Heavy rains

[blueversi]

Another 1.8" out of an hour T storm yesterday....flatter yet now PLUS MUD!

Not fun. I hate mud. Storms bypassed us yesterday thankfully. Long way to go yet though.

On the plus side we will know if the germination is good right in the field in about 10 days

.75 rain this morning and still coming. Soybeans look like a great crop.

Is that magnitude of recovery common for soybeans?

Every year we see pictures of soybeans early in the season from somewhere in the world looking awful. Then at the end of the season, the disaster is inevitably averted.

There seems to be a lot of truth to the wisdom that soybeans are made in August ( or the equivalent in the southern hemisphere or double crop).

I only wish the crops we grow could make a recovery like that after being drowned out.

We have had a lot of rain early and beans took it the best. Rains in July and August are the most beneficial since beans are not deep rooted.

Same here around supper time.

40mm to 100mm that I know of.

Never heard of hail near here but this is considered a low chance area.


Inconvenient for sure.

There was quite a lightning/ thunder display last night. The system seemed to head north of Regina and off toward Manitoba. There was a 1/2 inch at Neudorf, I am told but 2/10 just east of Regina.

[sumdumguy]

Yes, now it starts, full moon in August, gotta go now whenever you can. We got over am inch last night.

[fjlip]

Another 2/10" at 2 am, rolling thunder, pouring rain. Ugly radar, hopefully no damage like Wadena Sunday night, hurricane wind killed huge trees.

[sumdumguy]

Today a system got rolling west of Regina and headed north east.

[furrowtickler]

Nasty rains and hail in area

[fjlip]

Sounds like crazy storms last night! We got zero rain. Where were they?

This weather reminds me of the eighties. Hit and miss rain. Wild storms but not a lot of moisture. Erratic yields, high interest and being piss broke. Funny how what goes around comes around. Sucks ass
