Drought ?

It looks like Kindersley has the weather we want this week. How much does it cost to move the farm over there?

That area up through Unity Lloyd and north is in a very wet cycle . And by the looks of the radar the trend continues.

So true. Ground is like a sponge. Cultivators are out working stuff to dry things out. Lot of early seeded canola got crusted. Hope this rain softens it so more can poke out. I've never seeded so shallow before. I have some barley for greenfeed left to seed on a real wet half. Thinking about broadcasting and working it in. Never seen it so wet but it can change too.

Yup forecasters missed it by a factor of 10. There might have been .01 inch here this morning.
Not calling drought here yet but it might be appropriate by Friday. Don't need much rain but a little would be nice.
Yr.no had 2 inches forecast for this next weekend. Now it says maybe 4 tenths. Useless forecast
Hope Saturday brings some moisture.

So what's the so called expert forecaster "Drew" saying about rain? I know there was a poster on here who blew a gasket when someone questioned Drew's forecasting abilities!

He is calling for another system next weekend . I have not seen where for sure
