Live by the sword die the sword someone once said to me while running bad in a high limit poker game. In the long run good play rakes in the chips but variance can be a bitch.

How much did you end up with Klause? I have been hearing some ugly amounts, up to 4 inches. Not good for anybody.

It just won't start here. Not a drop nw of Saskatoon. Almost none in June. The week of heat coming is going to take a lot of yield potential. Too much or not enough-ah Saskatchewan farming.

Unreal. 4 inches at yard most of our land 3/4 to 2.5

[Partners]

We are at 1.6 inches at the yard..
Some fields by Watson/Englefeld look like 1/2 water..

Less than half a tenth so far and a cool 16 degrees.
Don't need any either. Soil moisture is just a light toe scratch below the surface.
Is the June monsoon season going to come to an end and thundershower lottery season going take over?
Things are chugging ahead...wheat is starting to head on the pipeline right-of-way and lightest(soil) spots(not too much). Canola is bolting with a hue of yellow, fields earlier seeded than ours are yellowing up. The warm sunny week ahead should really push things along. Hope the Great White Combine, sometimes the booby prize of winning the thunderstorm lotto, stays in the shed.

Wrap around clouds got us again, 2 day total 1.8" , 1/2" today, but took 8 hrs. Extremes!
Hoping for the heat, sorry dry areas.

[checking]

5 inches in one hour at Lampman. Yikes!

Nothing finally getting my wish!

.7 south of Prince Albert. Been 10 years since its been this good and dry. Its a nasty mofo of a cycle when it decides to get good and wet. Lasts longer then a person ever expects

[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.
