big frost in oz

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.

Figures, Foam Lake and Tisdale close to an inch, Swift zip today.

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.
