Why one area is really hurting.

[tweety]

what changes would you like to see SF3 that the rest of us are so unwilling to?

[SASKFARMER3]

Tweety honestly you bring criticism and not much else. Your like a troll.
But hey it's a open site so troll on.

I know too much rain and continuous downpours do drown out acres North of Regina. I just want to share the experience around Lampman in 2011 and likely still happening where entire farms were covered with up to 12 feet of water, with nowhere for the water to go. Farmers getting to check their farm homes by boat, now that's water. Story imparted to me was that it comes from north of Lampman due to ditching.

Sum dum, people are always looking for someone to blame. Farmers with are an easy target we are the minority.

I dont know about that particular situation but a closed basin sucks, go for a road trip sometime and check out devils lake, its unbelievable.

Changing the landscape from grass to cropland probably had a much larger impact than draining.

Hmmm still haven't heard bu per acre, must be still counting .29

[tweety]

That's your answer SF3? I'm a troll?

You're recalcitrant SF3! I mean seriously! Here's hoping you get 20% more rain then last year.

[SASKFARMER3]

I give up its a thread about one area that has had above normal rain for 8 years and how a recent study shows farm drainage was 1% of the cause yet Tweety dumb makes it about yields. You just amaze me.

[SASKFARMER3]

Oh and the you hope I get 20% more rain than before that's a nice comment. Wow it shows your intelligence and no your not a troll not at all.

[furrowtickler]

We have been through the worst drought since the 30's already - we've known tough times long before you, and probably will again .
I hope it quits raining - not only in your area , but MANY other areas that that been fighting mud, and you get back to normal . Don't wish drought onto the west that is just childish .
"You just wait till you get4-5 years of drought "
WTF is that ?? AGAIN - WE HAVE BEEN THERE !! With virtually zero govt assistance as well.
Good luck and have a safe spring

You are missing an opportunity here SF3 - don't you see by simply stating what your canola yields were you could prove how badly hit your area has been?
