Drought 2018?

[helmsdale]

Environment canada released new probable and deterministic forecasts at the beginning of this month. If it holds true, it'll do so on limited and depleted soil reserves.

If anyone puts any stock in accuweather.com my area has only two rain events forecast for the next 3 months. One mid June the other July 1st, of a 1/2" each. That doesn't bust too many bins if it holds true

And I'm no talking "Areas" either helmsdale.

On the upside perhaps your talents will be in high demand as a ghetto farming expert. "Consultancy to avoid insolvency". There's your company motto😁

no major rain forecast here for may. we are already in drought mode. weve had one of the driest Aprils on record, similar to1980 and 88, which were major drought years. bins are locked tight.

Old timer from my area told. 3 inch rain away from a drought to a flood. I personally like it on drier side. But we will need a good rain sooner than later.

Looks about perfect. Wet out there still.

Never yet have I lost a crop in May. Oh wait I have!

Just checking what the neighbour had planted, turns out to be peas. They're sitting in the dry already, didn't seed all that deep as there's lots of moisture, but the winds have taken their toll where the ground has been opened up. Showers now forecast for Mon-Tues, they'll really need it to get those peas going. If they miss it, there'll be two crops.
