Curious. Does anyone have any longer term forecast, guesses out there.
Could use a little hope lol.
No sun or temps and showery called for here as far out as they go.
Everything still green.

Not that this will help ...but I thought we were living in a country of ....."sunny ways"...


Its odd but things don't warm up without the sun....been a very cool summer....unless you live in more populated areas

FFS Edmonton has a climate emergency...whatever that means...

So does all of Ag, but nobody need farmers, stores are full! World in over supply, food cheap life good for 98% of population.

Likely so they can pull more funding (taxes) for flood control/repair in the river valley.

Bias seems to be leaning towards poor-fair harvesting conditions overall for the areas that have not really got started yet

What concerns me is a hurricane is to hit Florida by labour day. Guaranteed to bring poor weather here for 2 weeks. Happens every time. When Katrina hit in 2005 we were down a couple weeks but then it did get better and we got it off but crops are further behind now than they were then.

I've got two aeration fans with names Hugo and Andrew. Also remember Romano charged me $ 2.70 tax on a 50 amp plug.

Are the tires and belts supposed to be wet while baling hay? Been like that most of the “summer” ( if you can call it that) here and no sign of it changing yet. Already at 2500 silage bales and didn’t intend on making any this year.

Put in rig mats today to get out of the field with a wagon half full since the accesses were punching out. Normally haul out with loaded trucks no problem every year but left 50 acres with standing water untouched and still sunk the baler tractor yesterday.

My wife was mentioning about possibly taking a holiday next month and normally that’s off limits but I doubt our early seeded barley will be off before October even with drying it. Forecast looks like late September already.

Summer .......... where art thou?? You forgot to come to the hills and muskeg this year.

Devils advocate ....should you have sold the cows ....taken the tax defferal....and had an easier year....

I know this is building character....but is it worth it?

The last time through BSE the government didn't support you cattle guys while the industry bent many over....
