A lot of cattle are either being fed in the pastures or have been removed from pastures. I've never seen them this bad before. The poorly managed ones are the hardest hit.

Got about 4 tenths here last Wed. Thought the ground would be dry again quickly. Not so. Easy to doze dirt now with header

30 mm here as well. Help keep us out of the soybeans till they're ready.
This rain will also perk up our cover crop. We had seeded barley for some late season grazing (on barley stubble). The leaves were browning off. Should recover and grow nicely now.

Just under an inch in our part of eastern Sask.
Should be enough for good germination of winter cereals in ground.
June rain on top of full sloughs was enough to cause a few to start running over again, no runoff since.
Amazing how some sloughs have dried from percolation and evaporation.
Goose population bigger than ever, coyotes and foxes will have a field day next year unless it comes wet again.
Will take another dry year to take cropland soil moisture down to lows of 1980's.

Talked to a guy today that said Chem fallow isn't out of the question if moisture conditions don't improve here by seeding time next spring. Although he did say he'd have to plant a crop on some land he rents. To be honest with you, the thought has also entered my mind.

we got 7.5 tenths out of the last shot. got going today canola was 11.5
should mix with the 6 % stuff before the rain. standing barley was 13.5
but it just kept creeping up. now at 2 am 15.5.
i know we all need rain ,
but give me 4 days and i will be done.
do not stretch 700 acres out for a month. or two please
i wan t to be done and run away
then it can rain all it wants
everyone else, shaves their stubble, give me 18 inches filled with snow.
at least you have a chance, i think the last 6 wet years are the exception.
if this is the transition year lookout.
we can grow some great crops here , but we can get hammerd too.
frost , drought
Unity to Lloyd, second best crop district in province.
SF3 had a month with no rain, how about a frost in july, ( was not this year ) i actually got out to see if the clean grain
elevator door was open.
nope there was just nothing there.
all fun fun fun
we love it thoughLast edited by sawfly1; Sep 18, 2017, 03:23.

Sawfly....there's enough physical distance between us that a good soaking rain here may not affect you there. Just as its been throughout Western Canada this year, afew places got rain were we didn't. Lottery. A blessing to some a curse to others.
