Rain event Big Disappointment for Some!

[SASKFARMER]

Wow, this thread sure went to hell.

I don't give a rats ass about Hector or whatever. Its 160 acres and 640 acres and one mile by a mile. THats sask.

Trudeau 1 was a dirty **** sucker but Trudeau 2 is just a Moron.

It rained a total of half an inch. I have and use F for temp.

I hate metric wrenches and curse the ****ers.

When I build a home or deck or shed its all in Ft and in.

I don't care if Canola is 450 a ton.

I just want it over $10.00 a bushel.

You guys sure give these Commie liberal bastards a lot of thought on here. You seem to forget that they only know one way and everyone must conform. Twit is no different.

The year isn't a write-off here yet, but sooner or later we will need a decent rain. Not sooner than later. .Yet.

You mean like what everyone does to every single one of Chuck's posts?

Got hammered again last night. 1/2" in 5 mins at midnight and an inch in 20 minutes this morning. 3" in last 2 days, with more coming.

The red floaty thing didn’t float.

Yes, actually.

The metric system is used by 192 countries.
Imperial officially by 3.

Don't really care how far apart the back roads are. Why are you using liters/acre to spray glyphosate, you should be using ounces? Is it that different to spray .5 liters per acre or 1.25 liters per hectare (an actual setting on the spray controller) 1 % v/v with a 10 liter jug - and then you convert to gallons or the tank to liters or everything to gallons? Schizophrenic way of doing things.

Its a lot easier to farm using the metric system, its a lot easier to do everything in the metric system. 10,000 m2 in a hectare vs a nice round number like 43,560 ft2 or 4840 yds2 in an acre.

You sell grain by the tonne, paid by the tonne, weighed by the tonne - officially. 450 liter totes. 10 liter jug. Powders are in grams.

Do you use F or C when talking temperature? It's 40 years ago now.

I use liters/acre because if I walked into a retailer and asked for enough chemical to do 64.75 hectares, I would get a blank stare for a few seconds, followed by them doing a quick search on the internet to convert acres to hectares, and then they would hopefully not do the math wrong when they convert, and then I would get my chemical.

Most chemicals are marketed in 40 acre cases, not 16.188 hectare cases. And Glyphosate sold in liters.

I am not disagreeing with you that metric is easier to understand in some cases. But when the land is split up in one system, it doesn't easily convert to the other system.

And why does it have to be all one way or the other? Use the system that makes the most sense for the application, or to the individual even. Matter of preference. Use what YOU like.

We have had an "inch and one tenth " for rain here in our neck of the woods. Things are looking really good, might even have some hay to cut!

Even the uk which has been metric longer than us still uses enough English measures. Ask a Brit how much they weigh. Quebec uses arpents to measure land in places. I like metric, it’s easy and logical, I use it plenty but I can switch between it and Imperial. I think that measures used in a certain locale is akin to dialects spoken. Who really cares. Its like the debate between fractions and decimals. Each have their place.

Sumdumguy, these scattered showers can't or won't even cross the #11 and #39 highways. Like there a fúcken wall there
