Total rain fall from last wed to sun night?

[SASKFARMER3]

Well 35 got half inch to inch and the rest got 1 to 2 tents. Shitty showers that differ from one Mile to the next.
Nothing like driving down a road and seeing water then a mile away dust behind.
If this is the big rain event drew was talking about for the summer we missed it.
Hopefully theirs more but looks like that is it.
Hopes and dreams that's farming!
What did others get and area?

Warm water blob in the Pacific Ocean makes West dryer and Eastern Canada colder. Google blob weather. Guess we are stuck with this pattern until it dissipates. Spotty showers sauntered through the Regina area and East since Friday afternoon. Land just East of Regina got a couple of small showers amounting to 4 tenths or so, but east near Qu'appelle and Indian Head rain gauges showed upwards of an inch to 1.5. A violent front headed SE down 33 highway Sunday evening at about 8:30. Maybe someone out Sedley way could fill us in.

Nothing.

Didn't settle the dust.

Calling crop insurance to have it written off. Then hit it all with roundup.

Or maybe wait a week for a few more stragglers.

Small storm fronts built up again yesterday all around only to dissipate.
Heavy hail reported north of here in several locations. trace here.

Didn't settle the dust to 7/10's on our farm.
Where it was most desperate it got nothing.

[SASKFARMER3]

These are funny systems as they move in know particular pattern. Yesterday as a example early morning first one to move through. Heading in a east to SE pattern for our area gets to about 10 miles and the storm turns half south right for the valley. Nothing. Later the next on the same pattern gets to about 10 miles out and boom one half north and dissipates the second south again past our area and then turns north again.
Third and fourth split. Finally look on radar and for no reason at all one develops from nothing and heads strait east over our area and slowly curves north. Yea it started at our area with a tenth but turned fast into a bigger rain. 1/2 to almost one moving North East.
Tired of looking at radar as with shotgun rain you either are blessed or shit on in each and every storm.

You have some pretty darn nice crops SF3

[SASKFARMER3]

Thanks, they are at critical time for that first major rain to take to next level. If we miss its not going to happen this year. The ones who got the good soaker are going to have a good chance of getting their the ones with 2/10 or less will struggle soon.

Let it grow and bale for cattle feed....a lot of cattle producers will need the feed, or will have to disperse. Have had one really good year for prices and bingo...another setback!
Some of you guys would have enough grazing for quite a number of animals, but with the "new way" of business, there are no fences, watering holes, etc.

.40 inch. Since last wednesday .90 of an inch. Remember guys these are thunderstorms, not low pressure disturbances. Same here eight miles south maybe half tenth yesterday.

[HFL]

We had 3 to 4 tenths across our farm from Thursday to Sunday. Now the forecast is for temps in the 30s by next weekend. That will be pretty hard on the crops.

Guess its hail insurance time. First week in July can be bad, then exhibition week.

sumdumguy;

cumulative rainfall over the last week:

Sunday, .12 inches
5 days ago, .17 inches
7 days ago, .21 inches

Not to sound ungrateful, but a hair over 2 tenths in a week is hardly a drought breaker here. It is the condition of my canola I am the most concerned about. Short and bolting and can't reach the fertilizer in the midrow. Chlorosis in some patches and some cupping and purple plants, stressed and deficient. ****!

Lets hope those that need get and those that got are grateful.

[bucket]

I can do better than that.

3 tenths since may 1st. Some guys a few miles south even less.

I don't have a rain gauge.

But it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see crops are ****ed here. Or will be after this week.

This year I appear to be having as much luck with the thundershower lottery as the Lotto Max with all it's MaxMillions.
