i give up your such a rain expert.

[Goodtime]

Grass..you lost me on this one...how are trees going to dry us out in east central Sask? On a 160ac field should I have 140ac of trees or?????

[may-be]

Grass.. I am also lost on this one. How many trees would it take and what would the area do with all that grass? If you ran into a long string of very dry years would you doze down your trees and rip up your grass to save moisture?

[farmaholic]

......its weather.....and will seldom, if ever, be percect!!

[grassfarmer]

I'm not telling any of you to plant trees or grass on your individual farms just challenging SF3s ridiculous assertion that taking out bush and trees dries up the soil compared to growing a cereal crop. Please yourselves how you manage your land but realise how you do it has consequences on your own and neighbours land. I particularly laugh at the idea that trees hold snow versus letting it keep on blowing over the landscape and become someone else's problem - it obviously does to an extent but equally you can't expect it to blow all the way to Manitoba if you cut the SK trees down. Maybe if you get the Ontario guys on board you could get it all to land in Quebec?

Seems like East Canada has been having some bad winters the last few years since the west has been cutting more trees and taking out wind breaks.

Wouldn't be surprised if the ask the west for $ for snow removal next.

Think sask farmer is just a perfectionist and thinks it is the end of the world to have some wet spots to go around.seeding conditions this year as far as ground being ready was was unusually good.just think if we would have got a bunch of snow and late thaw ?

[SASKFARMER3]

Yea that's it new guy,
It's year and years of rain one wet fall and not much snow nice seeding first time in years and then since May long 5 in plus.
Yea perfection
