Flood is over now the cleanup!

Hi guys

SF3 and everyone else who has been effected by these rains - my thoughts are with you all. Not all of Ab guys are bad and are 'foaming at the mouth' by your misfortune.

Im in NE Ab and to tell you the truth the crops here are no scream in hell. Sure we will have a crop and for that Im thankful but it isnt going to be more then average. From the road things look great but when you get out of the truck there is alot of average fields. The area to the east of me did not get seeded (St.Paul) and I hear the Peace has 6 inch wheat headed and its getting dry.

Just wanted to say that my thoughts are with you all and I hope you pull through. If the grain trade is relying on AB to repeat the big crop last year - it isnt going to happen. Its average at best.

Not all of Alberta is great either. Around Olds, it is ugly, complete drown outs, yellow stunted all over, weeds, lots unseeded, some still seeding today. That is arguably some of the best ground anywhere too.

Neighbor is up in the Valleyview area, says they are very dry. Here, these past few hot days have worked wonders, the purple dead looking Canola plants are back to green, lots of cereals still yellow or worse though.
