Friday Crop Report on a Thursday Week 9

[helmsdale]

Taught the wife how to roll... Now I get to teach her how to drive the drill. Wish me Luck!

50+% done, need to make time... sprayed far enough ahead for a couple days seeding, but it looks like hurricane strength is showing up here tomorrow.

Some people think if your marriage can survive laundy day, or loading the dishwasher, you're golden... Try a 4x6ft box at 5mph!

[furrowtickler]

Best of luck Helmsdale
great to see you working together

When we first got married my wife did a lot of the seeding as I worked in nh3 delivery and left early and came home late.

That was before cell phones.

Some of the older neighbors used to come over to see if she needed help.

She may have been a better operater than me but never liked the stress.

Got the 2400 gal 132 ft ready for liberty and 12.5 gal water

To be honest, the wife and I work good together. It's the boys in 5-10 years that I'm worried about.

Gonna be a lot of "teachable" moments there... just depends on whether I'm a decent teacher, and perhaps, moreso whether they have a desire to learn or not.

[Taiga]

12mm rain total in the last 3.5 months here, fields are thinning out fast.

Yikes!

Im seeing long term seasonal forecasts that don't look particularly favorable... We have a decent start here, although it's going to be late, but it looks like from here on in is likely to be drier and warmer biased till fall.

What part of the world are you in?

[Taiga]

Peace region, driest part of the Canadian prairies this year.
