12.8 mm in the Biggar/ Wilkie area yesterday and last night. Not sure it will help much, but nice to see it rain.

It has been our experience that RAIN BEGETS RAIN.

Good to hear tbe canola is doing good. We noticed that the fields seeded thinner are way better here as well. The thicker fields are ripening quicker and have way smaller pods. Overall still good crop but could have been better(I think) if was seeded at 3 lbs instead of 4.5. Pretty hard to out guess mother nature.

Ya it's near impossible to out guess Mother Nature. The best a guy can do is try to identify patterns over a long time .
Long range forecast models , even sort term ones are almost useless as well when it comes to micro climate phenomenon like that .

Side note - we did get a freak cloud burst on a few 1/4's that dropped 1/2 plus hail two days ago . I call it a freak one because it came from the SE out of no where and was gone in a few miles .
Seems to be the case in years like this
