Flood has passed and now the expensive cleanup begins.
On our farm one basement on farm and one in a family members' house in town.
You basically just throw every thing away. You start by thinking I should keep this or that then finally just throw every single thing away.
On farm their is ditches that have been carved out in farmers fields. Yesterday saw water moving north of Leross that looked like a river. The water couldn't go through a culvert under the highway so it went where it could across a guys field then the next then the next the next. Carving out a new water way.
Pumping in a lot of cases why it will just fill up again.
But look at the huge cost farmers put billions into planting the 2014 crop only to have it all taken away in one weekend rain. Ok not a rain a insane rain that spun around and around and then hit again.
Every one knows Im to the point I hate rain because after years of seeing how devastating it can be you just begin to curse the one thing that makes plants grow. Some laughed at me all spring, Quit complaining, you don't have moisture, its not that bad, I saw wet once, You have to much land to farm, Your lazy, on and on. To those who have witnessed flood once you kind of have a idea, those that this has gone on for almost 10 years you hope the times are changing.
But maybe its time to look across the fence and go help a neighbour that is struggling, we all have them, give them a hand. No one out their in Canada gives a rats ass about your farm so you only have your neighbours. We will get through this we always do.
Sun was out and will be for next week ah how nice it is to see that golden ball in the sky.
