Fricken rain can buzz off already!

Man I wish we could trade our hot dry weather here in Ontario for some of your excess rain. The corn is starting to get shorter now with some plants not even able to put a cob on. Some spots in the fields are okay but go a bit further and the plants are shriveling right up, turning white. some are predicting a 50% yield in corn and slightly better than that in soys.

Some fields are a complete disaster depending on soil type and management practices and there doesn't seem to be a common denominator this summer. A few spots got rain at the right time and those areas are like paradise.

It's the driest I've seen it in my 5+ decades on this farm.

[farmaholic]

Is it too early(8:59 a.m.) to mix a drink?

[farming101]

Straight up. Coffee that is

May-June-July we are at 13" compared to average of 8.64" so 150% of normal. Beautiful for us, been dry in August so far so could take some more any time.

Farmaholic, it looked black out your way. We got enough : 1-1 1/2 inches East of Regina. Real nice moisture to finish filling and rotting. But Ag Minister says bumper crop on the way. Wake Up!

Rained off and on since about 3:30 this morning.....some heavier showers lately. Not accumulating TOO much. Last time I checked there was a little over half an inch. We never got hit with every heavy cell that went by....thank goodness. None would have been better. On the bright side, there were no hurricane winds with it but the peas are a little lower today, some wheat isn't standing as good either(headland overlaps worst), afraid to look at the flax(somesone else's field along highway 48 is kinda a twisted mess).

Oh well.....nothing I can do about it.

Ended up with about 1.1 inches....I guess it could be alot worse.
