Rain Amounts

[furrowtickler]

Just heard on 650 that the Craven area had 120 mill so far
We had about 15 mill - that's ok by me .
We will need good rain / snow later this fall though

68 mm and counting. Raining and blowing like crazy. Don't even want to go and look at crops.

A big area east of Rosetown will have very high amounts by the end of today. Anyone from Outlook area here ?

farming101, I thought I was the only one that doesn't like to survey the potential damage. It can be so ****ing dis-heartening.

Wouldn't it be nice if it didn't matter what the weather did?

Been at this too long. But as the saying goes "That's Farmin'!"

I think the roof just started leaking...

1.3 overnight. Hope that is about it. Supposed to maybe get windy. So far, been fairly typical breezes.

2.3" or 58mm so far, never needed a drop to finish a great crop... Plus windy, barley across the road twisted and flat. Haven't ventured out either. In May June the RAIN was a mist maybe a tenth or two in a day, now get that in minutes, huge drops water standing instantly. Again it's STUCK weather spinning on Sk, taking grain...

Up until now I had 5 tenths since may 1st.

My crop was ****ed but knew enough not to ask for rain since it wouldn't help. Actually made it worse. I feel really bad for guys that had a crop and now have to struggle to put it in a bin.

How does crop insurance deal with a year that starts out wet, goes bone dry, and finishes wet again with quality issues.

If I would have waited a week they could have found the too wet acres today.again.

For those that had a crop - good luck with harvest - it looks to be a real muddy harvest.
