rain event

Weather forecasting is another part of the infrastructure deficit in this country.

You hit the nail on the head boarderbloke... But, I wouldn't want to be a meteorologist, weather is too unpredictable. BUT WHY FORECAST RAIN AMOUNTS especially so far in advance. Weather can track 50 to 100 miles in a different direction that anticipated.
Farming is too small of an industry for weathermen/women to care about... just watch the weather network and see where all their focus is...

Happy and Safe seeding everyone.

Being a meteorologist would be a great job.

Where else can you get paid for being wrong.

[farmaholic]

I value what little reputation I have left.......

Seriously.

It's a win win job.

For instance if this next system doesn't prove out everyone is happy being able to seed. They forget about the weatherman.

If he is right it was predicted. One more gold star.


For me, either way I am behind.

Another 20 minute shower overnight. Getting wetter daily.

I wanna harrow at least, but don't dare make ruts. Water laying in last years ruts anyway.

Ahh, farming!

Lots of time left.

Weekend forcasts seem pretty unreliable probably computer or amateurs running the offices

[farmaholic]

Take it easy . Once your organic neighbors start in the field, then for sure you are late.
Neighbors are post emergent spraying before I am finished planting.

Klause maybe you should park your grain truck far away as it might be the rain magnet. Only concrete barely wet last night here. That cloud your way was sure dark. Well that and it was getting dark anyway. Hoping a monday start yet. Wed local forecast is 15mm now. After that looksgood.

I don't know how to take that.

As an insult or a compliment.
