Useless Rain again!

yes farms , it's always like that here in the NE . we are always fighting to much water . we have lost more crops because of water than anything else . we have a rotary ditcher , pull type grader and sc****r and use them every year . just a fact of life here . when we get the odd dry year we can't believe how easy farming is ! good thing it doesn't happen often or we'd probably try to farm more land , lol.

So true caseih. Farming 10000 in east or ne Sask is like 20000 in swift.

That transition is here within a 60 mile stretch .
Right locally here , your comparison, which is spot on, puts this area at about 15,000 in comparison to you guys.
Some are bigger and do very well, some are a complete gong show every year.
Some are much smaller and do very well.
At the end of the day - generally we are not as handcuffed by fall weather but can be about 50% of the time the guys out east are but usually not as severe conditions .
Saying that , there are guys with 1000's of AC to go yet in this area . The majority are done or will be within a few days if weather holds .

Management is a huge factor - some don't agree and blame 100% weather .
Case in point - there is a 15000 AC farm done here and anouther that is just half done - it's purely management as both farms had relatively the same weather .
