My potatoes had a meeting this afternoon to vote on when they will bloom. Not one of them said anything about frost in this area. Pars

Its not when you talk to your plants that your considered ummm eccentric/ its when they start answering you back.

Can't be farm potatoes, no two of them would have voted the same way! Happy that there were no eye votes, Parsley?

For the rest of the posters, it's fairly important that you not try farming within the artic circle. Move to the real southeast Sk. where frost and floods are a rarity.

Checking, make sure you bake yourself a cake with a candle that says "I'm number 1, yea me." Problem is you will have to eat it yourself.

"Problem", furrowtickler. At least it's not incessant whining.

Just stating facts as I see them, and not bragging while others are going to be in huge financial trouble, and are under tremendous stress. We were furtunate to get done seeding before the end of may and 1/2 done spraying up to this point here in the "far north". Crops have been nipped by frost/bugs a few times which is norm in may but not June. Overall our crop is great here, but not far away, 10 miles south, west and actualy east of us it has been a battle royal with mother nature. The pockets of good crop at this point is dwarfed by the millions of acres in trouble - thats what I and many others see. Good luck to you, give yourself a big pat on the back.

The pig spleen reader passed away a few years ago so that skill is now a lost art. Too bad since environment Canada could fire some global warmers and get some spleen readers instead and improve forecast accuracy.

I'll add on to my offending comment, furrowtickler... "about the size of the piece of cake you are entitled to". Give yourself a big hug, while I look for a spleen examining, nerdy Indian.
