Fun in the mud

Hey MD 02 while I think having water laying in a good crop of standing canola is the pits I was actually referring to that picture AND Caseih's report of yet more rain for their area. His area has been declared a disaster area already. It ain't getting any better either.

Did the 40 inches of rain (or very close to it) in 2010. Still suffering from the lingering effects.

Thank goodness I don't have to dealwith those conditions....things are actually real good here in that respect(and some others)

What drives me nuts is what lenghts some people have to go, what conditions they have to endure and what costs they will incur to grow a crop and its too much to be expected to be treated and paid fairly for their efforts....you would think a little dignity and respect would be forth coming....but.....too many negative waves!

Can you go fishing for a couple of weeks, not have to look at it? That is no fum at all and I sympathize with you. Thank God the Regina Block let us get what we did get without any measurable moisture in the past 2 weeks. Hang in there baby! These laying down diseased lentils would have been a write-off.

Wet here as well fields very soft not to the point of water in the tracks yet. One question I have I look at grainews website headline is monster crop in Saskatchewan, western producer talks about pea production toppling previous record. It seems everyone is expecting a massive crop crop. My crops look average except maybe my canola which looks better than average. Why is the farm press building expectations of this huge crop?

Why the media reports on the huge crop? Because the monitor said it went 70 through that spot and that's all anyone hears and remembers.
