1.5 inches north of Lancer. Timing was perfect as we had not had much rain since before seeding. At least not alot in one shot.

So different, 1.6" and water in every low spot. Way too wet subsoil, too hard rain and it runs off. No rain needed here for a month plus hot hot hot.
Spraying through water just like 2010. Sick of water in the fields.

Red Deer Alberta: A lot of water in the last few days. Low spots starting to make some impressive ponds! Drowned out crops in low spots very yellow.
Otherwise, crops are growing well but spraying is way behind and some crops won't get sprayed. Lots of muddy ruts where people tried spraying!

Sorry CP for the slow response been busy pumping basement and helping out a bit in town. We officially crossed the 5 inch mark since Friday. That brings us to about 13 inches since May 1. If we get another inch overnight and in the Morning, Weyburn and Estevan are in trouble. Not the crops the Cities The river is higher at the Farm than in the Early Spring and there is a lot of water to come off the fields yet. All going to Weyburn and Estevan. Sounds like they have opened Raferty to Record levels.

Did you catch Bob Smiths friday morning
comment,"we are going to have to see a lot more rain
for flooding to be an issue"-bet he wishes he could
take that one back ,lol,obviously has no clue how a
watershed works that is saturated and then gets a
dump of rain.
