Rain

[Goodtime]

Just great....the wheels fall off starting Thursday...looks like I will have at least 2 weeks to service the dryer.

Ah the Jewish holidays like my dad would say. Rains every year.

We hit the half way mark just a couple hrs then Canola.

Goodtime; your poison will be my elixir! I'm thinking of the crop of 2018 now. 2017 is safe in the bin.

To be honest a couple of inches would be fine with the canola being so dry..just hope it quits for a couple of weeks after that.

Not much for cereals left here
Got two days left here and we will have just Soybeans and reseed canola left .... hopefully 🤞

No "filter" required then? Oh boy, now I can dig deeper holes that I can't possibly crawl out of!

6 day totals anywhere from 60 mm NOAA down to .5 mm YR.NO

Somebody's going to be wrong

Even those with considerable crop to harvest would likely appreciate rain in moderation with return to dry weather.
Snow is becoming more of a threat from now on.
Ninety per cent harvest complete on own farm, just canola left.

I just read and re-read Drew's "Special Weather Report", I hope we get nailed and that imaginary(?????????) wall around us finally dissolves that the summer weather systems would either butt up against and rain west of here, split around and mostly rain north of here, or have the rain develop east of us and continue tracking east.

Time will tell and time doesn't lie.

Advice needed....canola is dry but green count is 5 to 6 percent. ...it was shelling when swathing it....anyway will rain hurt it?


Wheat is tested 18 standing ....lots of green and puffy kernels ....will I lose a grade?

Any rain better be DARN slow, still dealing with spring/spraying RUTS cursing hard fast flooding rains! Cost us grain, potential.

Canola usually fine, it does sprout if seed is very dry when it rains and stays humid for a week. Hopefully not warm AND wet.

Wheat, combine and dry/aerate, been doing the green puffy kernels, where drowned in June, ALL HARVEST!

Bucket, green as in lime green or distinctly green? I think when they say green they mean distinctly green throughout the seed. Distinctly green would be dark green to me.

fj, I'm not against harvesting tough here.... but feel you have to at least get those puffy ones out of the head. If its dry enough to do that and you have a way of dealing with the tough grain.... go for it.
