Rainfed Canola plots looking awsome this year, timely rains and lots of moisture before seeding, and surprisingly very little flea beetle damage.

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

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

Dormant seeded Durum, seeded Nov 20,2023 looking pretty good, suprisingly. Part of our #Ultraearly seeding project. Winter conditions were not favorable, was a lot of freeze,thaw, and warm until January, so pretty impressed it has pulled through! #durum, #wheat, #plant24

#ultraearlydurum #plant24 #wheat, dormant seeded Durum is ALIVE! rows are all up and looking good. 2.5 cm depth, the 7.5 cm depth is behind with only a few plants popping out of the ground. Soil temp today was 5 degrees! Time to really get going!

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

Got out our big drill today and got some peas in the ground! Supposed to snow again tomorrow, could really use the moisture so hammer down and get some seed in the ground!
