Ok boys how dry is it where you farm!

Sask3. I guess I'm at a disadvantage. "Me and my whole family"? Didn't realize you knew who I and my family was and what we all do. I guess I should be flattered?

Farmer psychology is pretty awesome. Pray for no rain to get the crop in. Put your head down and work like mad. When 90% complete relax a little start comparing to the neighbor. When done look for more land and see what the neighbor is doing wrong and why he is so slow.
Then after all the borrowed money is spent and buried, start worrying that its dry and we need a rain.
Its too late, the money is spent, its in the ground. the leeches already have fed enough for another year.
Dont worry about the weather, let the ****ing banker worry about the weather.

If I could go back in time and give myself one quote it would be "nobody will remember what you said or did but they will always remember how you made them feel"

V just tell all about farming and give a positive spin but also tell the other side and let them see and judge if it's something they want to tackle!
Might get a shower here it's starting to build up! Oh well!

[blackpowder]

I like that quote cotton.

Actually to answer first question , just dry enough to keep soil / root disease at bay and surface weeds none existant while the crop is jumpin hard and looking great with very good moisture below 1 in still

Thanks furrow that really sums it up! Everything is growing so nice and actual felt damp last night

Gonna need some rain for the canola to germinate we are reseeding. 2/10's would be welcome. Hard to believe how the top inch or so has dried out so fast.

Stoughton area and south twenty miles, some guys getting stuck two, three times per field. Its either wet , or there ****ing stupid.

If your area didn't grow canola in 1985 than you're not in a traditional canola area.

In 1980, the first rain came on July 19, after months of hot wind. It was too late for wheat, but Laird Lentils held on and made a good crop. We had fall anhydroused and the soil was loose and dry. The dilemma was do you spray a worthless crop?

Some of us remember how the 80 s were, some forget. The drought got to 5 miles or so from us before the cycle broke. We looked at a machine that would leave a strip of wheat stubble higher than the rest to catch snow. But it lasted about 6 years.
Some say the flood years never happened those who witnessed know they did.
It's farming in western Canada where a place like Melfort was known as a sure crop area till Mother Nature changed that.
Dry right now is good get the roots to go down and take away some of this ground water. Because a week of rain and we would be back in rough shape again. June 5 to 10 yea that will work and dress forcast looks like that's the next event if the blocking pattern over BC breaks down. If it doesn't break down look out were all going to be dry.
