snow wreck in the peace

[woodland]

AJL I'll second that. I'm getting nervous about the half of our crop left out messing up this years crop. After the past two years I'd be further ahead if I didn't plant anything. 2015 was super dry and burned up most of the crop then 2016 was too wet and only got half the crop anyways. Now this year is looking like another mess. At least there should be lots of grass for the cows.....

Swinkler normally the truck thieves in our area head to one of the reserves by us. We know since we followed the neighbors truck there two weeks ago after it got swiped at lunchtime while they were home.

Worst F#$King thing in the world is to wet. Sorry to here the harvest that never ends continue. Seen on radar that it was picking up speed.
Good luck stay safe.

Sorry to hear things are taking a turn for the worse in areas that were hit so hard last fall. If I could offer any encouragement I would only say don't give up yet, things "can" turn around quickly and it's amazing how Mother Nature also has a good side. I know some haven't seen that side of her for a while but as the old saying goes, hope springs eternal.

Have a foot of wet stuff here on top of an inch of rain. Heard once you got east of here 20 miles there was little to no snow. What a bloody mess calving now. Neighbours have half the crop out and wheat was standing. Thinking a pro till will be the only way.

quite a few nieghbors rushed out and bought pro tills , sunflower discs , etc. at $100k plus and worked land in dec. we just took our allis disc out and worked 3 quarters . our ruts are levelled , theirs are not . are they just a fad ?

Don't give up hope yet. In 2010 we had mountains of snow and I mean winged up drills nearly full of snow.This was the third week of April. A couple warm weeks and we were started seeding by the 10th of May. Alittle late but workable.

We were able to finish combining on Tuesday, but our plan had been to start seeding and combine it when we got to it if we hadn't been able to get it done in time.

Make sure and clean extra barley and oat seed and line up some short season canola.

Most of the theft here is out of Calgary. Drug addicts and/or desperate people. Getting worse as the economy struggles.

Thankful that our area in eastern Sask missed rain and snow so far in April.
Still have full sloughs and high water table from past few super wet years.
Saturated soils around slough margins has meant little crop production, even where we do get them seeded.
Worst case is where we have given up on some fields.
Other side of coin is higher ground and lighter land has produced amazingly well.
Sympathy for those struggling with snow, especially cattle producers.

we sure lucked out here in the NE , only 2 tenths and a skiff of snow that was gone in a couple hours . drying up real good . places where water laid from July until we were discing in December are dry now .
