A test for seed drills ....

Looks like possibility of rain Thursday.

Most of our crops are saved or lost on the Farm Progress show weekend in Regina.

I feel the real question on the airseeders should be
- how much moist soil do you need over the seed for it to grow?
- Then the next question is how deep is the seed?
- Seeds with good fertility and quality can easily emerge and be vigorous as they push through light/fluffy, loose packed soil. Different story if a hard rain washes dirt into the furrow, crusts etc.

That is true.

Latest run doesn't increase beneficial amounts coverage but has moved it west off the Manitoba border. Small areas could see 4 day totals of a half inch plus by Saturday. Or not

I may have to dust off the trading account and buy some call options. Either that or close
it out and buy beer.

I think I’ll do the same. May be better than crop insurance. Then it’ll be sure to rain- an inch a week😂

Our next chance at precip in my neck of the woods is towards the end of next week....looks like another lottery. For those lucky enough to have adequate to abundant moisture to get canola established....be greatful.

This isn't fun anymore.

Edit, next week means the end of this week I guess.... today is Sunday.

This is just looking like, “Shades of 1988” . Our rain historically comes from Montana-Idaho lows but some darn North down-pressure is not allowing those big orange fronts to get over the border. We are in constant communication with brokers in Montana, they have good moisture so far ( winter storms were good to them) and Helena had an inch last week, so maybe the systems will break through and the scenario will change.

We need an inch not a few tenths. If we don't get an inch in the next month it's game over here. We got the crop to start so I'm thankful we had snow this winter. But it won't make much difference without a nice rain. we had 18 inches of subsoil when we started seeding time is running out for this crop.
