Really really dry

[wd9]

Here in East central AB it hasn't rained since the snow left latter part of April. It is extremely dry and fields are struggling to germinate. The strong winds took most of the moisture away from the furrow preventing germination. If i here bruce from the CWB talking about how wet it is one more time i'm gonna lose it.

But, the majority of the market talk is around too much rain. Here it is all seeded but growth is painful. Is the market aware of these challenges?

All the market sees is that it is sowed,bumper crop for sure in their eyes

WD9,

We after the frosts we do need rain to fill in stands and help the injured Canola plants recover especially.

Please Everyone...Say a prayer... this planet is unbalanced in its weather systems... we truly need some devine help to bring our crops along and finish seeding.

You serious, the world and weather is variable,
get used to it. It sucks big time, but that's life.
Not a damn thing getting on your knees and
praying going to do about it. Better off to pray
fior what you have in life that what you don't.

[FarmRanger]

I wish I could send you some rain wd9. 2/3 done
seeding and waiting to get back on the field here
in southern Alberta. Water everywhere. Roads
are in terrible shape.
Still time if we get the crop in soon though.

Keep optimistic, we're all in this together.

Proverbs 15:29

Wheatking,

Thanks for your input.

This promise holds more for my family and I:
2 Chronicles 7:13-I may shut the sky so that there is no rain, or command grasshoppers to devour the countryside, or send an epidemic among my people. 14However, if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves, pray, search for me, and turn from their evil ways, then I will hear [their prayer] from heaven, forgive their sins, and heal their country. 15My eyes will be open, and my ears will pay attention to those prayers at this place."

Here's the religion deal for guys like Tom.
First, there is more than one flavour of religion; which means that Christianity isn't the only valid one.
Second, no one has the right to force their version (or the equally valid right to not believe in organized religion of any kind) on anyone else.
ergo, everyone keeps their quotes to themselves except during debates that others agree to participate in.

[begood]

My strong suspicicion is that with or without "prayer" of any kinds; and irregardless of the amount or strength or emotions expressed; the atmosphere will not be influenced in any way.
Thank "god" that it is so.

[BreadWinner]

dogooder who is it going to hurt? Be a little more tolerant.

[seedman]

Whoa, Begood- reading the thread I come to the conclusion that you are forcing your views on us more than the other two ever were. The thread developed to where they were merely having a conversation between themselves and you were the one who jumped in trying to "clarify" for us what we should be thinking, based on how you have experienced life. You are correct- there are more religions out there than Christianity. You, like us and them, have the right to say what you want, but I would suggest a bit more tolerance and forethought prior to try to evangelize us to your way of thinking. WheatKing merely said "say a prayer"... he did not indicate to whom, it was not specific, so that left it wide open for anyone,anywhere to pray to anyone/thing that they chose. If the thread really offends you, you also have the right to not continue reading it.
