Weekend Precip.....

[WiltonRanch]

Folks were up to loon lake other day. Said fields water logged. Looks like they got another big dump today. Enough seeding left to go in pockets. Mostly feed but some crop too. If forecast half right we’re in for sunshine this week. Should get over some canola by weeks end I hope.

My daughter and I were in Maidstone today working on a project at the mini mall
Was ok till about 9 then rain got too much .
Real wet back towards Delmas by the looks of it
When we left at 5 we had no water in fields
Back at noon and we have water now .
Peas will be in trouble .

Actually great store 👍
Hopefully her paint project turns out later this week . Should give it a great face lift

[furrowtickler]

Hopefully those who need rain get something
Forecast changes hourly here , the only thing they can sort of forecast is wind it seems lol

Hey Wilton , next time your in Maidstone check out the mini Mall and store . My Daughter and her crew got the painting job done last night
Looks like a new building now

What's with the FÃœCKEN wind already?

Please stop.

Probably ruin our chances of getting any meaningful rain tomorrow.

Noticed this morning we are “officially” in the rain zone for tomorrows BIG event.
We were scheduled to get 2mm, now it’s up to 5.
Least they don’t say 20, then lower it to 5, it’s going in the right direction. 🤣
The dry areas are shrinking, we are soon to be the red dot on the map.

That was us the past 4 years .. got enough to get crop but it was late coming
Never did get er at all in 2001/2001
Not a good feeling

Sad thing is we have enough weeds coming to warrant spraying. No rain in 3 wks the next in crop could be glyphosate. Lentils are in the 5-6 node and an inch tall or short (which ever way you want to look at it)

Heard of heavy rain and hail south of me. Doesn’t sound good. Just got a monsoon with sideways rain for half an hour here. Hopefully tomorrow is a bit gentler.

Yes, PITA for sure
Had to respray a couple times over the past few years . Not much growing , staging ready , then 10 days later get a decent rain and then a wild flush come .
Not fun on a below average crop potential

Looks like we’re going to get it again today. This is what happens when crops look good. If they were crappy the storms would be all noise, not even rain.
