    Early Seeding Progress now looking like late seeding!

    What started out to be one of the earliest seeded crops in a long time is turning into one of the latest seeded crops. Hm could be a good thing since Drew's long term weathers shows a remarkable cooling in late may early June. So Maybe slow and steady seeding of Pulses and Cereals then Canola will work this year. Last year our worst crop was the Canola seeded to early. Hm But by the amount of Bags at side of the trucks I would say farmers are gambling again in our area with trying to seed their canola first then worry about the other crops. After seeding Canola for more than 40 years it seems the best crops are always the ones seeded between the 16 and 24Th of May in our area. Oh well time will tell. Looks like a huge amount of lentils are going in with all the drills giving it with no fertilizer tanks hooked to the back.
    But by doing simple math of three quarters a day We will not be done till around the 27Th of may with no more rain delays. Yea fat chance that happening. Today were called for Rain not showers and then rain tomorrow. Good luck all we need this in late June and July.

          A hard lesson is about to be dished out to those who just "had" to rent/buy more "mud" at ridiculas prices, and are now in a bind. Again, mother nature rules! I feel for those who are just trying to do the status quo, but for those who ran up land rents and purchace prices - GFYS, you cost evryone around you more for less.
          P.S. - I am still mad as hell that these retards cost me more money to farm this year when profits will be down even on a good crop.
