Rain event ..

I realize it wasn't a pile but it's a small sweet victory that will help ensure shallow seeded flax, canola and mustard that was possibly stranded in dry dirt gets a chance.

Caseih, Now I can start looking!

About a half inch out west of Edmonton and it was pretty general and gentle too. The grass finally has enough gas to get in gear ......... a little late but better than never. Gotta get some fence checked and a bunch more pairs vaccinated then the cows and I are both happy.



Hayfield looks promising although the Timothy has some heads showing already and it’s quite short.

Explain to my son digging gumbo out of the drill packers the difference between liquid gold and poison.

In some instances too much of a good thing is never good. Extremes are seldom useful.

No one knows gumbo like the guy who has to use a pry bar and sledge hammer to chip the packed solid -with - mud packers. That experience parallels the lasting memories of bleeding knuckles after cutting buckwheat out of combine cylinder with a saber saw during lentil combining. (One of those truly precious lasting memories).

Well, we got skunked for rain and its on to finish seeding today. Or F#$k it tomorrow as I really don't care this year. So total for the month is like Grass would say count every drop. Piss all like pissing in the wind. Oh, and do we have winds this year.

Hailed in Regina at the house. My camera at one point showed the back yard white and my sons truck had what looked like snow on the hood. Wascana creek was running. So a hard fast rain and gravel looked dry on side of the road when we got back.

Except that's always agriculture in Canada. Too much, too little, too late. Grown a crop on one or two rains past few yrs. Before that I had 30% of my land base flooded for a few yrs. This is getting ridiculous.

Certainly a land of extremes. Very grateful to get rain on Friday, then another 1/4" yesterday and spitting again this morning. It's only 4C at 9.30 though - but supposed to be 24C by Tuesday!

10 day precipitation forecast. Whens it going to be too late to put soybeans in in the midwest?

I would say if guys aren't in by first week or so in June she is a write off. They wont take the chance after that and will just get insurance.

Great ag reset. trade war combined with weather disaster.
