Storm in S. Manitoba

[may-be]

1.2" on my farm just north of riding mountain. First time in seven years I did not curse it. First time in over a decade I actually needed it. It sure feels great having a good crop for a change. I went for a ride close to the mountain yesterday and seen the organic guys were in full swing seeding. I saw a couple quarters not seeded yet and some just seeded and mucked in in places that are farmed by 2 zero tillers in that heavey gumbo land. I wish them luck with the forcast we have

8/10" today, just right...saw lots of flooded along #5 at Wadena and to Humboldt.

Braveheart, you take the prize, I guess. We are glad the forecast rain hasn't materialized - yet. We've had our share of disease in the last few years with Fuz Durum that all had to be cleaned or dumped. We just sold the screenings from 2 years ago. Price today almost the same as wnat we got for #2 Durum 2014 crop. our friend sprayed his Durum 3x in 2014 and had no disease. Live and learn. Instead of spending 70 grand on spray, we bought a portable seed cleaner and sat beside it half the winter while the friends were in Cuba, smoking cigars. Never grew Durum for 30 years until 2014, that's our excuse.
