Funny Australia going Balls to Wall Canada Up just a bit.

Some guys use Clearfield types

Which canola varieties can you use your own seed ?

[SASKFARMER3]

Big wheel if you had half a f$&king brain you would realize I farm in east ne sask where the last 15 years plus have seen summer rain almost double. So yes we have adapted and changed things to combat this excess shit. Drought is not a problem here even 1961 or 80s.

I'm just saying as we have had to adapt to wet some who never have seen dry but their fathers and grandfathers have might have to adapt. The new varieties were bred in wet years and direct seeding is only as good as summer rain and snow replenish.

Water heat sunshine is needed.

Sucks telling the truth but it's a reality in western canada, wet dry wet cycles have always been happening since the first buffalo walked here!

[the big wheel]

Instead of insults tell us these plans that you do prior to seeding that accommodate both wet and dry possibilities?

What do you do that's so smart to out do nature? You sound like our dim witted crop insurance.

And I farm mostly drought. So if live to know do I maybe flip the bean seeds in one side or the other to lessen the drought. Hahahahaha

[the big wheel]

Those look like some of you're waterlogged crops. If I grew shitty crops like that I wouldn't post them. Is this before you learned how to farm too wet??

[SASKFARMER3]

Big wheel your a funny guy!

We had to do things different once the wet cycle began.


Now read that slowly so you understand.

Because if we didn't change some things we wouldn't be farming any more.

Yea we have some nice crops on well drained creek edge land. Tile is a option, ditching would be nice but don't.

Cycles is what happen the 80s were dry the 30s were dry it will happen again.

Cut a tree look at the rings and maybe you will understand dry and wet cycles.

[newguy]

so I guess your answer is you are just going through a normal weather cycle.My question is when was this Normal cycle of weather that you are getting last happened?70s 90s ??

[danny W1M]

The 1940's !!! Duh!!!

Check the records !

[newguy]

The 1940's !!! Duh!!!

Check the records !

so the lakes up there were that full in the 40s.?

[the big wheel]

Just like the rain or the drought records are coming back again. Everyone threw out the players now it's cool again.

Sask please tell us these big secrets of how you approach seeding different. Ow than before. Hahaha

You say one day it's dry. Extra day it's wet next week it's dry. Next it's hail. It's all correct but you re implying the rest of us are stupid we don't know how to seed for wet?

And just for the record what are you predicting wet or bone dry? Because either can happen in a short time period.
Dry farming is way worse. Because I ve seen your wet pictures and one day you tell us it's all over throw in the towel and the next day your counting down the days left until done. I m done but lots of guys aren't. You do them a huge disservice by being a big cry baby over nothing than making it out like it's all great you survived such an ordeal.
Try losing like the one other poster said
ZERO as in NOTHING for 3 or 4 years then maybe tell me your wet strategy.

[the big wheel]

Ah farming we re all getting screwed can't make a living at his garbage politicians are crooks. It's all Ndp fault I love the new taxes they are great we're getting screwed. How about a Wednesday mai tai on Tuesday have to cut back holidays from 100 days to 95. It's getting tough out there.
But Brad will save us. I love it
Picked up 3290 acres today. They are in the wet area so what's he secret?

[SASKFARMER3]

Big wheel you sure it's not flat tire. Or are you grass2.1

[samhill]

Well, all I'm gonna say is that on top of minimum till and no black dirt, the central plains now pour about a gazillion gallons of water into the air when its hot, and what goes up comes down, and usually where its a little cooler.
