Checking out the Crops

Checked out the canola after the rain #northernalberta #agriculture #farming #johndeere #caseih #canola

[@jeremycherny2041]

Good morning. Guess we were caming when you put this video out. Crops sure look good in your area. Best I've seen for a long time.

[@chadtosh6831]

Weird, never have had a fan plug on my old box drills 🤔🤣🤣😆👍🍻. Would like to go to air one day…. But the old JD 9350 drills are working pretty good yet.

[@Northern_Farmer]

Haha yea...my friend seeds with that drill....great canola he has

[@barneyshort8227]

⁠lol on the box drills.

[@chadtosh6831]

@@barneyshort8227 hard to get mad at what works. Lol 😆. I really like the 6 inch spacing. Helps close the canopy in quicker I think to trap moisture and help with weed suppression. Fertilizer is a pain in the butt though. Do a lot of spreading.

[@jeremycherny2041]

I seeded all the canola at 4.7. Looked like hell like yours and now its filled in and looks pretty good. At the end of the day as long as the canola has groceries it will put out.

[@Northern_Farmer]

@@jeremycherny2041 yup...same here..should see it now

[@johnviney7919]

Thanks for the video, Tyson!!

[@jordanbeardy8798]

Least you’re breathing in fresh air not like theses past years with forest fires and stuff must’ve been hard on the lungs lol least this year it’s raining eh

[@Northern_Farmer]

Damn rights ...I'd rather it be like this

[@ihus9950]

I'm sure you'll get it fiqured out Tyson👍🏻

[@robkent6321]

Crops look good up there, we have been a little dry and cold the last couple weeks around our area. Some places catching timely showers but not general rain.

[@Northern_Farmer]

My south farm with the canola is getting tons of rain...

[@user-kf9fv1qj9u]

Great video Tyson

[@randykrochak1185]

You can make a snorkel kit out of an old round, aeration ductwork, and a elbow

[@Northern_Farmer]

Might have to

[@larrybg9293]

Good stuff

[@jmfarms3555]

According to some research i read years ago the best row spacing for wheat is 5 inches. Hopefully your canola on the edges of where you missed the rows will grow big and bushy and help make up for the misses

[@randykrochak1185]

Thanks for video Tyson, why don’t you use old Jd drill for canola, new drill for cereals ? Put a nh3 kit if need be on old drill? Prework your canola fields in fall. When I worked at Deere we sold a few like your old drill and farmers install nh3 kits. Canola well level out

[@Northern_Farmer]

I might

[@jb-vz4wb]

I wonder if your soil will improve after a few years of no tilling. It might be hard the first year of no tilling, but after a few years it might get better. I dont farm, but thats what I've heard

[@JoeBachmann-ry7wm]

Ya the unseeded stripes are kind of embarrassing, I usually tell the neighbours it’s a test strip when it happens around here…😂

[@harveypenner2386]

Great Video!

[@teko7462]

How about a video about your dozer that caught on fire and what you plan to do with it.

[@Northern_Farmer]

Coming up soon

[@barneyshort8227]

lol. It took time convincing the old grandpa to change for us.

[@landlifem5872]

I kinda prefer the 6" spacings for cereals , much better canopy and shading out weeds, but with the pre emergent herbacides kinda gotta be on 10-12" spacing otherwise get too much soil throw in to the furrow . Ive just got real old school stuff so have a 6" and a 12" machine . Some neighbours talk of 18' for canola , don't see it much thought

[@Northern_Farmer]

My buddy has 15inch spacing...it's looking really good

[@daleolson3506]

Deere announced this week.laying off 600 and sending the jobs to Mexico. Keep this in mind on your next purchases.

[@microsoilenhancersinspirey5750]

I don’t buy green anyways! So just another excuse I can use!! Ha!

[@markweiler8172]

The blue and red ones and the other green ones are built overseas also So what’s your point?

[@microsoilenhancersinspirey5750]

@@markweiler8172John Deere sucks was his point!!

[@2007dalin]

we have 10 inch spacing on a seedhawk and 12 in on a seed master.. no difference on yield on cereals and canola but peas is a bit worse on dry years with the 12

[@Northern_Farmer]

I guess they say the really narrow spacing is better for cereals

[@darrenzimmer1251]

Canola not looking too bad, got a 1/2 section that froze bad lots of bare spots

[@Northern_Farmer]

It was cold here to..

[@ErVan_AG]

Good blockage system would have picked up that issue. A and I products have better meters to help space the seed out better, should be able to get the at Martin Deereline.

[@Northern_Farmer]

Yea I priced one out at almost 30 thousand...worth more then the drill

[@hughmackellar7941]

Trying to grow winter canola in southwestern Ontario. Mixed results.

[@carysmith9039]

When will canola be ready to harvest It looks good 😊😊

[@Northern_Farmer]

Sept and oct

[@stevemondal.]

I think what you got to ask yourself is,,, What would Shawn do? LOL.

[@Northern_Farmer]

He would shrug his shoulders

[@blacklisterd]

👍

[@thomasharrington5369]

👍👍

[@hughperkins707]

If you use a 3-4 year rotation I’ve seen where the volunteer canola will fill in the gaps. Good luck 👍 You only need one plant per sq. yard to make a crop.

[@Northern_Farmer]

They say 5 per sq ft

[@Noah-qi3ct]

Just say this is a special new canola and it needs isolation strips lol

[@Northern_Farmer]

Lol

[@Northern_Farmer]

14ft spacing

[@leonbystrzanowski]

Stick white canes in the corners and say it's A secret summer fallow trial with an anonymous chemical company....🤔

[@ChiefAUS]

That was too bad about the fan plugging up and making those bad passes. I like the idea of putting a snorkel for the fan intake. Would it be too late to replant, or would it not be worth it?

[@Northern_Farmer]

To late as it is...canola should be blooming yellow in a week

[@taylorjennings2218]

That creeped me out when the spirits of the dead started coming through the trees.

[@Northern_Farmer]

Haha

[@duncanmcleish3683]

Hi. Has it dried out and warmed up yet? Had a week of really hot humid conditions here in S.W. Ontario and was starting to get dry but have had some nice little showers that helped out. Thanks

[@Northern_Farmer]

Just had a few days of some hot weather last week...really made everything grow good.

[@duncanmcleish3683]

@@Northern_Farmer Humid here today. Thanks for the reply.

[@andreakeeling9217]

5:40 Ummmm I would go back and replant those empty strips. Quickly.

[@Northern_Farmer]

It's to.late ...I'm a bit worried about the canola that's growing

[@scottdemers3672]

Do you have a old set of disc drills throw some canola in and seed it

[@Northern_Farmer]

To late

[@sasfarmer]

Would it be time & cost effective to change openers to single row for canola and paired row for your cereals? That is assuming you seed your canola last. I wonder as you are saying if it would be advantageous to spike or use vertical tillage in the fall on any fields to be seeded to canola the following spring? I have also wondered about compaction of fields as many have been zero tilled for decades as to how well rain is being absorbed and ability of plants to grow considering how hard the ground is.

[@Northern_Farmer]

@sasfarmer lots of work to change tips over...with the wet fall last year it packed a lot...a light tillage to relive the compaction should work good. I had to disk my pea stubble this spring and the wheat is awesome in that field

[@BillStecik]

Man. That’s all profit.tell Laurie that was his section

[@Northern_Farmer]

Lol

[@banjobenson9348]

That rain should cover you for a nice while.

[@Northern_Farmer]

Another rain coming tuesday

[@jasonclark3127]

Would you use your old drill to plant the canola?

[@Northern_Farmer]

I could

[@billbooth4147]

Can yall subsoil / deep tillage? Or is it too rocky?

[@Northern_Farmer]

I used to chisel it every fall before worked good on wet years
