          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.

                      I long for that one time in my 20 year
                      career, in 2002 I think when I walked out
                      in the field, dug a bit with my heel,
                      found no moisture to speak of in the top
                      inch, and figured we could use a decent
                      rain soon!!! lol

                        got the hired man cultivating my ditching and levelling ruts also boy is it ruff out there. He's going hard and burning lots of diesel too, the fact that the tractor is free tickles me, farmworld cannot get my tractor going so got a free loaner. If this keeps up might have to do an oil change on it LOL.
