Rain does more Damage than Good.

[wilagro]

Complaining about rain and weather is one of the most useless things to do.
Live with it or get the heck out of the farming business.

True Wilagro. Can't argue your logic.

But can we say it's not at the best time?

You are a heartless bastard and taking the only conversation I can have away today. Lol.

That remark was in good fun much like I say it to a neighbor. No offense intended.

2 inches south of Biggar, north of Rosetown, west of highway 4. Hanover belt only for rains coming from west. This rain came from south. Very thankful for it and could use 2 more.

1.5-2 inches in our area , central mb, but lots of wind with it. Cereals took it the worst. Flat and twisted. Flax flat too but hoping it comes back up. Heard 5-6 inches in places like virden and tilston plus the tornado. Wild weather. Some areas way too wet now and lots of crop loss.

Willi then take the drought for the next ten and live with it! I hate rain in insane numbers like the last 10 or more years some got great crops thanks to our loss! So yes I hate rain. And if you get 10 years o drought willy you will to!

Point of this thread is rain at August 1 or close won't give positive results its to late for the dry areas will regrow! In wetter lodge and flooding will take yield! This 4 inch rain event is a negative!

3" here.. Will be a net benefit..

Drove by your place jd green on Sunday. Was going to pick up grand kids and bring them to farm.Oldest is 5 and named Noah.Every time he comes to Saskatchewan there seems to be a huge rain event and was a joke about the ark.Especially 4 and 5 years ago he came in may..Yes jd green your area will be ok with this rain like us.

Is that a net benefit for this year or next?

I am happy for cattle guys, the cows probably needed a bath by now.

[farmaholic]

The irony is I would have liked more to recharge the soil but the timing is aweful. Yet thankful we never got "too much", yet!

Wilagro, do you have any skin in the game? Easy to comment from the sidelines.

If stating facts is seen as complaining so be it.

[SASKFARMER3]

Point being yea will recharge the ground water because next year with elnino could suck worse than this years drought! That's a positive for those who are adequate or just hit top of water table this is not good at all yield will be taken away as some areas won't get harvested do to flooding! Yea water is good to a point that's it then it becomes a problem! Pumping garden today so what's their will survive! Creeks running not good but no rain so far today is awesome
