I hope we get a decent rain , at least 1/2 inch or so with this next low pressure system on Saturday
Ended up with just a 2 /10 from last nights big storm - more wind and lightning than rain.
Some heavy crops showing dry stress here yesterday. Some heavy canola and wheat crops had blue Color yesterday on lighter land
Saskcan - did you get much ?

Went N and S of us again, more rain E of Regina too. Not suffering but wind is drying stuff out fast.

YR.NO is showing 45mms for us, would take it happily. Can never have enough heading into hot season for my liking. But that's just me lol.

4/10 upto 7/10th. Nice little rain. We have more then adequate moisture. Haven't been out your way in a week or so. Didn't realize you were that dry.

What a stupid press release for Apas to put out. Poor leadership and no one there who knows how to work the press and the political side.

I get his point to the railways on a crop but really email the railways and don't don't don't put out a press release markets down hard on idiot comment!
Spit now that's a rain I like! Now f&@king aphids in peas to the east of us! fM!

Caught 6/10th a week ago Tuesday- nothing for 2 1/2 weeks before that .
Soil moisture still ok on good land but lighter stuff showing big stress yesterday

we've missed them all , here's hoping .... canola is hurtin , especially guys who scrimped on the nutrients .

Are farmers actually paying for guys to put out news releases like that? Stats Can is notorious for issuing releases that hurt us. If he would have said there are pockets of nice looking crops and many waiting for rain, it wouldn't have had the same impact. Disease is a real possibility woth these daily showers and muggy conditions. I really wonder how these fungicides can be a fraction of our prices in US and we can't bring them across. We gotta push guys! Where is free trade? That's where APAS should focus, not on no-win press releases.
