    Talked to a guy today that said Chem fallow isn't out of the question if moisture conditions don't improve here by seeding time next spring. Although he did say he'd have to plant a crop on some land he rents. To be honest with you, the thought has also entered my mind.

      we got 7.5 tenths out of the last shot. got going today canola was 11.5
      should mix with the 6 % stuff before the rain. standing barley was 13.5
      but it just kept creeping up. now at 2 am 15.5.
      i know we all need rain ,
      but give me 4 days and i will be done.
      do not stretch 700 acres out for a month. or two please
      i wan t to be done and run away
      then it can rain all it wants
      everyone else, shaves their stubble, give me 18 inches filled with snow.
      at least you have a chance, i think the last 6 wet years are the exception.

      if this is the transition year lookout.
      we can grow some great crops here , but we can get hammerd too.
      frost , drought
      Unity to Lloyd, second best crop district in province.
      SF3 had a month with no rain, how about a frost in july, ( was not this year ) i actually got out to see if the clean grain
      elevator door was open.
      nope there was just nothing there.

      all fun fun fun
      we love it though

        Sawfly....there's enough physical distance between us that a good soaking rain here may not affect you there. Just as its been throughout Western Canada this year, afew places got rain were we didn't. Lottery. A blessing to some a curse to others.

              YR.no has a rather unusual forecast for Friday here. That's what i'd call a wet morning lol. Not sure how likely the 18C low overnight low is either.

                Wow Grassfarmer, hope that misses you and hits us. 3 inches would probably do the job. Friday is alwys a good day.

                    Nice shower in Regina this morning, the rain gauge is ready and waiting. Did you look at the infra red satellite on Environment Canada website-It's been awhile since I have seen anything like that. In the past we would get inches out of that kind of system. Still hoping🍀
