Never trust a forecast.

I noticed that system spinning in from the South yesterday and wondered why Environment Canada thought it was insignificant, but they get paid the big bucks and are probably on the global warming side like our friend Suzuki.

Lasted here till 4 PM yesterday, then a normal heavy October dew last night. Wheat was 21% moisture at noon today

Drew's forecast last spring was well aimed at the mark. Happy that we could prepare. Got our swathed wheat all off... as forecast predicted almost EXACTLY what happened here this week.

DTN, Acuweather, Farmzone, Enviro-Canada... WeatherNetwork. Good Job.

Tom, great that you had a good harvest day on Oct 1.
I noticed Killam was at least 20 degrees for 5 hours and under 50% humidity for 7 hours on October 1.
Our area reached a high of 13.3 degrees at 5 PM on October 1 and the same hour the humidity made a low for the day of 82%

Very poor planning on our part I know.

101.... the reason I said never trust a forecast is the odd time I base decisions on a forecast and alot of the time am disappointed. The last example was the widespread fog that rolled in. Could have done some harvesting the afternoon the day before but thought the next day was going to be good. Took a long time before I could get out the next day!

Never trust a forecast....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No worries! We'll get er done. Might have to fire up the drier.
Have had a good run and got as much done as possible.
