Well, we are at it again, seeding in November this time. Dormant seeding Durum! Soil temp was 2 degrees, Seeded Nov 22, 2021. Brian Beres
Here we go again, #Plant22, Ultra early Durum, Seeded March 21, 2022, soil temp 2.7 degrees, good seeding conditions, surprisingly dry in the top 3" but lots of moisture below that. Last seed date was Feb 9th, 2022 at 1 degrees #wheat , #durum, Brian Beres
I dug up some plants today and there are some amazing results. The bigger seeded Nov 22, 2021, they made it through the winter. The smaller seed seeded Feb 9, 2022. Maybe we are on to something here! #durum #wheat Brian Beres #Plant22
This is an action shot of our other drill, knife openers, we call it the mini pak 😀 Brian Beres #Plant22 #wheat
UPDATE Ultra Early Durum, we seeded Mar 28th our 4 and 5 degree dates, pic is as follows left to right: Nov frost seeded, Feb seeded 0 degrees, Mid March seeded 2 degrees, just seeded March 28 4 degrees (just started to germ hard to see) Brian Beres #durum #Plant22 #wheat
UPDATE, Ultra early Durum seeded Oct 31, 2022. There are a few plants popping out of the ground and most have germinated and are on their way to the surface. Brian Beres, #wheat, #durum
Well, we finally finished seeding #plant23, Dormant seeded Durum went in the ground Monday Nov 20th. Soil conditions were great, soil temp 1.5 degrees with cold Temps in forecast. Seeded a rainfed and Irrigated site this year. Brian Beres warren taylor, #Durum
Well, we are seeding again, Nov 18, 2024 New trials again, ultra early #wheat and #barley. Soil temp on rainfed was 2.3 degrees and irrigation was 0.6 degrees. It was REALLY cold seeding, but got it in right before the snow fell. We will see how the Barley does! Brian Beres
Ultra Early Barley! Once again we have shifted gears and onto Barley. Looks like Dormant seeded Barley will pull through. Brian Beres. Things are looking good! Seeded Nov 23, 2024. #saskbarley #manitobacropalliance
SEEDING has started #plant25, ULTRA EARLY barley and wheat plots are going in the ground at Lethbridge today! Irrigated soil temp 0.4 degrees, rainfed 0.8 degrees. Good seeding conditions, wind is making it so cold on the seeder! #saskbarley, #manitobacropalliance, Brian Beres
AAC Brandon going in the ground Mar 24 Leth, AB using our 12' Conserva Pak. Seeding conditions were great, soil temp 2.2 degrees. Just to show we use larger scale equipment also! #Ultraearlyseeding, Brian Beres,#albertawheatcommission,#saskwheatcommission,#manitobacropalliance
