Your Patch

Grass. One wire pinch with those pliers, is about all you get, hey? Cheap steel in that model, I found. Old red handled ones still going strong.

Maybe he was mad at it and threw it there and took a pic of it in it's final resting place. Can we all bow our heads have a moment of silence...

I’ve lost more 1/2 and 9/16 wrench’s in fields, and oh yeah ran over a pair of Sarengeti sunglasses during seeding. That would never happen to the $10 ones.

Patiently waiting for a decent drink. Have had a few 3 and 4/10th showers to keep me in the game. Haven't broke 1/2" in a single event yet. July worries me, but then in this special patch, July always worries me. Models all seem to be coalescing around nil sig mx 10-14 days out. Coming out of June on the dry side is mighty dangerous.

The shining star is the grass and hay is going to be unreal...... Grass likes damp and cool. Glad we have something to take advantage of the ☔️.

Yep, what I've been saying all along.

Yep, agreeing again - lost my red handled ones the previous day in the bush so using the backup pair. Mind you the last few red handled pairs haven't been as good as the ones they made 10 years ago - cutting edges wear off quickly on 12 gauge hi tensile.

Then you must love climate change, Extended the growing season on both ends, reduced drought severity and incidence, And moderated the high summer temperatures. And I do have the data to back that up

Yeah, it'll be contained in that fairy story you just finished writing. No predictions I've ever seen on climate change indicate reduced drought severity and incidence or moderating of high summer temperatures. Given that most on here deny climate change and insist that the climate is in fact getting colder with later springs, as evidenced by this spring on the prairies I'm sure most agerly await the publication of said fairy story.

Time for more here - the grass had a decent run there for 2 weeks but we've used up the moisture we got. Not a disaster by any means but if we don't get decent moisture in the next month our potential for production for the year is gone. Nothing of substance in the forecast.
A picture of some pasture in our area over the fence from where I was working today. Not drought, mainly poor management. Going to be a long winter for those cows.

Gee Grassy. What is your neighbor's response when you tell him he's a shitty farmer?

I bet you're popular at community gatherings.

There's times grassfarmer's comments offended me regarding some of my farming practices, a lot times he is right.

Being right isn't always popular.

Yeah, like none of you ever comment on other people's crops/mechanical prowess/timing of harvest or condition of their land?

Who said anything about predictions? The fairy story I am referring to is the quantifiable reality that western Canadians are living with and farming with everyday, called climate, and the tail is being written. By an organization called Environment Canada who have bveen recording weather data and making it available for all to analyze. Or does that action make them deniers and therefore not a reliable source?
We are far enough into the Climate Change sceanrio, to be able to start relying on real data, not projections made by models whose track record is becoming more ridiculous with every day that passes.
