      I dunno. Showered here yesterday morning, forecast was sunny and 21. It was cloudy and 10. Today was nicer, but the humidity was insane. Hardly anyone did anything today. Tomorrow more clouds and a chance of rain, so who knows. Forecast looks too good to be true. It probably therefore is. Grrr.

        Our forecast was clear. Out of nowhere a cloud appeared and dumped on us.

        We took a scouting drive and saw it hadn't rained a quarter mile south, so away we went.

        Forecast for next week is not great. Sorry Klause. Gotta slug it I fear.

              Haha well, the canola yielding like that is a 100 piece that received hog manure. 5'7" tall. Really hard to swath and combine. Tough, green straw. The rest of the 320 acres average is mid 50's.

              We got lucky on the fus. Good timing with fungicide.

              Our farm is near Killarney, MB. As I said in an earlier thread, it used to be God's country. Now it's just the Bible Belt with shitty weather.

              When I say lucky on things, I mean it. 15 miles west, east or north of us is muck.

                What is farmaholic talking about? Go hard eat ***** hard. Hopefully your at home when done. I know air is useless lately klause did you run it through the fog. Anyways how do you check a bin anyway. Top will get more moist bottom dryer. How do you know?
