Got going again up north yesterday where there wasn’t as much rain/snow. Planting Invigor 340PC with John Deere 9570RX pulling 86’ Bourgault 3320 with 7950 cart. Seeding into excellent moisture, should help the seed get off to a good start.

Late start this spring - this is the first field of canola. Rain forecast for tonight and tomorrow - might be down a few days after. Moisture conditions are decent so far.

All done our 2021 cereals now into canola! First year for us to be straight cutting canola. This isn’t a pod shatter variety - didn’t want to swath it as it was too short and not enough stubble to anchor from wind. So far so good, very little shatter from standing in the wind.

Barley and oats all complete - into the first field of wheat. Moisture is 19% but straw is breaking up good. Supposed to “rain” tonight, will see, weekend forecast was a bust.

Productive day - finished couple fields of Synergy barley now on a larger field of Ruffian oats - making some oat milk! Combines able to go almost twice as fast when dealing with 1/3 of normal straw.

Last straight cut header finally arrived so all the machines are going. Yield up north a lot better (still not great - but better than they were south). Barley is testing 16-20% - everything going through dryer. Hope to make some time these next couple days!

Straight combining Legacy barley - normally this variety breaks down so bad if left standing this long (which is why we swath barley); but since heads aren’t as heavy this year we are able to get most of it with minimal losses.

Early start to try and get some spraying done before the wind picks up again later today.

It’s been a dry and dusty spring so far - last few days it’s been as low as 16% humidity during the day. Had some showers move through last night and thick fog this morning, hopefully it means a change in weather!

Planting Copeland malt barley with 620 Case Quadtrac pulling 86’ Bourgault 3320 and 71300 cart. Can almost do a full quarter per fill. Will start extending the shifts in the next few days. Still getting down to -5C at night. Moisture is not too bad - should be sufficient to get seed to germinate. Then Mother Nature needs to help with the rest!

Earliest start for us in well over a decade. We are going to do a “soft start” and make sure everything is functioning properly and setup. We bought two 620 Case IH Quadtracs over the winter - one is here the other one is delayed at factory, so we have our 9570RX hooked up for now. We will be using a Bourgault 3320- 86’ with a 7950 cart and this winter we also bought another Bourgault 3320 - 86’ with a 71300 cart. Hoping to gain productivity with the extra 10’ and 500 bushels from our 76’ and 7700 cart we traded.
