So Easter egg forecasters , what is in store for us weather wise this year??

I’m aghast at those pictures. Reminds of here 5 years ago. Never got seeding till may 25. Some of the best canola crops we had.

My drill is stuck under the snow still just like yours FJ. Couple weeks back scooped up some dirt from a shed floor and sprinkled it on the snow hoping it would attract a bit more heat from the sun. It is helping but still has a long ways to go. Don't remember such big snow banks this late into spring.

Planning too cover the drills with MUDDY water...When there is WATER near them, and a touch more than COLD WINDY +5.

Darker is massive difference. All the fields along E-W grids have lost snow on S sides. N side hardly none. It was dusty with N winds but humid/wet/snowing with S winds, all winter.

You should have tried farming in the south the last few years. Not fun. ever tried combining a 5 bpa pea crop , just for seed for next year? Durum was 10 bpa or less. that was last year for a lot of us in the SW corner of Sask.

agreed , you guys sure got hit hard .we pulled off half a crop because we had some subsoil moisture. not so this year

Farmzone has 20 degrees temps a week from now.
Big snow mostly gone but very little mud.
If it gets warm and windy it will be dusty in 2 weeks.

Is seeding underway in your area Galaxy ?

Seeding is underway in my area. I got going yesterday on my triticale , finding nice wet dirt , for how long not sure . Bigger farmers in the area are rolling now also . Finally getting some warmer temps , and I hope I'm not jinxing myself for saying that .

Branding our calves today , then that job is DONE and cows can get the hell out of here!

Would like to get peas 1/2 done before next Friday night / Saturday rain ....hopefully rain.
will get a system through after that two hot days coming up, time will tell how much. would be nice to get even 1/2 to 1 inch. then get rolling full bore after that.

Big runoff, a bit heavier flows and longer lasting than usual, started a few days ago. Seems like such a waste of water when the dugout fills in the first few hours the water runs. Usually able to start seeding a month after the creek runs. Should be sooner though with any typical temps.

And the stalled migration is in full force. Birds rushing to get to nesting grounds before the eggs all drop out in flight. Yesterday was the first day it smelled of spring. Disappearing snow cover will do that I guess.

Funny how some nicer weather can bring a guy back from the brink. Two double digit temps in a row. 10 and 12.

Spring is the best. Late, or normal, it’s the best.

Lambing was supposed to start today, but started several days ago, and is in full force. The MIRACLE that is new life, the instincts that are wired in that never fail, and the intricacies of nature, that are in my view, such obvious proof of CREATION, astound me always. It’s amazing beyond belief.

You bet Sheepwheat.

This first calver spit out a calf just now and became a momma without any instructions. He’ll be up getting his lunch before I get mine😉

You need to put some pics up. I think most of us would enjoy them. Good luck with the lambing 🍀

Amazing how well they can look after themselves given lots of room and no distractions.


Just don't drive buy with the feed truck.😯

And they wonder why a stubborn old bugger like me still keeps his 10 cows around.Many thanks to the younger neighbour who winters them for a fee. I got them home yesterday. 2 calved 8 to go. At this stage in life sort of like grandkids. Let someone else do the heavy lifting just have them around for the fun part!
