That is some WET snow!!

I looked at the satellite this morning and couldn't believe how all of Canada, that's right -all is covered in cloud.

I turned on you when you asked "are you getting worried?" It definatly sounded sarcastic when you followed it up with your last statments..... who the F@&$ wouldn't be worried? If you have and skin in this game you are worried because that could be it for the year. Bang your done no warnings no second chances, thats it your finished till spring. I guess we live too far north to ever get done too many times in Sept unless we have a drought. We are not big operators and either are our neighbours and none of us are done. Im sure glad your done if you were wondering.

It has been between plus 1 and minus 4 here for a week now with rain or snow almost every day. The "current" forecast shows much the same for at least 7 days.
Might see the sun partly on Wednesday and Thursday then back to solid cloud and rain/snow for several days.
I think we will use the partly sunny days to put everything away . I think even fall work is done , let alone combining .
Got about 1/2 the spraying and fall work done in between harvest delays .
As far as harvest goes , right locally most is done , but go 10 miles in any direction and there is a fair amount left out.
There are big farms done , small farms not done , the opposite, and everything in between.

Yea it hit us this time but still not the major that was further north. I need 8 days and thats it. Dryer is ready propane filled. Combines full of fuel and ready work force still not going to phoenix but nov 3 they are. Custom work will have lots if we get done.

Thousands of acres out in our area.

9 days harvest sept between rain storms didn't help. If would of went all night last Saturday would of had one more off before the rain.

I'm sure, before not too much longer, some global warming zealot will be on here, telling you all, that your a bunch of liars, that this has been the hottest summer on record, the prairies are drying up and you won't be able to grow crops in the future because it'll be SOOOO hot and dry. That you should likely have your auction sale now, before all the others decide to sell at the same time. Buy some land in the NWT, so you can start farming up there when everywhere else on earth is burning up.

Truth is we had normal temps this season for about 7-10 days near the end of Apr and then again at the start of Aug, ALL THE OTHER WEEKS WERE BELOW NORMAL TEMPERTURE, and Moisture till hell won't have it.

2011, can I see you coming again???

[furrowtickler]

Well if you were lucky , like my small area and did not get that, you may have a chance.
But again all forecasts are not pointing to any Indian Summer at all, so far.

[boarderbloke]

We're on our third, 9 day stretch without moving a wheel. We started first week of Aug, but losing nearly a month due to rain delays has caused a lot of crop(for our area) to still be out. Now the days are much shorter, 1 in Aug are worth 2 in Oct.

it looked good from the road lol

West of Edmonton we never got a weather break all summer. After the third week of May it rained every three days or less. We cut 200 acres of hay the first week of July because the forecast looked good. After eight inches of rain we chopped it and blew it back on the field since it was rotting in the swath. We chopped everything else for silage and between breakdowns and rain delays we never finished first cut till September. This put us behind on combining but the wheat was still 15% since it was completely flat and required one way swathing on a bunch of it. Still have 500 acres of wheat to thresh and 1200 acres of alfalfa to cut and bale. Misery loves company since I don't know of anyone that's finished here. Not holding my breath on getting it any time soon. At least the kids are enjoying it.

Have never had a harvest to do in the spring. Suspect it won't happen this fall either. Was combining soy on Monday. Suspect it will go this afternoon. If not, then to-morrow.

We've never had crop out over winter either but they're calling for more snow and rain to start tomorrow and carry on through the rest of the weekend. It's so muddy on the back roads and water running in the fields it feels like April here. I've accepted that nothing is happening this fall, but if it does I'll be pleasantly surprised. Just have to tighten the belt another notch...
