Free topsoil come and get it!

It's 34C at lunch time, 43km/h wind and there is a field blowing away about 5 miles west of me. It's heading north and is thick for at least 4 miles and way high up into the sky. Grass is heading out, yellowing and dying off on high spots. Brutal. Just waiting for the grasshoppers to hatch, expecting the motherload of them this year.

Hutts have some sandy ridges that are cut right off here... and they really didn't do anything unusual to provoke it.

Guys that pulled the protill have been fortunate here so far. Fields have puffed terribly at times but haven't quite opened up. If we get the 50mph gusts that were forecast for here today, all bets will be off.

This wind brutal....A few drops of rain fell last night but along with it 80km wind. It definitely tried to blow on lentil stubble. Lucky it did not last long enough to sand blast off whats left of the canola.

you should post a pic , grass , since reporters don't get out much anymore . people need to see it , especially people that think a rain will help , and that it will rain just because they say it will

A picture would also be good for people like Austranada or Chuck Who would like to see us lose the use of Glyphosate so we can all do full tillage and have our soil blow away again. Not that evidence or facts have ever had any effect on them before...

This land would be seeded to either RR corn, RR beans or RR canola - maybe they needed to spray at a heavier rate to keep the soil home?

I thought 1/10 or so of rain is beneficial???
Ahhh , so when you are that dry one realizes that a 1/10 or 2 or rain is useless.. hmmm
Anyway, hopefully the dry areas everywhere get something the next few days .
It’s nit fun looking at the radar and seeing rain coming then disappearing or going completely around your area ..... it continues to do so here as well . 🌵🐫

Thought you'd be tired of trotting out that BS by now. I never claimed 1/10th broke a drought or saved a crop. What was dishonest was SF3 posting the rainfall he'd got then later deducting some amounts, however small, to make his case look sorrier. Every little bit helps and if you don't want your 10ths send them here I'll always take them.

Lol easy , I get it , just saying it’s not fun being that dry .. hopefully we get some beneficial rain ASAP .
Can’t afford to share any rain so far ..

So If it is only those crops blowing then it obviously is the RR crops that are causing the soil to blow, Has nothing to do with no till versus tillage, So we need to ban glyphosate immediately.
