Fml rain

[furrowtickler]

Very little in this area other than a few spotty showers .
There are pockets of good moisture but I echo Quadtracks statement , without a good rain this week some areas of lighter land are in trouble.

Two inches. Creeks running full out again of course, crops drowning again of course. I really don't even care anymore. It is pointless. I had disked some water runs that were for 100 years, minor spring run off creeks to repair the erosion damage of a decade of slop and sky poison. Seeded through them finally, and was all nice and smooth. Now they are eroding again. Futility is sickening.

Might be a good haying week though. Figured out the old vermeer gate latch issues, and am raring to go. Square baler and picker ready to go. No payments on my 10 000 dollar haying line up! lol

Alfalfa looks awesome, grass looks great. Sheep are doing wonderfully. No borrowed money, no weather problems, no worrying about urea or nh3 prices, canola prices dropping like a rock, 70 dollar an acre canola seed I need to BOOK NOW, or rail issues. No more nickel and diming fungicides, seed treatments, snake oil applications to a crop where I have no idea what it's value will be. I am in control, no one else. I will charge what I want for my lamb. Buying more sheep. Writing a cheque for them of my OWN cash, and will sell their lambs for more than the price I will pay for the ewes in a few months.

Canola is drowning. Very glad I went with 9 dollar an acre seed this year. Dropped some rented land because the greedy old fellow wanted coffee shop rental rate. Was a freeing feeling. Someone else can farm it and be told constantly what to do, and enjoy the 6 AM phone calls. Hope he wakes up your whole family every week as well.

Feeling great. No regrets. This rain/poison confirms my shift in farming. Would be nice if it was finally dry, but this nasty poison affirms me in a sick, twisted way.

I will leave the grain farming to those who feel rain makes grain. lol Sorry bout my rant.
