Or am I the only one ?

I remember 64.

[SASKFARMER]

To young for 64 but remember 1979 2002 and 2004.

[Old Cowzilla]

Was that the year my flax froze in mid August?

We were putting up new bins we didnt need those where our ( buckwheat ) years ouch !

[Sodbuster]

Don’t remember what my crop did in 79, but did get married that year.

68 in this area, REAL early spring, no snow by March, picking rocks in late March. The fall/harvest went till November, endless rain in September October. All feed. Canola was rare.

What I remember of the summer of 1979 doesn't include the condition or the outcome of the crops.

That's the trouble with you Sask. farm boys while growing up, you were to focused on the condition of the crops and farm animals, especially sheep.

Actually for us older the Summer of 69....

[Sheepwheat]

I was barely born. All I know is that year my dad bought a lot of new and newer machinery and half ton etc. Couldn’t have been too bad. He was hardly a big spender.

[fjlip]

I heard no cwb quota and poor cwb prices in 68 had to store the wheat until 1974 when it hit 4 or 5 $ a bushel !

A lot of education over the years !

4 bu/acre Wheat quota at $0.60/bu....dad and Grandpa traded many Bu for machinery and repairs, even a Behlen shed!

The vast majority of snowflakes these days would not last a week doing what we all do day in and day out . All on a hope a prayer 🙏
