Manitoba's Screwed for now...

[agstar77]

There were some desparate big time farmers playing in the mud yesterday. They may have seeded a quarter. Probably have to be reseeded. Nothing will move for 2 weeks, puts seeding into the latter half of May. Yields down quality down ,ugly harvest. Interested in the next seeding report.

Now yous know why yous should calve the Old Nags in January. Its cold, but at least its A DRY cold, ain't gotta put up wit slop either. Also calves are alot bigger in Fall & they gist do better being born early. Furrow, we already have a Lake Manitoba, its straight West of Lake Winterpeg & almost as BIG. Gees git out & see the WORLD......

bizarre weather here in scotland too. no rain on east coast for 8 wks, 22oC
Crops going yellow due to lack of n, no rain to wash it in.
winter barley going through growth stages but not getting taller.
spring wheat/barley not germinating unless perfect seedbed, some irrigating it. its unreal

I'd trade you Hedgehog, or come take 3/4 of our water for the rest of 2011. It's all totally unneeded here.
Costing us millions.
Weird weather on the whole planet.

Yes, we will!

How wet were you before this snow event out there? I haven't made it down those parts this year yet....


Snapped this pic about an hour ago... I bet my drill will be under the snow by morning. LOL.


Going to run to town to pick up some tires at Kal Tire, and the mail on Monday, then spend some time out in Saskatoon with my girlie. I'm afraid
I'm going bonkers watching this snow.

We might have started by next weekend if the nice weather would have continued...who knows now....guess its time to put the swamp tires back on the apache. maybe I should have kept my 40ft concord instead of upgrading to a 50ft.
