2023 Wet thread #1

It’s definitely still wet out there.

WB on all our clays here now effectively dead, having not responded to the second or third doses of N.

One alternative to WB would have been SB planted before 07 March, which would now be equally dead, or sometime after 20 April, which might do 2t-4t/Ha. based on past experience.

Fortunately, for some reason or other we decided to replace 80% of our WB this year with second wheats.

Cue next take-all thread.

Wasn’t the first time and won’t be the last.

Where are you in Sask?

An hour North of Regina.
See my other post this morning in the ‘Weather’ thread.

Looks like a welcome 5 consecutive dry days is about to come to an end…

Spring barley drilled Feb 25th has finally got to tillering now, it’s looked pale since it emerged but is looking far happier in the last two days

I had just finished the last field of beans drilling when the heavens opened.

Alas, my spring barley doesn’t look as perky as yours, @T Hectares

Bet lots of people were rained out the field tonight, that was sudden and unexpected.

The first proper dust I’ve achieved this spring.

We’ve had a few issues with capping and slugs on the chalk, can totally understand how trying it’s been on heavier soil !!

100 acres of linseed in yesterday, the pain will probably start in a weeks time when it starts disappearing quicker than it appears

Put the row crop wheels on to finish the N on the OSR, it would be great if I could keep them on, but iirc I'll be squashing everything with the 650s again soon

Another couple of weeks here with all the rain coming in from the east will do us just fine - staying mostly dry here.

But not so good later in May, and June.
