We planted our roundup ready corn as usual this year. Then we got it sprayed as usual, with roundup of course. Then a week later we saw yellow in the field, so went to see why the mustard didn't die.

It didn't die because it wasn't mustard! It was roundup ready canola. What makes this so aggravating is that we do not grow rr canola, we have never grown rr canola, and it's all over the field. It's too late to kill it with spray, and if you just look at the thick parts, it's one heck of a crop! Trouble is that next year it is also going to be one heck of a crop and so on and so on. The railway track runs through our home half section, and this is where it is the thickest. Then it spread all over the field when it was harrowed and seeded. It's a good thing we've got a fence down the middle of the field, or our entire corn crop would be over run.

We have now got ourselves one h%$# of a weed on our hands. Now the question is what to do about it. Someone needs a kick in the bum, but we need to figure out who needs it the most, Monsanto or CPR Railway.


Elsa's there to show the scale of it. This is where it's thickest.



If you look carefully you can see corn



As you can see by the ruts the sprayer left, we've had a bit of rain.



And it spreads out all over the place.



What a mess!
