Furrow;

Drew Lerner predicted this at Farmtech in Jan/2015 in Edm... for anyone who wanted to accept the forecast.

It pays to heed the warnings. I think I even took pics.

To repeat from a different post.

Yes Drew did.

To about 700 people at Bourassa's Weyburn grand opening (about Oct/2014); those persons heard him say it as clearly as possible. And throughout his key note speech he kept elaborating on exactly how it has unfolded.

For those lottery ticket buyers who don't believe it....there are at leat two types of moisture sources in the growing season.

One is isolated thunderstorms (analogous to most expired lottery tickets that didn't pan out; and the other is a genaeralized widespread rain that isn't at all likely to happen in time to save drought stressed crops basically west of Manitoba this year.

Sure you can get a welcome thunderstorm that is well marked on an asphalt paved road.

You can get extremely lucky and get three or so more on some odd quarter section.

But odds are slim and just remember it didn't probably cover all your farm; let alone a significant amount of neighbors...let alone talking about regions or provinces.

Tends to be a truism... and I'd be suprized if any reputable weathernman ever dwelled on the significance/insignificance of a thunderstorm cell to significant widespread moisture.

But considering the popularity and faith given to lottery tickets; farming decisions may indeed largely be based on thunderstorm "rain" that won't ever deliver the total moisture needed for the industry's anticipated prairie crop.

July heat will do you in

The July heat? ? ?

The June heat has baked it already.

Drew looks to be somewhat correct . Did he mention 10 morning of frost from mid May toid June ? So far that was more damaging than the dryness here so far .
