    I have noticed on radar too how the rain seems to follow the water channels. Glad some one else noticed that too. The area around Weyburn and south used to be so dry back when. Hence, ranching was the only option south and west to the border for years. Then Grant Devine’s Rafferty-Alameda went in and we thought, “Good Grief, that thing is going to sit empty.” Not so and the rains seem to get drawn up to the dam from US. Now all those hills south of us are seeded to cereals and even lentils. So, it begs the question, does water draw water?
    Absolutely it does
    Tobin lake , Codette lake proved that around here over and over
    Was a detriment in the wet years tho

      Nothing that bad, or nothing that good?

        Nothing even close to that bad. Pretty darn solid crop in my small region. Will be guys making a pile of cash this year. I shouldn’t have been a shepherd!

          Sounds like your area is the anomaly sheep. This thing is widespread now.

          That heat dome is expanding into the US midwest corn and soy acres now.

            Oh it’s totally an anomoly. Just like every year pretty much. And it’s small. Very small. As I said in my tale of two barleys thread.

                  Not just a few isolated pockets ...

                  Obviously not hard to see that is closer to zero than even 20 bpa
                  West of Edam over to paradise hill has some awful spots especially on light land. Heavy land is faring better. South of the river east of Lloyd crops okay but we had more rain and heavy land. Sandy pockets and solonetzic knolls not as good.
