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.

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.

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.
