What's Worse Than Drought?

Burbert,

A crop wasn't ever lost in western Canada on April 15th before!

Agree Burbert, million times worse.
Cold and snow is max depression.

Is the snow map accurate, most of Alberta covered by snow, Sk & Mb is 90% brown?
We have 50% snow cover and map shows us brown!

Map of Saskatchewan is only brown in west east
is white.

I am with you on this burbert.

With a drought you can still accomplish something. Rain and muck made me lazy. I won't be doing a rain dance for a long time.

My most productive land is under water.

Seeding hilltops is not productive.

Is true we never lost a crop on april 15, same sentiment last year as I was waiting for a couple more drying days to seed square quarters. Only to never accomplish much last year.

Funny i am in southwest sask and its plenty
white here. No chance of seeding here till at
least may 5 or so. Two weeks behind normal
now and forecast is crap for the next week.

Tom don't say it cant happen. Ive learnt that what cant happen usually does. There is a first time for everything.

Breadwinner,

"A crop wasn't ever lost in western Canada on April 15th before!"

If weather is like this... May 15... then your comment will be justified.

Well in our area last year crop was lost in the middle of April, we just didnt know it till the middle of June.

Got a foot of wet snow Wednesday night in
southern Alberta. Mostly brown again today, but
we are wet. Need a couple of weeks
