Its starting to Roar!

[SASKFARMER3]

Hail and rain hit Regina this morning at around 6.45 nothing much for hail but pea size and it is now moving NE toward the valley.

Heavy rainfall for areas in the Lentil country and Also Canola country as it swings back to Yorkton.

Ah the crop just keeps getting bigger he says with Tongue firmly planted in cheek.

Yea its a bin buster.


Tomorrow I will have my prediction for final numbers of this years harvest from a farmers prospective not some A$%hole in a tower or on a phone to 50 friends who always have the highest yields and the best under ground storage a man can find.

Fj, We are under the same bulletin. It looks almost province wide. I can smell my rotting hay already!

[SASKFARMER]

If it wraps around and gets going later today look out!

[furrowtickler]

I doubt we will get a drop north of 16 here

Would you say that the area of Kndersley to Outlook to Moose Jaw is the majorest lentil-growing area in SK? 2 more inches of rain predicted for that area today. Need to do lentil tour soon. Yes, we have lots of skin in the game.

And now it's drawing a bead on the Allan area. Shotgun technique looks like.

[sumdumguy]

Kindersley/Leader on Radar at 4:20. The satellite is showing system north of Dieenbaker and across the province. Yikes, who needs that now in lentil country? Its a muggy hot system. Yikes, get your hardhats.

[farming101]

2 to 3 inches in Elrose area back towards Kindersley with large amounts south of the river too.

Wrap-around established

[farmaholic]

Some people have no "luck" dodging bullets. By the radar i watch, even SF3 seems to be a regular targeted for systems and cells that pass by to the north us. We got very little so far but is sure windy now.

[Rareearth]

Wait.....it's not in the bin😬

Wouldn't want to short this or be short.

It is supposed to rain again Sunday / Monday 😀

[sumdumguy]

Mikado, Canora are you surviving?

[SASKFARMER3]

Got hit later in day out tomorrow to check for hail damage again.
