    Yield is starting to go down!

    A rain now on some crops won't do shit all to reverse the trend! Barley or durum close to flag the plant has the head size already figured out! Canola bolting will flower very dat and end fast if the weather keeps up. Peas and lentils similar! Our needs one rain to take it a step up but if a general doesn't hit even our area will join the f$&kes club! Time to finish the lasts spraying take back all the fungicides and extras and go fishing!
    Yield is dropping were hours away from way lower expectations!
    Mother Nature you win again!

    Wow, part of what is saving us up here, is the staging. Flag? What is that? Nothing even remotely close to flag, therefore much less moisture use as of now.

    Good luck, hope you get a rain soon.

        I just flipped the switch off. Done seeding.
        Where do I sign up for the aid package? Are there forms or something? Maybe later in the year? I got mouths to pay and habits to feed.

          Rain will just cause expenses at this point. I hope the grasshopper come. Saw some today making summer fallow.

                I do empathize for the serious drought farmers. If your hoping for grasshoppers, thats getting pretty serious.

                  On the bright side my organic crops up north seeded 4" deep on June 2 still looks OK. They are growing a little slower and have no weeds. My MRB flexicoil 5000 cultivator conversion is killing the shit out of quack and thistle.

                    Crops N of Wadena look good from the road. 80-90% emerged and GREEN. Could be small area, but Humboldt has had rains too, Nipawin 2". Have a week or two to get rain to prevent yield loss. But if HEAT comes....
