    Not a pile but glad to get it.....even after all that pissing and moaning this morning.

    I THINK THE HEAVY HARROWS WILL STAY FOLDED UP AT THE YARD THIS SPRING. There wasn't alot of trash to contend with from last year's lighter crop
    Try zero ... again.
    Agree with others , most of us grew last was 75% or more subsoil . It ain’t there now.
    Lots can and will change in some areas , but in general........

        Funny thing paid again for Drews forecasting and yes it hit the mark. Totals are a little lower but storms are following a similar path to years ago. Sunday he said will be an on and off week for us for rain and environment Canada had rain Monday and sunny ways all week. Now today I read and environment Canada feels Yorkton south might get some the same as Drew Said. Time will tell but Environment Canada is usually wrong.

        His concern and its also mine are we will get normal rain till July then the taps might turn off if the same situation develops in Alaska as last year. But the line of no rain is more southern Manitoba.

        But yes we grew last years crop at 75% of the flood years reserve. The reserve is gone.

        Moisture yesterday did meet the two layers again, thanks to stupid wind the week before drying shit up.

        Ah farming its Western Canada where mother nature is one cruel bitch and most years shes pissed.

          The GFS model is not very reliable either, but this doesn't look too encouraging.
          Totals out to May 15 in inches

            6 tenths billion dollar rain!! We were one tenth away from matching all of last years precipitation.
            Very, very thankful for the moisture.

                  Pretty awesome, I saw that circle on radar. It just kept spinning around over you. Now you kinda feel like seeding?

                    The snows we had from Mar 5 till three wks ago gave us moisture to get going. This rain has lifted the spirits immensely.
