Gonna need some rain for the canola to germinate we are reseeding. 2/10's would be welcome. Hard to believe how the top inch or so has dried out so fast.

Stoughton area and south twenty miles, some guys getting stuck two, three times per field. Its either wet , or there ****ing stupid.

If your area didn't grow canola in 1985 than you're not in a traditional canola area.

In 1980, the first rain came on July 19, after months of hot wind. It was too late for wheat, but Laird Lentils held on and made a good crop. We had fall anhydroused and the soil was loose and dry. The dilemma was do you spray a worthless crop?

Some of us remember how the 80 s were, some forget. The drought got to 5 miles or so from us before the cycle broke. We looked at a machine that would leave a strip of wheat stubble higher than the rest to catch snow. But it lasted about 6 years.
Some say the flood years never happened those who witnessed know they did.
It's farming in western Canada where a place like Melfort was known as a sure crop area till Mother Nature changed that.
Dry right now is good get the roots to go down and take away some of this ground water. Because a week of rain and we would be back in rough shape again. June 5 to 10 yea that will work and dress forcast looks like that's the next event if the blocking pattern over BC breaks down. If it doesn't break down look out were all going to be dry.
