-1 for Eastern Sask for Tonight!

[SASKFARMER3]

Their calling for -1 temps for eastern Sask tonight. Drought in East Alberta and West Sask. Yea this crop is doing excellent. No I am not calling it a Disaster, Hell its Only June first, But their is no way in hell this one will match last years yield, No way.

Calling for frost all across North West Sask as well. Much he same as last year this time, strong dry winds goin on for over a week ending with a frost and no rain. South and west of the Battlefords has seen virtualy no rain at all from April 1st on. I hope we get our next rain before july this year though, more chips on the table. One concern I have is that the crop is at least a week behind normal and a frost will set it back a week again.

Last year by end of first week of June we started spraying liberty and last field was cabbageing when it was sprayed. That wont be the case this year, But back in 1997 we had to reseed some canola on June 27 with disc air drill. It made it HM.

We were spraying Canola last year today, but seeding on June 7 in 2007, and that crop was poor. Starting with a couple of strikes against us. Checking yesterday saw lumpy, loose fields with poor packing due to extreme wet conditions in a variety of drills. Seeds also in dried out soil, due to poor packing. Hard crusts on some early seeded where it hailed May 12, resulted in patchy germ. Two leaf wheat seeded May 11. Lots of canola emerged. Still some to seed in the area. But not enough CO2 to keep us warm. Frost forecast over all of Sk!

Looking at our operating companies MMF statement over the past 6-7 months we have seen close to a 75 percent reduction in our monthly payouts with an actual increase in the fund holdings so I'm afraid that perhaps the answer is yes the cost of money is that cheap.

PS Are you feeling better??

MCFARMS,

If this is the case... then our CWB Crop advances should have the interest rates cut by 80% as well.

What are the chances this will happen?

I am doing much better; Thanks!
