Wx / Drought

Yeah, but what do they use for local weather measuring sites Horse? Seem to recall that program was very unpopular when it was first introduced because it often didn't reflect the moisture that fell on your land.

Its got a lot better with many weather sites to pick from now,you can find one close to your farm. They used to put them along the rivers and on prevaling wind routes on the end of lakes but now better.
The way things are looking it seems like a good bet this yr,but a good storm and you get nada,better gamble than putting in crop.

The weather aspect of it is probably as good as they can easily do it. The issue I have is when a payout is triggered from drought it isn’t near enough to offset the loss of feed since the value of that missing feed is higher than you’re covered for. As long you don’t really rely on it then it’s great. I consider it my gambling money without going to a casino (only been there once anyway)

Greenfeed would be a lot easier on the combine....

Cowboys will be licking their lips at a sub 30 bpa crop when the grain guys realize they are not making money after they look at their input bill....

I will burn the bitch before I try dealing with a rancher again.

Don’t paint us all with the same brush.

Must’ve really had a bad experience to switch over to protein isolate, soy, sodium laced “discs” instead of natural protein.

To each his own.... Bon appetite

Take shares on bales and count after baling....make them haul to your yard as part of the deal....then list on kijiji or sell to a rancher that is reputable...there are lots that don't own a baler and buy feed at the right price...

I have a simple solution to this get the liberals greens and ndp to bring in a rain tax. We pay a rain tax and it will rain simple and it should work. Liberals claim they can alter the environment with a carbon tax why not a rain tax.

What a fantastic idea jimmy !
Carbon tax cooled the environment in one month , right chuckles?

[farmaholic]

Gotta wonder when the senior climatologists get back from the long weekend off and give the junior climatolgists a break from their crayons and coloring books if the rain for Wednesday here will evaporate from the forecast?

I refuse to set myself up for disappointment anymore...one day at a time.

The only tax we need is some kind of tax to get rid of politicians that want to tax us for stupid reasons.

Drought will make spring thrash canola in this area worth something so that is good. I have some in the bin. Saw a guy combining this afternoon and saw some standing canola still in field yesterday. Go drought.
