    Pretty heavy hail west and north of regina

    Dang crappy way to close up august
    Long swath of big hail all the way from south of moose jaw to near Melville. Not good when prices are high

    If there are million dollar rains this is the exact opposite

    It’s funny how politicians and the media totally exaggerated the first billion dollar rain but absolutely nothing has been said about the billion dollars that has been lost to storms this past 2 weeks ..
    Maybe now that Regina and home of crop insurance in Melville been hit again the Producer might carry a story on the massive amount of crop wiped out and the billion dollar loss over this past while .

        Work hard and try to do everything right, and Mother Nature takes it away.

        Sad to see Newguy.

          And right now the ag industry demanding we pay for fertilizer ASAP before the next price run up LOL
          Meanwhile a lot of farms are losing money nearly daily .

          Fertilizer Input dealers have no shame at all anymore ????

            And crop insurance prices are nearly half
            The market. Something has to change and should
            From the party that has farmers backs and
            Our free vote. We re so dumb it’s not laughable.

              Count your blessings, would be nice to see SK party implement this change but not holding my breath. In some ways it would be nice if all these programs were under the feds instead of each province rolling out their version of ag programs, some richer, some poor.

                Thousands of acres of Canola, Durum and Peas pummelled into the mud east of #35 Highway. This is hearsay but on crop inspection about 3 weeks ago, some of the nicest crops anywhere were in that area.

                    I heard Indian Head north to and past Balcarres. I will hear more later today. Near Yorkton reported golf-ball size hail even this morning. Hail isn’t usually that wide-spread. You would think Agri-Ville would have some ‘reporters’ in that area. Maybe the site would consider some roving reporting?

                      Cant wait until SFs Thursday report. That should give some details.

                        Regina Block kicked in and pushed it north. That could have been really bad but a lot of crop is off in this area. Big But - a lot of valuable crop still needs to get picked up. It might not be the biggest crop ever but it sure precious.

                          Looks like the 70 km from Olds to Trochu is gone. Haven’t seen anything that looks much less than 100%. At Trochu it’s looking at least 10 km wide, north to south. Don’t know if it stayed similar the entire length.

                          Cereals were maybe 50% done here. Canola barely started. One of the better looking areas around and now it’s gone.

                            I farm between Churchbridge and Melville and I think missed most of the hail. There was a little bit last night south of Churchbridge and and a little this morning around 11 north of Grayson. But the rain, it rained. I was thinking we would maybe combine about 7-8 miles east of Melville this morning and east of hwy 9 there was no rain last night or this morning. Then around 11 the heavens opened and we got probably an inch in maybe 20 minutes. I have seems lots of pictures of large hail in yorkton this morning but looks like the system was just west of melville and moved along highway 10 until Yorkton.

                              Came as far North as Elnora, heard reports of canola hailed out 100% in the swath just a few miles east of there. We actually had just a sprinkle here.
