Rain?

[Sheepwheat]

I hate rain and it makes me miserable and for 90% of my farming career it has been a pain in the butt!

The 10% of my farming when I wanted rain I can hardly remember.

I hear you. Except ten per cent looking and hoping for rain seems awful high to me... 😝

You guys have no idea how painful it is to watch those big black clouds coast around us and head north, knowing you don’t want them anyway, but we sure do most years.

Same here. I wish you would keep the stuff already.

Just as painful when dry as a bone and watching rains hit 2 miles on either side and 60% of your dirt don’t get a drop at critical times ... it’s all relative

Knocking on the door now, a front popped up from Watrous NE to edge of radar. Between us. Been HOT and HUMID all day. Oh boy not that long at Wadena, trucker was back in an hour.

Lots on radar east of Farma and SF3, get any of it guys?

Fj, we've been lucky lately and the Sahara Slum of the Ghetto went through a bit if a transformation to the Sub-tropical Slum of the Ghetto,

At the yard,

May 8, 1.5 tenths(Hot dry winds robbed it quickly!)
May 17, 1.1 tenths(too dry previously to make a difference)
May 24, 9.0 tenths
May 26, 3.3 tenths
Last night and today, 3.8 tenths
Now we are moist enough that a tenth would make a difference again..."for now"......

This can turn around to too dry again pretty fast but I am enjoying what we got. The potholes we seeded have water in some of the ones that were borderline dry enough to seed, I will gladly sacrifice the effort of seeding them for the rain we got.


...always a wordy response, lol.

Take care everyone. Be and work safe.

Watching it rain 5 miles east and we’re still seeding only one rig as second was rained out down to a section left by tonight

Good for you we are very close about 1.6" so far! Enjoy. Big black cloud colorful on radar dissipated right over us, just a few drops, so that is how it goes away. Still RAIN Friday, wait for it....

But the other 2/3 still in need .
Got a light shower again is all .
