[Old Cowzilla]

Maybe make some dust today, to big of a break and already tired of wet feet in the morning.

Enjoy it while it lasts

Need a lot more than a single day of sun to get things going here. It’s sloppy wet. Need wind. Need sun. Forecast is rough looking.

Supposed to be 28 degrees here and 30 km wind, but SE, usually not a good sign for dry weather. We will be going - Durum getting down to 15 yesterday so go time today.

[tubs]

Go time here last 3 days no rain here at all would like to get some

[Sodbuster]

Canola down to 14.0 yesterday, need some wind and heat to get going today.

[seldomseen]

Sunny and warm with a breeze here also. Hopefully the canola gets close to dry this afternoon.

Wheat was 19 yesterday, probably no go yet

A few years ago we had the same situation
Rains started , would dry up finally then rain again
Did that for nearly 3 weeks

Hurricane made landfall in New Orleans yesterday. It could mess the weather up for 2 weeks here. We’re giving er here to get in the 15 bushel wheat lol.

That is literally almost every year I have farmed for 29 years. Gets old. There is a reason John Deere used to send their prototypes out here to see how they perform in tough conditions! One year it was nice and dry conditions. I think 2003. Excellent crop, excellent quality that year.

Ha. It’s why we got into animal agriculture. The fight got too be too much. Couldn’t ever quite afford a dryer, and so in an area where almost all grain has to be dried it was tough, pun intended!

I don’t mean to complain at all. I just find it fascinating that this kind of harvest weather is an anomaly. This year in this area is probably what a great year in kindersley, swift current, even Saskatoon looks like. Until now of course.

Suns out here again this morning.
Not much cereals left in the field here but the better canola is probably a week or more away.
Some of the drought canola that has been swathed is closer.

Blew a separator drive belt. Only 4 in stock in Canada. Have one coming in via Purolator from two provinces away. Crazy.
