After this weekends 2-4 in rain in north west Sask , a lot will be unseeded west of hiway 4 through Lloyd into Alberta to Edmonton west. It will be a lot more than 5% .

The picture thing I don't get either. I haven't been north this spring but from friends east of nipiwan it's not good.

After last years long wet harvest , some farmers are very gun shy seeding into June this year. Not saying it won't happen , it has to in some areas but .....

This could have easily been manitobas story this spring. Just dumb luck we missed the rain. helped the crop was off too i guess. hope things turn around for you guys NOW.

Thats the problem here and if you get a 2" rain here after seeding ditches are running . And its raining now and yesterday

I do get the feeling the Western Producer and other reporters are out of touch with northeastern Saskatchewan.
I suppose it is easier to keep tabs on the areas closest to their offices near cities?

It's going to happen, right up to the crop insurance deadline of June 20th. People have no choice. It's hard to see good people struggle, and take the risk while every other ag industry player sits back and takes their profit with 0 risk. Somewhere down the line the playing field has to even out but I'm not sure that it's possible.

Had to go on a parts run to Melfort and Saskatoon yesterday....there are pockets everywhere with lots to seed, the Western Producer is pretty much getting useless to even read.
