Getting into hay in wet country. There is a move you will regret. There were hay farmers from fort MacLeod that tried to expand to the Outlook SK area under irrigation. Just could not get good hay dry there.

It's all about whose pesos.

Started at 4:15 this afternoon. Sure feels better than before the shot of rain.

Rounded second and closing in on third.....home stretch soon. Probably could do more. But not sure if I want to.....it drives me nuts at times...most times, lol.

Work safe when you get out there!

See how nice for you farma to be DRY and get rain, we are wet and get rain, have to sit for many COLD days.

I hope you get the weather you're looking for fj!

We have been given a stay of execution here, a new lease on life. We will need rain later again, like everyone does after a while.

It's a tough living, a risky living, stressful living.
It can be as bad as the worst roller coaster ride ever built....almost bi-polar. As I've said, not for the faint of heart or anyone who knows better.

A few years back, seeded 2 quarters to timothy, bought a new square baler, bale wagon..thoughts of sugar plums and dollars...followed by a drought that lasted a couple of years ...timothy needs moisture...China market dropped off....and BSE hit. A buddy also said " do you want to spend the summer waiting for hay.."
But, timing can be "a money maker"...not necessarily if you are smarter...or a harder worker..luck and timing can make a big difference.
Look at my home Alberta...had everything, then Oil tanks, forest burns and little moisture for ag...timing can be everything!
May be the right time!

It's Tuesday. Years ago a landlord of ours from BC retired and decided to come and farm, seeding and harvest. After the first year he always joked that it was Tuesday. Everyday was Tuesday because it just didn't matter they were all the same for a month in spring and another in fall. He had been a bean counter and never experienced anything like the farm time crunch.

Its the nature of farming, every year is a crapshoot. That's what farmers enjoy, isn't it? We are just 2 little rains away from laughing or crying.
