Friday Crop Report on a Thursday!

Well if this is picking up speed and strength could get interesting this after noon

Palliser said semi arid plain, not arable, sure proved him wrong. Perhaps we have been in a WET cycle for 50 years?

More than 50 years - the 20th century was the wettest ever on the prairies according to data they pulled from the Red Deer River at Drumheller.

More than 50 years - the 20th century was the wettest ever on the prairies according to data they pulled from the Red Deer River at Drumheller.

I keep trying to point that out, but most of us don't want to accept that recent wet years are the anomaly.

We finally caught at least a measurable bit of the wet stuff. Came in a flash but left 1/2” or so. Considering we have not had barely a drop since spring..‘this was welcome and with the hot forecast next week...if we missed this it would of made bad turn to ugly.

Little bit of relief anyway, maybe some of the canola will pop out now

Finished up today then got the custom seeding done tonight.
Got a splash of rain but that’s it.
Corn planters about 1/2 done.
Overall still very dry NE of the Battlefords

Well, the big storm was fun to watch last night on Radar. It looked awesome slowly moving NE at a projection that would hit the farm full centre. Were on the last 25% of the crop to get seeded and with some going to a Grad this weekend it would have worked out great to have a little break. Well, it crossed the valley and made a Bee Line East and followed the highway to Melville. Who was the Rain Capital of Sask up till the Melfort/Humboldt downpour last night.

Then it kind of split piss all went NE but funny thing it picked up again to the NE of us as the two joined again later, Then it ended just as fast.

Ah, radar and funny storm cells.

Same here, half the farm has not rain since last fall.

Very spotty showers around here, nothing to an inch. Brother lost his water pump to the dug out that was 1/3 full before the “rain.” Gotta love the show, wouldn’t miss it! Lofty mushrooms, I call them.
