    What's left and how good will it be.

    Is the crop still getting bigger? Is rain still making grain? Will the quality of what's left out keep a lid on good quality grain already harvested?

    This is obviously "S" rated..... meaning may contain sarcasm.

    Mildew, sprouting, bleaching, loss of weight, etc...

    Harvest conditions will be brutal....how long do you wait before getting back at it? As the days tick by....do you even chance waiting for better conditions to harvest the crop when you can?

    What % of the Western Canada harvest is complete? Might be a good idea to hold your quality grain ladies and gentlemen.

    We got .58 of an inch but it looks like more because the ground is already moist. Swaths could be slow to dry out if the ground is saturated. Short harvest days with early evening humidity. But let's hope things improve. Indian summer is always an opportunity but I've seen them very short some years.

                    Congratulations! on being done furrow.

                    We had a two inch rain today. We were getting kind of dry. Tongue in cheek.

                    Oh well the last will be a big struggle as only a handful are done around us.

                    Creeks running and East was worse some one had Melville at 5 inches but not sure.
