Rain Report May 13, 2017

[Stampsguy]

Actually have had quite a few calm days which is quite rare for southern Alberta. Seeding is going well and some guys are wrapping up. I really feel sorry for those who can't get going.

Our governments need to step up to the plate and help you fellows out but I guess you have to wait because bombardier, the African nations (farmers), senators, PM vacations, etc. etc. are more important.

1/2" last night. Seeding on my lightest land so was going by mid afternoon. Im currently trying to get back to the other end of the field with the wipers on...

just returned from our oldest grandson's grad @ Dinsmore and it rained all the way home. 7/10s in our rain gauge and it is still coming down.

Sunk the Drill, just as it started to rain. Said F it and I will pull it out when I can get some help on Monday. Was a cold miserable wet walk 1 1/2 miles back to the yard. Seeding at night is damn near impossible with all the wet spots.

Sank the harrows trying to pull onto the road. Literally stuck 5 feet from the grid road... But only had to walk half a mile.


Driest field we have and it's still wet.

We got a 1/4 inch at the yard late last night as storm from ND headed strait north. More later today could be on their way. Tues and Wed is what scares me. Also the line from Swift to Battleford hopefully doesn't move back over our area. Flip is correct 6 inches in october and the big snow storm two weeks ago really screwed our area. Frost is really coming out of the ground yesterday. Flat slope to valley and boom down you go. Easy pull its still frozen a foot or two down.

As wet as you've been the past many , many , many years S/f , why would you still have bicycle tires on that anhydrous tank ??

[SASKFARMER3]

Yea i guess I'm tight with tank number two tank one is set up different. But frost is frost. No fun.

[farmaholic]

I wish I was joking..... 0.01 of an inch from last nights "event". My goodness!

[SASKFARMER3]

You want our 1/4 inch lll gladly trade you.

[farmaholic]

I'm going seeding.... Our next hope is for Tuesday. A couple of marathon sessions and we might get done before then.

Don't be mad at me for wanting/needing a bit of rain..... we're all in a little different situation.

Take care and work safe.... when you can.

Fukin weather I sure feel for you guys I've been there too. Not too bad this year only stuck a couple times but have a couple quarters I may not be able to seed. Best of luck seeding.
