This is getting to be my favorite saying; "wouldn't it be nice if it didn't matter! "...I'm not saying weather doesn't affect everyone but farmers have to be very close to the front of the line, if not first, affected most.

I was thinking you meant, IF one was NOT a farmer all this would not matter...especially weather/markets

[farmaholic]

Yup fj...pretty much exactly what I meant.

Got to 75% done tonight. Half section of flax, a heavy quarter of canola and a quarter of "I never should have seeded" durum....along with the other 270 acres of "I never should have seeded" durum thats already done. I think durum is a lost cause here. It will have to be grown in the typically drier areas.

Bucket...whats 60 times $.66...... oh ya, non-"prophetible" and non-profitable. I wish I could see the future....prophets were always right, right? Profits are also right but can be fleeting.

Marchwell durum absolutely pasted to the ground. March Well Reaally?

As farmers we are used to just taking what we get. I remember many horrible harvests, pulling grain dryers home from Winnipeg and Paradise Hill to pick up swaths that were moldy black and pounded into the gumbo by hail and then almost a decade where it was so dry we wished we could triple-swath so we could find the droughted skimpy wisp of a swath. It looks like we are going to get three more good days of nice dry weather, just what the Dr. ordered. With the massive lodged straw this year, we have been super lucky to get good weather to put her away DRY. And thank you Mac Don for great cutting technology, gotta say these swathers and straight cut headers are pretty good compared to open-cab versatiles of yesteryear. No complaints from the peanut gallery here. Keep Safe - seatbelts on, drive carefully! As SF3 says.....

Freewheat, sorry about the rain. Here, when digging potatoes and carrots all dirt falls off. It is surprisingly dry.
