Whats that shinning in Sky!Aw Crap its gone!

[SASKFARMER3]

No I am not seeing a UFO early this morning in Regina the Sun was shinning bright but then it disappeared while I made coffee and looks to be gone for today. Windy and Cold. But hey it rained all way back from lake late last night. Great to get this much moisture.
But here is the kicker just got Drew's latest forecast for week. Crap cool and trying to warm up till Thursday then Rain till Sat and then Rain event the following week. Not good not good. Giver boys if you can mud it in were approaching no seed day faster than one can imagine.

We are now saturated - soil is full. Light rain/drizzel for 36 hrs non-stop. Also a cool 3 for the same time period. At least 24 hrs more forecast. This is going to be interesting!!
fjlip - you have been one of few that has been down this road before, crop in, crop up and established, what should we expect? We may have three days of sun comming but rain forcast here as well by Thurs.

Sunshine and blue skies here this morning, but no warmth. Maybe 4-6 degrees last night. Hardy plants are maturing quickly. Corn, though, is tender, spindly and a sickly yellow color. Pars

Furrow we have had crops destroyed by to wet conditions. This is the low down , Peas and lentils in saturated soils will die, Canola will look okay but will not produce much it will only grow about 1 ft tall in wet areas, barley wheat and oats will be really thin and crappy expect 60% less yield in the water soaked areas. Any crop with stading water for more than a week will die. Too much water is never good. The nitrogen will be washed down out of reach of the roots causing very yellow crop. Reality is setting in very fast for allot of Western Canada, We may be lucky because it was too wet to get into the field to seed, what is worse not seeding or loosing it due too flooding.

That about summarizes it, Breadwinner, our N is all washed down, roots will be shallow and if, IF, its ever a dry spell, crop will be starved. On top of this mess, not growing something to remove moisture is inviting disaster next year. I'm seeding till end of June. You know guys that seed till July! Fallow of any kind is poison to our soils 7 years out of 10. Weeds in the wet spots in crop contaminate the field, salinity increases. Just no win every way you look at WET spring. Is the market aware? Hold any crop you can, squeeze the buyers.

Wanna bet the cwb won't let anyone out of the contracts now? And the fee for switching years will be going up as well.

Seriously, how much cwrs is in the ground?

[fjlip]

100% of mine was seeded, minus 10% drown out minus 10% way too wet poor crop minus 10% crusted like concrete tracks.

[bucket]

In general is that normal for your area. 100% seeded and 70% harvestable if nothing else comes along?

Some sun and 9 today, and then just got home and it's 4 and raining. The sun was in S'toon, well some anyway.
