Rain Survey.....

[grefer]

We have had more moisture out of a heavy dew. Crops around here are green but not growing much above ground. Putting roots down and preparing to hunker down. Could pay dividends later if we ever do get some rain.

See Sk Crop Report for today, we win, Ponass Lake RM has had the most rainfall since snow!

1.7 inches Richardson Kronau and north to Davin a few small puddles but way better than dry. 1.9 inches Indian Head area. So very needed, but regret that some others still waiting. Big Zee, I feel your frustration but this week is not done and there is moisture around to spawn showers. Just one good shot and the crops will show their gratitude. Good luck all Agrivillers.

I think Meadow Lake and St Wahlbug are Down to Lloyd is by far the wettest in the province now . Some farms at 150 mm plus

Anywhere from 1.6" to a localized 5" here. 100 miles SE Edmonton.

Last Friday's 3" downpour and the other shots we've had on top of saturated ground has been interesting. Not to mention hail too. Can't get cows into bush pastures as roads are washed out. I'd bet were over 150mm. It's never wet like this here usually the other way. I'm not bitching cause dry is worse for me.

This morning it rained for half an hour. Not hard. A couple of hours later, it poured. For less than ten minutes. After lunch, it spit. And then rained a good steady rain for 15 minutes. A typical day near Kenosee Lake.

The gardens are spongey. Like walking on a sponge mat you use for scrubbing a floor on your knees. The fields are spongey, too. I walked in one with runner boots. Not muddy. Just spongey. And biking across sainfoin fields, ....the water sprays up, but the ground is spongey.

Quite the year. Pars.
