Drew Predicted this dryness January 28, 2015.

Yes he did and that is why I pay for his service. Hes the only guy who hit it right on the year it rained all October and we had dry grain to harvest the first two weeks of November.

And even I get the markets right once in a while.

Thanks Drew and those who share the information that he provides. Guess we should have summerfallowed this year, but who expects total absence of even a sniff of rain. These showers are not rain. One inch across 1/3 of the province is rain. With all the subsoil moisture, even a few showers could make a mediocre crop. Maybe showers will come this weekend after some warming up.

Was anything done different because of his prediction?

Seed deeper rooted crops, increase crop ins coverage, cut back on fertilizer?

Or what do you do with his predictions that you pay for?

Harper spent 750 million on weather forecasting did they predict this?

You have mentioned you were flooded out 10 years in a row. Did Drew predict this for your area 10 years in row. If one was to pick and choose long range forecasts, no seeding would ever get done.

Forage,

Reality check.

We do the best with what we have. In 2010 I believed the Global warming folks... planted lentils and Soy... and got it between the eyes with a sledge hammer.

Since then... listened to Dew... it has made a massive change to the viability of our farm.

Ignore wise council at your peril.
Over and Out!!!

And this is why I didnt grow an acre of canola!! I know Drew personally talked with him 2 wks ago, he told me he wishes more farmers would had really taken to heart and listened when he basically said watch what you grow in the yr ahead with these conditions looming.
I did have 2000 ac booked but he scared me away, instead grew red lentils. We have had rain things look good for now, but this heat will be a true test of what crops are made of.

3 tenths here since may 1. Not sure many crops even with the subsoil moisture will amount to anything.

They are simply burning out.

Even drew has to be shocked by the dryness, low humidity and how quick it's changed.

I knew my canola crop look like shit last year because of the excess moisture and not getting to it. But it would look like a bumper this year.

Yes Drew did.

About 700 people at Bourassa's Weyburn grand opening (about Oct/2014); those persons heard him say it as clearly as possible. And throughout his key note speech he kept elaborating on exactly how it has unfolded.
