Breadwinner you basically make my point. You need water to make a crop. Management makes a difference in what you get. When there is no rain or water whatsoever there is nothing to be done. Nothing. So what if 1/3 of you farm gets flooded out. The other 1/3 is fantastic and the other 1/3 is average. Makes for an average crop and rally better then average really right 32 bus! And no I am not dry but many friends are. Beside those who literally have most of their farm under actual water too wet is never close to drought. And one other thing look at the reserve moisture you come into a year after too much rain. Can grow a great crop with very little rain. With drought you essentially need a monsoon to get back to normal. Lastly the hypocrosy is really thick this year with sf3. Last year he was bitchin about how insensitive people were talking about having good crops when everyone in the flood zone was having such bad 32 bus canola crops

Vvalk: ONE year of a decent crop, does not make up for FOUR years of ZERO, two years of less than 20, and 2 years of high 20's. Talking canola here. Had some oats go 30. 30 times 1.80 sucks a bit too. Last year was a transition year out east here. It was finally closer to long term averages.
You really do have no idea, and that is fine. Just like I have no idea how rough it must be to be droughted out, ( who knows, maybe this year we will too!), but then I bet you never have been for 9 years running, have you? I thought not.

Busy with too many coaching duties, enjoying the mud free seeding and ball season. Getting a shower every evening from all the evaporation out west. How can life get any better.

ok wet guys, what has been your average seeded acres per year? i've been as low as 25% seeded. Getting tired of your bullshit also! I'll bet there's a few areas in MB. that have had worse years than you guys. Enough bullshit! Move on for crying out loud!

Vwalk I keep reading your comments and you really don't get farming. 1/3 wet 1/3 awesome 1/3 in between wtf.
It's spreading on 5000 acres and giving it everything and harvesting 3200.
A lot of us have been kicked by Mother Nature for way to long and some hAve had unbelievable luck.
Maybe it's our turn. Their is no sure crop area in western Canada.
Yes drought sucks it got to five or six miles from our farm in 1988. I feel sad for guys who are having to deal with disasters.
If I could get it to rain in your areas I would gladly give you rain.
Their is a reason our land isn't worth the same as Kansas.
Now back to the thread.
I agree with stone picker their cheap coverage for being able to sleep a little easier.
Ag stability. Never ever ever count on it as if your dry you still will produce some thing that will come off what your suppose to get and if it's a gradual decline you'll never get any thing.

Klause your sure a know it all. What makes you think you can make an absolute statement like that. Interesting how the closest weather station to me as had the highest amount of rain the last two years in the list in the back page of the seducer. Not saying that had every weather station is there but it says something. Sf3 im only calling you out on your blanket statements just like many others on here. Not sure what the farm leader comment is about. You keep bringing up my pivots. What do you know about pivots or my operation.
