Hows everyone holding up? Stressful days with a big crop coming and violent storms almost every night. Feeling lucky punk? (Dirty Harry voice)

How are your lentils looking that way, did you spray for disease.. been such a cool wet summer this far, early peas are still a ways off yet but looks like big heat is coming

Agronomist says it will be a big crop. Looking great. We sprayed it for possible disease fred just to be safe. It is a bit weedy with Canada thistle but nephew says get those on the preharvest

Here was a feild of chickpeas a week ago and looked as good as it could, sprayed them that day for a second time pass of fung and two days latter they were full of disease,

Not a small size felid either.. still in shock how quick this takes over when conditions are there.. we had higher humidity lower temp 20 degree days and canapy never seams to not dry out with frequent light rains keeping spores Alice they told me.. never had this happen in the past.. my desi were ok, seams to be only specific to kaubui

Wow! That is fast. Sorry to see that fred. Any idea how much of a loss on yield? Never grown chick peas.

Not sure yet, but heard from others the longer the cool wet period persists the more the devastation it is, had a tenth yesterday and another this morning.. could be a $$ ordeal

But yet a mile away the desi feilds look great..

Any of you northern Alta guys know a farmer by the name of Kevin Drobot? Not sure on the spelling but thats how it sounds. Supposed to be largest farmer in Canada? Everyone I ask has never heard of him? 100,000 grain he claims?

You mean the Peterson Bros site? If so yes. What a POS

 

[fredw]

Over all happy with everything except the kaubui chicks where disease pressure was to much even with fung applied.. but they are greening up everyday better and still in flower.. lentils and peas turning quick..

What's your rainfall total so far this year Fred?

 

[kovs]

Hopefully this missed you guys. Been some wild hail storms out there

 

[fredw]

What's your rainfall total so far this year Fred?

3-5 inches it looks since April, but much cooler July so far

Wow by the look of your crops I figured more than that. We are now just over 9 inches here. Your crops are farther along than ours. Canola just starting to come out of bloom and pod up. Not sure on lentils what stage they are in. Peas are podding and still blooming. Ate some yesterday and they were deliscious. Wheat still not turning color.
