Its important to remember that moisture prediction models only work reasonably well to 48 hours. Beyond that its only a guess.

But furrow some guys have good moisture like SF3 and have really good growing conditions. They need rain in a while for sure but with huge reserves and humidity can hang on.
For the rest of us (most of western cdn acres) its really really dry. And froze. And buggy. And not a good forecast.
But some are fortunate for sure. Good for you SF3 on a good start to the crop year. You deserve it.

Absolutely agree it's a great thing for them - never said it was not - they deserve it after years of mud
But western Canadian weather now where near normal is all

Im just saying that this is what I remember Western Canada being like since I Started farming back in the late 70S. Rain happens in June our wettest month. Its usually windy and its a dry wind. Temps change drastically and frost happens in spring and fall and I believe one year it froze every month but July.
What I am trying to say is with all the excess water we have had for years our plants this year actually look normal. They are putting down roots not growing on the surface and look healthy. Their is no leaching of fert etc. We have plants growing right up to the sloughs and living and might actually produce a crop as for years every thing around a water flat were this sick shit for a 100 ft. out and produced nothing. Now one thing a lot of farmers are noticing is that much water has pushed salts to the surface and some good land has issues that weren't their back 10 years ago.
Time will tell what the weather will do the rest of the year but for some yes we really cant believe we may be coming back.
