Weather Relief

[farmaholic]

If it isn't going to rain any significant amount here(SE of Regina), at least we may see some relief in the form of cooler temperatures, less intense wind and higher humidity.

Rain is probably on its way. 1.5 inches in EC Alberta and still raining. Can hardly believe it.

The spin has a hole for MOST of Sk. Strange the clouds are moving S int Idaho? Rain is decreasing in forecast for us every day. It's NOT dry just where some seed ended up and the LUMPS from too wet. Sounds great for most of AB! How many leaves is the April wheat?

The rain lottery pick me pick me.

Rain Lottery ...isn't it funny, ticket prices are quite high. But lots still willing to take their chances.

Has the crop came up? Or still sitting in dry dirt?

[biglentil]

shes all up same Se regina as well

Building bins this summer if Alberta sends us 11/2 of rain soon. We've seen many springs, especially in the sixties and eighties, where we couldn't get enough rain to erase drill tracks. It always panned out and I think it will this year too. Farmers have patience, or something.

nice timely rain here east of the battlfords. seeded into perfect moisture may first to the twenty first all done. now an inch of rain. making nothing but money. ah farming not for the faint of heart. but its only a crop. enjoying long weekend with family.

Super for the guys who finished seeding and those who have a bunch of hungry bovines to feed. Enjoy the feeling. its precious.

Here, everything was seeded "into" moisture, it's what happened after that could be causing the problem. Hot, dry, windy conditions.....relentless...day after day. Reprieve now though, although no precip since last 7.8 tenths (oh so grateful for that one). Canola is poking through but as stated before, afraid to look to see if alot could be stranded in dried out ground.

Flea beetles chewing my Dad's radishes off, told
him he should have had the seed treated with Lumiderm. Instead he just used some insecticide dust....hmmmm?

73 mm 20 miles east of Edmonton since Thursday morn. Unprecedented 4 day rain in the last several years !! After a record warm and dry winter and spring. We have 10% left to seed, but it will be awhile as forecast is for showers until Thursday.

sumdumguy, I think the cold air already condensed/squeezed most of the moisture out of this system in Alta, we will get the leftovers that fall off the table, if there are any!

Still not a lot here at farm, getting more just east of here but it is nice to be on the back side of this system finally .
Good rain building and coming in from NE
Bin there - you should be getting a good shot today??
