This week harvest continues until we all get rained out on Wednesday. Barley yellow dwarf virus continues to move through oat crops in the region affecting many areas. Some canola starts to come off but most is still at swath or desiccation timing.

This week much harvesting is going on as barley acres start to rapidly disappear, and some wheat starts to come off. Canola continues maturing with some getting swathed and desiccated. Yellow dwarf continues to move through the areas oats with the aphids taking down a lot of acres.

This week Lygus numbers explode across the region as canola just starts the ripening phase. Yellow dwarf virus starts showing itself in the new crop oats across the area. Harvest is underway mostly on dryland barley but spotty thunderstorms continue to slow harvest progress.

This week is cool and rainy compared to the last few weeks! Heavy wind and a bit of rain over the weekend stall out the beginning of harvest. Moisture comes too late to help most dryland crops but may help with seed development in many canola fields. Lygus numbers start to rise in some canola fields but with ripening beginning in many fields they may only be a risk to the greenest fields.

This week the hot dry weather continues driving crop maturity along rapidly. Fall Rye begins getting combined and the yellow peas are not far behind! Insect numbers in canola remain low but nymph Lygus and Diamondback numbers are starting to rise.

This week dryland crops are suffering in the hot breeze as things start to mature. Most crops are advanced enough to escape the worst of the harm but dryland Durum in particular is struggling to fill. Grasshoppers start to become a bigger problem in many areas as hay crop are harvested and pastures start drying down. Aphids make a big appearance in many irrigated fields, and dryland pulses.

This week the temperatures remain high and the dryland crops really start to show some stress as a result. Insect counts in the canola mostly remain low for now but grasshopper and blister beetles start to see a big increase in some areas.

This week we get some real heat for the first time this year and lots of crop goes into stress mode in the afternoons to deal with it. Canola and peas are flowering. Most of the wheat and barley is starting to head. Insect numbers seem reasonable for the most part.

This week we're still seeing the effects from some late season herbicide applications as we head into fungicide season. Canola begins flowering and of course the insects follow along with that! The week starts off wet and cold but Thursday/Friday get hot and muggy.

Lots going on this week in the field as we see the successes and failures of weed control products. Some acres still struggling to get sprayed due to weather conditions (wind). As canola begins to flower bugs start appearing. Corn Borer moths start appearing in area. Hail damage also shows up in a few places due to Friday nights thunderstorms.
