      I hate to say this but right now we are sitting about perfect. Got everything seeded and got over 3” in 4 days. We seeded into dust but seed in moist enough soil. Depends which direction you go but some just hanging on with pissy showers while others had 7” and washouts. If hoar frosts and fog is any indication July is gonna be a witch for haying but good for canola. Got the last of the cows onto native pasture today. Kept them off long as possible in case it turns dry again. Wanted to give it best chance to be resilient and last longer. Hope guys in dry areas would get a good dump before it’s too bloody late.

            Missing most of that rain last week is really starting to show in this area depending on land type




            Canola about to fill in the 15 in spacing , but struggling the past few days turning blue in afternoons
            Starting to bolt is not a good thing if we don’t get rain asap . Many areas far worse I know but we are on thin ice here now so to speak



            Will take the same picture this afternoon, won’t be so pretty green .

              Forecast says in 3 days your area should get a soaking. Hope they are right.

                Weed control has been good so far and crops advancing decent. Will absolutely need rain next Tuesday/ Wednesday. Hopefully we actually get something meaningful or it won’t be pretty after that in this small pocket
                How do you like that pull type sprayer?
                With the cost of self propelled sprayers pull type is a good option again if the tank and boom width is large enough.

                      1900 imp , 100 ft , 345 ac a fill with round up at 5.5
                      160 ac per fill at 12 gal with liberty

                      But need auto boom with that one though

                      Paid $24,000 for it

                      It really helps out the SP , it’s got 3400 hrs now , and in no way for us here is it justified to even go to a good low hour used one for $600,000. Those numbers just don’t work for us
                      Had the ole 9270 with 12,000 hrs just in yard anyway this time of year
                      Can’t even get extra tires for a new one for $24,000 nowadays

                        Hard to tell , the insanely expensive new radar system environment Canada has just happens to go down anytime a tinny shower pops up
