Ok boys how dry is it where you farm!

[SASKFARMER3]

Well finally the weather in western Canada is back to a normal spring. Funny how in this country nothing slowly happens it's just bang flood to drought or dry conditions.
Our area still I would class as wet. When your seeding even if you burn it's still soft and sticky but your able to seed. Very little dust.
I have been hearing that some areas canola is sitting in dry soil waiting for a rain to germinate.
Others are saying they need a rain soon.
So for our area were good till 5 to 7 of June.
But what are others finding in their neck of the woods.
Fire ban in northern sask so no shore lunches.
We still are burning wheat stubble off so we can seed.
So basically your area and what your moisture situation is.
East central to east side of sask. adequate to over supply good for two more weeks.
That's a example.
Back seeding thanks.

Have not had any rain here this spring at all, we seem to have missed all the showers they split and went either side of us. Its nice for a change not to be mudding a crop in, however there could be some germination problems if rain don't come soon. Your right sf3 one extreme to the next. We are located near Wadena.

Schadenfreude

Province wide fire ban. Earliest forest fire season.
Grass browning up. Trees pale.
Far too early to kill the grass or the crop yet, but eventually. Good seedbed moisture. Roots need to get started and push her through the excess straw on top. Always said the cure for excess trash is a dry year. Canola never a crop till out of ground.

our canola out of the ground, then froze. i think it'll come back enough to make a crop but its very dry here so may not matter. southwest sask. last years hay has now gone up in price already. there's some subsoil moisture but it's going fast. forecase was for rain monday, but now that's changed. going to be expensive to feed those $3500 cow calf pairs.

Sask farmer. Wouldn't mind if you talk about your area and not western Canada. Gets a little rich you saying things are back to normal. You get drew lerners moisture maps. Many areas are in all time record dry and just areas in western Canada are in high or extreme drought. Lastly not sure where you think you are traditional canola growing area and other places are non traditional. You don't have a clue where such a line is or if one exists.

Completly saturated area getting stuck.worse then last year use auto steer twenty seconds at a time little area took a cloud burst and hail storm in the fall and a few inches of moisture so far this spring. Few miles or less away just about perfect
