Well, we got a little bit of rain and about 6 in of wet snow so things have slowed down a lot east of Regina and beyond.
At the farm, the total precip is 2/10 for the year since April 1 and the snow is not counted. The snow should slowly soak in as the ground didn't freeze when the front came through. Today light snow again but will warm up a bit till a real cold snap end of the month.
That snap is the one to watch as if it pushes all the way to Texas watch wheat take off.
Seeding for us will be delayed now till maybe the last week of April but most likely our usual start date of May 1. Hard on wheat. peas and barley then switch the 10 of May to Canola with one drill. The second drill will finish the remaining wheat then join drill one on Canola.
The land is well let's say totally ****ing nuts in our area. We have two guys going around telling farmers here is my offer you have three days to take it or leave it. Like **** you everyone knows land prices are going up take it or leave it is a ****ing joke. Maybe most local guys selling should just phone a good neighbor and say hey shit for brains offered me so much can you match and it's yours. Whatever happened to a hometown spirit. The two guys looking never farmed in our area and one wasn't a Canadian a few years ago. It's a free world they have a right but if the guy isn't even burnt or cold in the ground maybe stay away a few more days.
Rent is now $100 south of town and north down a bit. Nothing is really happening much as most have been rented since last fall. Few guys lost when the landlord sold and didn't tell them till later.
Fun times farming where it's better to own than rent.
Equipment who has watched RB auction lately. Wow, guys are bidding really high for most stuff. Dealers have very little inventory except for some shit no one wants.
If your building have fun price will change for stuff daily. But no we have only 1.1% inflation. What the hell do they base inflation on. Gas is up by more than that and so are groceries. But maybe Kraft dinner and weiners and balonie and Bikes are still not up so that's why stats Canada is at 1.1%. It's Trudeau in charge so who knows.
On the farm the grain is almost all cleaned, Equipment is slowly getting fixed or basic maintenance before the spring run. Ground and yard are soaked so won't be much going on till next week again.
Sloughs dropped before the snow event as frost finally came out.
Snow geese arrived and so have most of the ducks. Please go further north.
Canada is having a third wave thanks to one **** up called Trudeau and team Diversity. Sorry to offend but he had one job and that was to get Canadians a vaccine. The provinces have done a great job of jabbing Canadians but it's hard to have a fast rollout when there are none. Anyone who says that Covid is a joke go see someone that has it or had it they are screwed up bad. One young guy I know caught it in Regina and so did his wife and one child, the youngest didn't. He had to go to the emergency because of breathing problems like he was drowning. Got over it but now no energy etc. He said if he would have got that in spraying season or seeding the farm would have had big issues. Get the shot, I am 11 days in, and all is good just hoping for the second before 21 days. HAHAHAH we live in Canada, not the USA so that won't happen.
It's simple to wash your hand's lots, wear a mask in a public place, don't kiss the handrails or put your fingers in your mouth and have a great day be safe. our silly season is weeks away.

Some neighbors already think I sold to the Huts cause of the cat work I got done.
