The "D" word...

[Sheepwheat]

Wetter here than it was last fall. Dugouts and sloughs higher than last fall. More rain last night. Rain the night before.

On one hand, thankful. On the other hand, I want to get my crop combined.

It is because Trudeau is wearing dry socks!

He should speak moistly maybe it would help

And 14 day trend BELOW NORMAL temps, maybe stay cold AND dry?

Fake news....lets fund PPE for farmers...that will help.

BTOs will use the latest funding from government to build or buy trailers for their TFW to live in....

More government policy to promote the larger farmer....FFS i cant buy N95 masks that I like to use for getting in a grain bin....the good kind with the breather in the front...sent my wife everywhere in the city the other day...she brings home a shitty fitting respirator...

I believe the D word appropriate for here would be Desirable, or Decent.
After raining every day all spring and much of the summer. Since late July we have only had about 3 inches of rain total. And it has taken this long to finally get back to somewhat normal. Dugouts still very full, water table still very high, standing water has mostly gone away. Low spots that were saturated for 2+ months after seeding, are growing now, in October.
Only area I have seen that suffered from lack of water is where gravel is too close to the surface. Had massive potential, but when the combines went over those spots, the yield monitor dropped by 50 to 100 bushels vs. the deeper soil areas. Crop looks the same from the combine, so heads just didn't fill without moisture.
Always better to go into spring dry than wet around here.
Fall of 2016 saw standing water everywhere, making spring of 2017 a nightmare. That didn't dry up until late July inspite of almost no rain.

Yeah radar is utterly stupid. Looks like it could be a fair bit. Be nice if it didn’t matter, but this is getting old. Is your dryer bored these days?

Fwiw, and idk shit. Look at futures chart. Beans and wheat are both breaking out. There's something big brewing imo. You can do a lot if stuff right now but forward pricing next year's crop is not the thing to do. Again. Imo. We can't assume average bushels next year and the market is telling us the same.
