    When it is dry , the soil almost becomes like a repellant, water beads until the soil it moist to absorb it.

    Take a perfectly dry sponge and put a garden hose to it. Wait until its damp and do the same thing.

    Same thing will happen with soil.

    Big rains mean nothing if they can't soak in.

    Checking after some rains here it is very dry 3 inches down. The wind and heat today will dry the top out again.

      Dried up enough to go out on the bike and look in a few fields. Stood on a hill and snapped a pic. Canola on one side wheat on the other.
      Everybody knows Rain makes grain!

        On the same trip went to check a canola field and thought I better try and drain some water.

          For many, their crops have not looked this good… for years!

          Dark blue here = = no crop this year.

                looks nice seldom , especially with the water you had to deal with this spring !
                glad it spared you a wee bit on the last deluge !

                    Sitting at 2 inches this week and that is the biggest rainfall in over 2 years here. Spent most of the last four days with cows in the mud and it was sure nice compared to choking on dust like the last year and a half. The grass grew like crazy although it’s heading out now.


                    All you guys posting pictures of pretty square flat fields now know where the hills ended up out west😉

                    Semen tested the bulls Monday and I think most of them passed based on the vets first look at the slides. I know they don’t enjoy it but that’s the price of admission for them to spend the summer with the girls and grass.

                    Ran away for a day to Jasper and Miette hot springs. It was raining and as kids we’d always go last minute as a stress break. Very enjoyable in the rain knowing the grass is growing probably enough to get us to August now.

                    The frozen raspberry yogurt from the restaurant next door is fantastic too. Missed going there for two years while it was closed.

                    Went to visit a close friend tonight who got kicked in the head by a yearling the other day. Got stitches from her lip to below her chin and a concussion. She remembers walking into the crowding pen and dragging herself out afterwards but not how it happened. Be careful everyone since those crazy critters are out there and always scheming on how to get ya.

                    Now to get on with spraying in between the wind and sprinkles. Definitely not complaining about the moisture here though…….🍀
