Rain Report May 13, 2017

[westernvicki]

Rained overnight, raining still, but forecast looks good, Happy Mothers Day!

Still no rain here, were supposed to get some today, not anymore. Next chance is tuesday, but that has been scaled back. Chance of frost thursday, could do damage to emerged canola. Wait and see.

Really looks wet in that picture sf3. Try having 0 acres seeded yet and now that it hasn't quit here it looks like a June start. May 21 2010 that's when it started. When is there going to be a drying cycle with normal precipitation and temps. You complain alot on here but remember you've got the best equipment, highest valued dirt, topped up bank account, 6 months vacation every year, full time reliable employees, your not still combining yet you still cry about how tough it is......remember it's only a crop! This last rain "event" and the one coming Tuesday will make for a wreck in the fall now. Don't worry sf3 you'll find a way to pull through.

Before I get lambasted for asking for a splash of rain to help seal the deal on canola germination, let me say I am grateful for the really good seeding conditions here. Seeding has been a "BREEZE"....a howling breeze......lol. that's why I need a little rain.

Much better today.

Things are good here, we're not burying seed looking for moisture. Just trying/hoping to maintain what's there.

This really isn't the case for some of you, but when I got a little whiney my Pappy used tell me, it's not so bad that it couldn't be worse....definitely the case here. Lets see what happens.

[checking]

Yeah,yeah, yeah. Let's face it. Life is a bitch, and then it rains.

Think I'll go out and mud some spuds in on Mother's day.

Similar here farmaholic, been crazy windy the last few days. Got about 10 drops this morning and now nothing meaningful in the forecast. Very dry on top here - alfalfa seeded 2 weeks ago hasn't germinated. Our subsoil moisture must be good after being pretty much full last fall then 5' of snow over winter with no frost in the ground. Guys here have been seeding flat out for 2.5 weeks so pretty lucky compared to some areas. We're going to need moisture but there is time yet.

It's seems funny that the forcast gets changed every few hours even drew Lerner is out to lunch so far this year for us in the south.

He was pretty close for NW Sask and northern Alberta

****ing wind.....WSW @ 50km/hr gusts to 68....... a buddy from south of Provost called, raining there now.

The "pressure gradient" is getting old and annoying...kinda like me.

[seldomseen]

A cold wet Mothers day for us and it has been like this all of May. Just a unrelenting NE wind that blows non stop that won't let any warm dry air come in. Good for the guys that can go and I am sure we will get a chance if the wind will ever change.
