expensive.
