Agville survey

[cottonpicken]

I just sort of had the idea to do a mathmatical model here on agville and then compare it against the large actual seeded acrage reports and see how accurate it is.we could all benefit if it is accurate of course big if.so the more numbers the better.

Don't worry checking;we don't expect you to post you can sit back and capitilize of us unlucky suckers

Cuz I'm from the area, and it sure sucks. It is hard to even explain to outsiders what is going on here. Just yesterday, was talking to someone from Regina, they were saying it sure is wet everywhere. I'm like yeah, sure it is.
It is something you just can't understand unless you drive throughout this region. Field after field of no seeding.
And then these guys say rain makes grain. RIIGGGHHHHTTTT.

And reading what I write from my blackberry reminds me of the "special" kids in school

Thought today would be fun to take the lund down the Mighty White Sand. Then woke up and drove back to city.

CP.

And I'm supposed to capitalize, how?

Since you're honest and stated, "we don't expect you to post", who is "we"? Oh damn!, you're correct, there is also Hyde working on the project!!


I didn't seed a single spring acre, and it wasn't the weather that prevented it. Is that any clearer than mud?

[fjlip]

Wadena to Humboldt noway more than 25% seeded from the highway, of which 10-20% under water. Another result of NOT timely seeding and spraying is a dandelion gone to seed epidemic! "Dwain" on Farmgate calling for $100/ acre for unseeded and drowned acres.

Yes I know freewheat. We had acres too wet to seed in 2005,2006, and now in 2010. I know rain makes grain, but there is no grain with the amount of moisture we have recieved this year. The aftermath of 2006 still persists.Salinity,foxtail barley and dandelion got out of contol in 2006 and it has been a struggle to get the above under control. Every neighbors basement has water, roads are washing out, pastures are under water, and many of the local cattle producers are having problems with foot rot and sick new born calves. I have experienced drought, not a south western sask drought, but a black soil zone "drier" year. I think I and many people in this area would like to return to one of those years soon.
