Wx / Drought

By choice I would buy feed on analysis (done at my expense) and at least a representative sample weighed but when feed gets short some guys go crazy and others get greedy. I've sent samples away in the past only to discover later the seller sold the bales to someone who drove into his yard an hour after I left. Thankfully there are still many decent people to do business with though and my bad experiences have only been a small percentage.

Mild improvement in a few areas... Wx models all over the map. the 00z had us down for next to nothing in the 10 day, the 06z had us down for 1.25", 12z has us down for zip again. For my own sanity i need to quit looking. Google chrome on my phone says my most visited sites are:
1)pivotal weather
2)environment canada schuler radar
3)agriville
4)yr.no
5)meteologix.com
6)daily weather discussion @ kamala.cod.edu
7)firesmoke.ca
8)wxmaps.org

Oh, how I wish we were a Furrow today. We had a wonderful shower in Regina yesterday but wet only a few inches down. Apples are blooming and Bumbles are bumbling. 🌈There will be more, don’t worry - bee happy🐝

Most recent forecast has us starting down 5 out of the next 7 days at 80°f+. Might be a good time to vacate to the lake. Lord help us if the wind blows at the same time.

Well the summer forecast is out for what its worth;


SASKATCHEWAN AND MANITOBA
A changeable summer is expected across the region with back and forth swings in temperature that will likely tip to the cool side of normal across eastern Saskatchewan and Manitoba. Most of the region has started the growing season with drier than normal conditions. However, near-normal rainfall is expected for the summer across a large part of the region which will reduce the threat for widespread and prolonged drought conditions, especially across the south.
However, parts of the central and northern Saskatchewan and Manitoba are at risk for drier than normal conditions. Smoke from wildfires to the west and northwest will likely become an issue during the summer.

The smoke will save our crops....as a matter of fact I am not sure why we are not starting fires now.....lmao

First come, first serve, bring cash. If your spending time and money on feed analysis, your not actually short of feed. Cattle guys here were fighting over 10 year old hay this past spring, stored outside in triangle stacks uncovered. Probably spent 30-40 cents a pound for all the feed value that was left in them. But it was either that or a lot of cows were getting their throats slit. I am amazed hay wasn't being stolen in the area, people were that short and desperate. I was counting some of my remote (but easily accessible) stacks often to make sure my godly Mennonite neighbors weren't helping themselves which they have been known to do - because after all, is it really a sin to steal from a heathen?
