Friday Crop Report on a Thursday.

[beaverdam]

Ya,,, this year's spring melt is more of a Rancher's melt, than a Farmer's melt. Meaning it was slow to start, but then mostly melted quick, putting water in dugouts and potholes, unlike last year where the melt soaked into the cultivated farmland suppling reserve for the crop. Will be looking for rain now for sure.

Waiting for highs above two. Waiting to see a bare patch at the north end of the home quarter which peeks out first. Four foot unused gates barely visible, four foot fence is hit and miss visible.

With the forecast though, it’s going to take a while. So odd that in a province without much for physical features, things can be so different within a couple hours drive…

Great looking 7, it diff steer or clutches? Keep a eye on final drive oil, they like to leak into the transmission.

last of the 7 H series so yea has that.

New undercarriage from pads to rollers to rail.

Motor 500 hrs uses no oil so far.

New rad at the same time and water pump.

I was happy with what I see so far.

thanks for the heads up.

further south of Regina the less snow. Moosejaw river looks up but Wascana creek really isn't going yet. The melt is slower and it did rain a bit today!

The backroads still well plugged ..


This is actually a grid they tried to keep open till about 3 weeks ago then gave up

A few bare spots showing up and just off grid roads but with cool temps again till next week it will be a while yet here . Far less 5-6 miles south and still full snow 15-20 miles north ..

I wish our speed limit was 80mph.

I have a rule of thumb for travel if the speed is 50 I go 60 if it’s 70 I go 80 and 80 I travel 90 never get stopped. Go over and watch they pick you out fast

My neighbor and then landlord thought you will never get stopped if you leave the bar before 8 pm, but then he hit a train and drug him a mile. Good thing his Ford fell off close to home and he didn't have far to crawl home.

So in Ukraine, they are predicting they will seed 17 mil acres and not the usual 37 mil that's a bit of a drop and i really don't think 17 will be achievable. Would you go seed if you knew the russians crossed your fields (landmines)

Wild snowstorm last night brought another couple inches. Now there is no forecast high above zero until next Friday. A bunch of snow in early week.

And then measly plus twos, threes and fours, up to April 8. Even for here that is deplorable.

Hell you would launch yourself into space on our roads.
