Good points all but this shit has been happening for 8 years!
Funny thing is how some just don't get how much damage water can do! It's not funny!

SF3 - some of us from Sunny South Alberta do get it. From the extreme event some of you in the East experienced I'm willing to bet that it's not just a loss for this year's crop but that there has also been significant damage to your soil and fields, not to mention infrastructure. I never had anything that extreme but I once got a dump of 3 and 1/2 inches in less than half an hour. Lost a section of RSW ( flag leaf) to root rot and it pancaked so hard the air seeder couldn't break the crust when I tried to reseed. It cut new gullies in undisturbed native grassland around the borders. Took about three crop cycles to get it back to normal. Irrigation farmers will put on 20 or more inches a season, but not in one weekend!

So if I make it past Aug 9th again we should be as good - on pace with last year. except "heat" damaged peas that now have root rot.

Furrow from your area right to bc is excellent north to meadow lake and south to kindersley then the problems start out of this area. Good on you . Keep hoping 2015 is beginning of our rebuild back to where we use to be.

Absolutely hope things get better in eastern Sask
Like I said , between my brother and I we covered most of eastern and south east sask at end of June - I was sick to my stomach to see all that water and dead crop

SF3,

In case you missed it... the peace river area has as much area as all of Manitoba.

And a big chunk of it is way too dry.

Forest Fires burning out of control all over in north and BC.

SF3,

Take a look at this map;

Ontario Quebec and the Maritimes have been much wetter than you.

Tom again you have no concept how big of a area was flooded do you!
Again that's why you are so good at keeping ritz informed on farming!
In my bubble things are great!
Take a drive see!

The links didn't work the way I had hoped. Anyways if you look at the 30 day and the % of normal SE Sask and MB are worse then ontario and quebec.

Tom I would quit posting shit about how other areas are wetter than us! Gee the north shore on Kauai is wetter than us!
Stop showing your true colors! Your looking like you don't know anything about agriculture in canada! Tough to run for fed politics if you don't know about the farming area in canada!
Oh wait you might make it!
