    I will agree with JD and furrow on the cold temps -6,9 for the SW wasn't normal or all of west side for this time of year!

      Conditions just getting really good here. NOT dry on top though, just moist and mellow, like the 75 years before 2006 were.

      Looking good so far. Better than it has been here since 2004. I get what SF3 is saying in a lot of ways, but I know what some of you are saying as well.

      The prairies are typically dryer than they are wet overall.

      A 2002 or a 1988 would be very suitable for here. But it would not be for other areas, and I do not wish ill on anyone. But as SF3 has said, the last decade has been much more rainfall secure for typically dry areas.

      Cycles come and go. For my farm, this "dry" trend is perfect. I hope we all get what we need for once.

      Simmer down fellows. Whatever will be, will be!

        Seabass, klause is accurate, in fact we seriously considered moving to that area 30 years ago. Land values were much higher , and we chickened out! Sorry, but too late now, klause got it all!

            Anyone that thinks the Palliser Triangle is the traditional canola area must be inhaling too many Cruiser Maxx fumes.

              The "retarded sisters" like to live elsewhere.

                Sask3. I guess I'm at a disadvantage. "Me and my whole family"? Didn't realize you knew who I and my family was and what we all do. I guess I should be flattered?

                  Farmer psychology is pretty awesome. Pray for no rain to get the crop in. Put your head down and work like mad. When 90% complete relax a little start comparing to the neighbor. When done look for more land and see what the neighbor is doing wrong and why he is so slow.
                  Then after all the borrowed money is spent and buried, start worrying that its dry and we need a rain.
                  Its too late, the money is spent, its in the ground. the leeches already have fed enough for another year.
                  Dont worry about the weather, let the ****ing banker worry about the weather.

                    If I could go back in time and give myself one quote it would be "nobody will remember what you said or did but they will always remember how you made them feel"

                      V just tell all about farming and give a positive spin but also tell the other side and let them see and judge if it's something they want to tackle!
                      Might get a shower here it's starting to build up! Oh well!
