Eastern Sask has become a dumping ground for rain

[cuban_assassin]

When is this weather cycle going to break! 2005,2006,2007 mud, flooded out crop and fight to get around in the fields. 2010 a complete disaster! 2012 flooded out ! 2014 flooded out! 2016 flooded out!!WTF is going on!!! It time to give up trying to grow a crop east of the #6 highway in this province!!! If I hear one more sask ag crop specialist spouting off on the radio about a good crop and minimal damage from rain to the 2016 crop I am going to make it my mission to get them fired!!! If you are an idiot and have no idea what is going on outside your cubicle then keep your mouth shut. YOU WANT TO TALK TO AN EXPERT ON FARMING THEN ASK A FARMER NOT SOME GOVERNMENT EMPLOYED LEACH!!! SAME GOES FOR ALL YOU SO CALLED MARKET EXPERTS, SHUT UP AND **** OFF! WHAT IS THE CROP GONNA YIELD..... HOW BOUT NONE OF YOUR ****** business!!! You are nothing but a useless middle man that none of us farmers need living off us!! IF YOU HAVE NO SKIN IN THE GAME THEN SHUT UP AND **** OFF!!!!!!!!

"Enjoying" much the same east of Edm too this year. Never seen a crop rot in the field before but just might this year. I am glad I don't have peas this year as some fields looking pretty rough after 3" this weekend.

I can't imagine the feelings of futility with the incessant assault from the rain. Yet there are some who think there can never be too much. The radar looked ****ing intense in East Central Sask today. Tornado warnings. ......any reports of a tornado touchdown or hail, and how much rain fell?

Looks like Yorkton got hammered, but we dodged a bullet. Not like it matters anymore for my crops. When you can hunt gophers in a full bloom canola crop, it tells you how much rain makes grain.

We were just up in Archerwill tonight, they have some of the best crops I have seen in my travels so far this year. At least my buddy up there is looking at some awesome canola and wheat. 40 miles. Night and day. I really gotta take some pics. You folks would not believe it. I have one 220 acre field I honestly will be surprised if it goes much more than 5. 40% is completely gone, as in no plants.

The worst thing about it is that I truly have the worst crops I have seen anywhere this year. It is tough to behold.

Loosing 30 or more percent of your crop in one thing..But how do you harvest the remaining acres.. In the mud bowl...?

Cubin - were you not calling for a major drought pay off at the end of June last year ???
Oh yah only for 12,000 AC plus guys ?? Hmmmmm

[SASKFARMER]

Cuban you summed it up real good!
These are intense storms!

Oh but grass farmer will challenge you on how wet it is!

Water in excess doesn't add bushels it takes away crops!

But the experts still think it's min damage!

F&@kig Morons!

[furrowtickler]

Oh ya that's right you did , because you "big" guys were the only ones contributing to the farm economy - that's right - well , suck it up

[furrowtickler]

Let me know when you guys loose 80-90% of your production - not 20-30%

[furrowtickler]

There are a lot of guys about to loose that and some of you piss and moan about 20-30 % ?
That's life around here

[furrowtickler]

Although I totally agree with you on the Sask Ag thing - that started with me in 2004 frost with minor frost in a few low lying areas - Fukin retards .. Again totally agree on that .

[Klause]

W. Mb same thing. South of altona same thing. Not just sk.


And yeah Cuban was asking for drought assistance last year. Now he's floodesign out???

Now that we have internet and we can watch the weather radar and satellite, it is quite interesting how the rain builds up in certain areas. Out of nowhere a little dot gets bigger and biggger, then orange, then purple. Seeems to dump on the same areas. I should take a meteorology class - maybe will.

[sumdumguy]

It's only 9 degrees right now.

In drought years of 1980's there was a track from Estevan to Esterhazy that missed a lot of moisture events.
Kenosee lake is on that line and there was concern of it drying up. Now it is full again and reclaiming bush land that grew up since 1950's.
Think it is natural variability, not much we can do about it.
