Eastern Sask has become a dumping ground for rain

[furrowtickler]

Although I totally agree with you on the Sask Ag thing - that started with me in 2004 frost with minor frost in a few low lying areas - Fukin retards .. Again totally agree on that .

W. Mb same thing. South of altona same thing. Not just sk.


And yeah Cuban was asking for drought assistance last year. Now he's floodesign out???

Now that we have internet and we can watch the weather radar and satellite, it is quite interesting how the rain builds up in certain areas. Out of nowhere a little dot gets bigger and biggger, then orange, then purple. Seeems to dump on the same areas. I should take a meteorology class - maybe will.

It's only 9 degrees right now.

In drought years of 1980's there was a track from Estevan to Esterhazy that missed a lot of moisture events.
Kenosee lake is on that line and there was concern of it drying up. Now it is full again and reclaiming bush land that grew up since 1950's.
Think it is natural variability, not much we can do about it.

If i didnt know any better, & relied on your SK govt AG employees assessment of the crop, id say saskatchewan is going to havs a real bin buster this year. I hear the excessive rains only caused minor damage, and that the high spots will more than make up for the low spots in the fields.

By the way, how many "provincial ag specialists" are employed by the sk government? And i thought mb had too many employees.

Seeing as how the earth has been cooling over the last 18 years, i think we should blame it on man-made cooling. Bring on the co2!

Conventional Crops around here look very good. Organic crops with the weeds now visible are like Christmas morning you never really know what you're going to get until you open the field.
The media rhetoric has to be the most frustrating thing a farmer can listen to. Genuine weather disasters and the talking heads are guessing how close to a record the yeilds will be.
I drove from Prince Albert to Estevan via hwy 33 the crops "looked" good. Returned via hwy 39 to Weyburn. That area looked pretty rough. Large areas of Dirty, flooded, rotting pulses. One field I just could not figure out if it was grass or canola or what! I now understand the rotting pea/lentil mess being described. Not cool at all.

We may be better off telling the industry that we have a huge crop coming.
Have them thinking there's lots out there, then October/November...oh crap
Would be nice for them to beg for our grain instead of the "call now for our $6/b. special".

Says who with any credibility?
