Yeah freewheat, going to need pics on what too wet actually looks like apparently. Starting to be a fair bit of drowned peas around the water holes south and east of Edmonton. Even seen wheat turning yellow because of standing in water. Too wet really is worse than too dry. If you can get stuck machinery in the pictures.

Yup, too wet is so much nicer than too dry.

Nice crops Klause. They're coming along nicely.
Every so often I put up this gps map of a half that was missing about 80 acres in 2010.
It didn't get seeded that year and hasn't improved much in 6 years.
It's still missing 60 or 70.
I would take this mess over a 6 year drought, but a one year drought not even close.
Bring on the drought. Oh and in 2010 we harvested 30 or 35 bu/acre of diseased lightweight barley.
Rain doesn't always make grain.

So what some equipment gets stuck when your pulling on average over all the acres 50-60bus peas 50+ bus canola and 80+ bus barley. Don't whine because it takes some work you are getting great yields. Just like the whining by sask3 about too wet and then you hear the yields. I'm starting to think most in hear really don't understand drought when your canola is in full bloom and you can see dirt across the entire field. I don't tell me about useless crop insurance
Look, neither of us obviously has lived the others extremes. But too much rain sucks far more than not enough, lets face it.

I've lived both extremes. 48" in 2010, followed by two more years with over 24". Then two years ago I was down to 6" and last year was under 1/2" from April to august. Too wet is dirty, hard and frustrating but you can mange things to maintain a decent yield over all. Drought is just soul destroying, there's absolutely nothing you can do to make it better.
