Makes one wonder is this the new climate we are going to be dealing with. The other side is frosts seem to be comming earlier in the fall.

Guys on here talking about 6 out of last 10 yrs. Is this the new normal. Should we be adjusting cropping/farming to accomodate.

There used to be a 60 day barley anybody know where there is any seed? Maybe we should be researching 60 day wheat or perenial wheat.

Doesn't matter if it is roundup ready if you can't get it in the ground early enough to avoid fall frost.

I'm not saying I don't think we will get seeded, it is still earley and we don't know what the fall will be like. But when it starts happening too many years in a row it does become the norm.

On the bright side the summerfallow won't blow.

When the wind blows there will be whitecaps on the summerfallow.

We've got lakes where we've never had them before, but nothing like what's in that picture.

And THEN...

From BNN:

Goldman says commodity markets frothy

"The great commodity bull run of the last two years may be coming to an end—at least according to Goldman Sachs. The king of Wall Street’s investment banks issued a report this week telling investors it’s pulling out of its commodity trades. While Goldman says commodity prices could still move higher, the “near-term risk reward no longer favours being long in the basket.” The company also citied “record speculative length” in the commodities market, which may be pushing up prices. Making matters worse for the commodity-driven Canadian market was another report by Goldman recommending investors sell Canadian equities. Can’t a Canadian catch a break…"

Well my guess that if canada is not in the market and the northern tier states are taken out, things might be interesting.

But maybe that imaginary line isn't getting snow south of it.

Anyone guessing on the open? The bankers say to get out? About mid may they will be wishing they hadn't.

I must be too close to the forest to see the trees. In rubber boots/snoshoes no less.

Its too bad people keep looking at historical crap when gauging this market. Recent history, since the coming of the white man on the canadian prairies have never seen moisture like this.

When a 1/4" of moisture continues to make soup in the fields, someone had better believe there is a problem.
