West Central Alberta Coldest, wettest edge | Neighbor has a crop of barley still standing what was desicated back in early September. Fall forgot to happen this year, and so there is a bunch of crop still in the feilds, including this one. I saw deer in there all summer, but don't recall seeing any in it after desication. They completely cleaned up any little corners or strips of barley that I left standing. And made short work of one swath I left for the neigbor to try out his antique combine. They are happily eating my RR Canola swaths, that I couldn't finish combining. They are digging through the snow in our yard every night picking up any barley spilled around the augers and bins. I saw at least 20 deer across the road from this barley crop eating alfalfa under the snow, but not even a track in the standing barley. Has anyone else ever seen this happen? Do the deer know something about glyphosate that the rest of us don't? Or is there something I should be applying here to keep the deer out of my own feilds? |
