    I hear you SF3.

    In the last three years combined, I have barely seeded what I would in one year.

            west aust was mid sept

            seems there is some frost in all areas
            canola hasnt been talked about much but
            took a real hammering

            let you know once harvest is happening

              Ditto SF3, to WD9, most fields worked in this area just to open up wickedly compacted soil.
              20 inches of rain, with 3 extreme downpours with hail packed the hell out of most of the farm.
              Way too wet subsoil besides,this 12mm of rain is adding to our mess. The big water dried very little, fields are fortunately corner to corner.
              Another spin in one spot rain with wrap around where there is too much, and no doubt SFA where you need rain!

              Mallee when will harvest start?

                Huh, yeah, I have burnt a lot of diesel
                this fall and propane too lighting
                cattail marsh flats on fire to reclaim
                many acres. Then disked and as a no
                tiller, a die hard one, I never thought
                I would be so happy to see black sooty
                opened up, and tilled to dry it out
                soil...

                Unfortunately, I never got er all done
                before this as FJ calls it, poison from
                the sky. We are close to a year from
                needing rain!!! lol Hopefully having the
                soil exposed, lumpy, and black, rather
                than covered in 6 foot cattails will
                allow us to regain this lost, very
                productive, heavy land. Yesterday I did
                a 40 acre area on one quarter, and it is
                exciting to see it in shape after all
                these years...

                  Boys your right the rain today isn't needed at all.
                  It's nice to get land back. Did a 160 acre quarter,
                  reclaimed 82 acres, burn rip disc mow or what
                  ever you need. We're on our way back to
                  produce. Great crops after 5 years of mud.

                    We are receiving steady drizzle , the kind we usually get in September with swaths in the field. Should be at least 2 inches of reserve moisture for spring. Too late to save winter wheat. Most is being torn up.

                      We are very dry here in SW Sask. The cracks are
                      so big in the ground that my foot can fit in some
                      of them. We need a good rain here.
