I’m sorry. I cut hay Friday. It’s all my fault. First cut hay. Been brutal making hay in this garbage weather.
A bit of barley combined around here so far. Lots of peas out yet. The three fields of even canola in 5000 square miles is getting cut.
Wheat and oats need a month to mature, two weeks frost free at least. Along with lots of canola fields.
What a strange place we live, and what a way to try and make a living!

1.10 again, 6.66 since Aug 10th
Standing water in fields, now have to find, and straight cut around,,, or else.
75% of wheat, and 85% of durum still in the field, I'd say more than half of which was dead ripe or sprayed and will be severely damaged. Slow rain yesterday, soaking those heads all day and night, misty and foggy this morning. 75-80% of pulses done, what's left maybe completely gone now.
More rain forecast.

Conditions here are brutal. Waves of drizzle that radar isn't even picking up.
A true " soaker". Combined wheat until 4:30 a.m. the morning of this systems arrival....we did our part!
Swathed our canola in drizzly rain yesterday, we did our part.
Make all the plans you want but you can't plan the outcome.
Our wheat is getting washed. Canola and flax are kinda moisture proof in the swath or standing(but not moisture proof in the bin). Our yellow mustard will be rimey.
Just glad we got off what we did....pushed it. The wheat is almost dry to about 16.5.

Manitoba amazes me, "winterpeg", but sure is early and warmer than NE Sk. Know fellow by Dauphin, totally better climate. Icebox Hudson bay F*cks us up but NOT Manitoba? How is that fair?
Sammy Davis left nut.
But you shoulda seen how wet it was here in the eighties. Tons of dirt rearranged since then, and laser levelling done. When the settlers came here this was a swamp. You had to use the first naitions trails to go anywhere.

It ain’t all sunny ways! She can get damn wet and ruts from one end to the other. Just been a bit warmer on this side of the prairies for a change. Sister in Sherwood Park said it’s been an awful summer. Cold and wet. We can be like that to with a shit ton of mosquitoes. Dauphin threw the Interlake has been damn dry. Cattle guys looking for feed which isn’t normal around there. Usually their cows wear life jackets. Next year could be a whole different story.
