Friday Crop Report! on Thursday!

[fjlip]

Oh ya, crop, just the odd field seeded in area, WET low areas, big water still big and running, NOT all to Quill either. Just TOO COLD. Lots of clouds and 3mm rain, definitely a drier bias, NO wrap around!

[Klause]

If this was last year every rain would be a couple inches instead of a couple 1/10ths. soil still cool, kinda wet today, should be back planting by the weekend.

Might call er quits for a few days and let things warm up and dry out a bit. Should be about 40% done here by tonight. The rest is full of pot holes and big water. A few days might help

[Klause]

what a luxury to be able to sit around and wait compared to last year... run run RUN!

Oneil Carlier perhaps? Originally from Val Marie, SK and spent 20 years with Ag Canada at the PFRA. Just what I googled.

I'll say one thing about the NDP in AB, despite apparently having nothing to gain over the last decade courting the rural vote they are the one party that has always agreed to meet with all farm groups and listen to all farmers concerns.
The PC's were so arrogant they chose to only meet with groups whose political ideology aligned with theirs and that was not accountable Government.

The livestock industry specifically has some worries. If we look at what happened in Manitoba under the NDP, they decimated the livestock industry. Moratoriums on building new facilities, and even on upgrading existing ones, has driven hog production out of the province. Environmental over-regulation to appease real polluters (cities mainly, but also cottagers) has driven cattle production and feeding to Saskatchewan. Under Gary Filmon, the province became a world class hog producer and processor. Now the processing sector is crying for supplies.
And this was with a Minister who was over 18, and from a rural area.
