Ghetto dry....

[AC man]

This year reminds me of the drought of 1988. That year we actually seeded into more moisture than this year. Then it turned really hot and windy just like this past Thursday. The millet grew thicker than a dogs back and the only spray option was Hoe grass which was a waste of money. I don’t remember, but the first descent rain we had that year was around the third week in June. By that time the damage was done and what little crop there was,harvest began the end of July.

Did anyone else listen to the World Weather Audio forecast that was emailed out?

Does not sound too promising for moisture in the drought areas this coming week

According to original Scottish settler on this farmstead, land agent told him sloughs with no growth in middle, like one in yard, never go dry. This was in 1880s and it was dry in 1990s.

Maybe it will rain then!!
Every time he predicts something it never develops. It’s called reverse physiology.
I’m probably wrong on what I just said just trying to stay positive.

Correction, should be 1890s.

LEP, we had that one year too, worst part was when the rain came it washed those vees mostly level, covering over the canola in cotyledon and first true leaves stage. Lots of thin, blank areas as once covered they're toast.

Yup. The only time that I have reseeded canola was 2016. Dry and lumpy at seeding and then a long slow rain came and melted all the lumps. What was seeded .75 inches ended up over 2 inches deep.

We have begun rolling all of our rockier land seeded to cereals in case we have to sc**** the ground.

Someone posted an interactive website a while back in connection to a Quill Lakes discussion. It showed speeded up satellite imagery of your land over the years. Was an eye opener to me looking at my current property how the sloughs had expanded and contracted and dried up all together. We have a couple of 15-20 acre sloughs that dried up totally through the 80s by the looks of it and they are going that way again. Pelican Lake here came out of winter 18" below normal levels. It's close to 30 square kms so that's quite a drop.
