FIELD CROP CONDITIONS: CONDITIONS: by John Finlay, Agricultural Agricultural Representative Dry weather during the past four weeks is starting to affect crop growth. Signs of stress are appearing on ■ lighter soils ana knolls in corn, oats and barley. Corn fields are also uneven where heavy rainfall in early June, has stunted corn in low areas. areas. The wheat crop has suffered suffered severe damage on a few farms from Head Blight and take-all. The virus that causes Red Leaf in oats and Barley Yellow-Dwarf on barley barley has infected fields most heavily across the northern part of the Region. Soybeans are making excellent growth having had good emergence and generally good weed control. Hay harvesting was delayed during the first half of June causing spoilage in the field as well as delay in cutting. During the past 2 weeks, second crop cutting has had excellent harvesting conditions. The later cuttings of second crop hay will be reduced due to lack of rainfall in July. HORTICULTURAL CROP UPDATE: Frank Louws, Horticultural Crop Advisor. In the Durham Region area, horticultural crops are off to a good start. The spring began 9 days later than the previous 10 year average but by early June the growing degree days were at normal. During the winter months from January January to April, Durham received received 100 mm of precipitation precipitation which is only 50% of the previous 20 year average. This had many growers concerned concerned about the 1989 crop potential but May and June relieved those tensions with a total rainfall of 200 mm which was 140% of the previous previous 20 year average. This mid-summer report has many positive reflections. The potential apple crop is slightly below average due to several factors. Delicious trees had very few flowers this spring due to the dry weather of last year. Other varieties had a light to good bloom but pollination conditions conditions were not ideal resulting resulting in a medium set aggravated aggravated by a heavy June drop. However, the crop that remains remains will be of good quality. quality. Growers are now busy complementing Mother Nature's Nature's work by giving the apples apples additional magnesium and calcium for good nutri- • tional quality of the apple. Currently, growers are-also- summer pruning the excessive excessive new growth to encourage encourage good colouring in apples. The predicted harvest date for McIntosh is September 22-24. Strawberries were off to a good start with all the spring moisture and the yields were acceptable compared compared to the last two droughty seasons. Some peaches were still sufferin; from the 1987/88 winter but most growers were pleased. The pick-your-own turnout was above normal. Apparently, the freezer supply supply was very low. Currently, strawberry producers are renovating their patches to encourage good yields for next year. Raspberries are also very bountiful this year. Harvest began July 10th and will continue for another short while. Most patches need additional additional irrigation to maintain maintain berry quality due to the limited amount of rain in July. Pick-your-own operations operations are busy and the cooler days makes picking enjoyable. enjoyable. Vegetable crops are also doing very well. Most producers producers were able to seed and plant on schedule unlike their colleagues in south western Ontario where excessive excessive rains prevented field work. Growth of most vegetables vegetables has been excellent. The early processing peas had excellent yields of 2 to 2 1/2 tons per acre. However, the yields in fields currently being harvested have de-, dined significantly because HEALTHY LUNGS ARE A HOLE IN ONEI Support your local Lung Association <136-1010 of the dry July. The first fresh vegetables are also now available including cauliflower, cauliflower, broccoli, Chinese cole crops, sweet com, beans, potatoes, beets, lettuce, lettuce, and zucchini. Many roadside stands are displaying displaying a larger and larger supply supply of fresh local produce. In summary, the spring moisture and temperatures provide excellent conditions for establishing the 1989 crops and a lot of produce has already been harvested. Unfortunately, Durham Region Region has received essentially no rain from June 20th to July 20th. Crops are showing showing symptoms of drought stress and local growers would really enjoy to receive some good rain.
