Rain event ..

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

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!

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.

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).

Best memory for me is cutting flaxstraw outta feeder paddles on a 750 massey with a chainsaw and sawzall and pulling straw till your fingers bled

I thought the issue was its getting late for corn but lots of time left for beans, hence a benefit to wheat but another blow to canola as acres get swapped to beans.

I have been watching a thread over on Advantage Cattle.

They are mostly cattle guys and the most opinionated ones maybe don't grow corn but it give a feel for the situation.

Used to have to baby the paddle feederhouse for the first few acres every year or take the time to polish it with sandpaper before you got going. Otherwise you were pulling it out with pliers. The beauty of leaving all your equipment outside.

Plugged the cylinder once upon a time and after getting it unplugged, started boring into a heavy swath again until it started wrapping around the table auger and started pushing it out the foot steps on the feeder... Forgot to kick the cylinder back into gear. It packed that baby like a straw bale!
