    OK! Who else besides me is starting to think just a little we might not get this crop harvested!

    I mean yes its only the second week of Sept and yes their still technically are 6 weeks till winter hits in most of western Canada. But with another inch this afternoon and three and half the other day plus the 30 some before that I am starting to think the work we have been doing is for nothing. Will get plane in to do section because cant get sprayer on the ground. (note to self if cant get sprayer across how are you going to get a combine). Heavy clay with all this moisture will take weeks to dry up. Sand maybe has a chance. Clay loam not sure either. So lets do a pole who thinks we wont get it.
    Yes. or No (no cwb questions in your opinion). Hell even Hursch was spouting the other day on the radio that he was worried.

          Will some make it to the bin? Yes. Will all of it make it to the bin in 2010? No. Ideally, we'd need -10C nights for a week. I realize this would kill a lot of crops, but it would harden the ground quickly and let combines roll. That's how harvest has been finished in these neck of the woods past couple years. Works pretty well - easier on the 'bine than pushing through 25% wheat.

              No, never, not a hope, Mother nature has told us we cant have a crop this year. We are just having a hard time realizing it. The only hope we have is frozen ground and no snow. We probably end up with wet heavy snow and no frozen ground. Looks like it will be a long winter.

                Looks totally impossible at the moment. But in this area, last October was the same hopeless feeling and it all got done in Nov. Sure hard to wait for it.

                  Last year we hardley turned a wheel in october, but did get it off in november. Can't see that miracle happening two years in a row. Wonder if anybody got any winter wheat seeded? The only way to do it in our area is by plane or boat.

                    Will we get this crop harvested? Ya I think so. Will it be easy? No! Will it be expensive? Ya! Will it be a salvage operation? Sure looks like it. Am I worried? You better believe it!
