Upwards of 4-5 inches rain in the southwest this afternoon and still raining. Just perfect timing. Sincerely hope everyone got some that needed some. Time for a rum. Salute

Shut the f'ing tap off. One extreme to the next for me.

It's been a rough ride for the livestock guys in this area last few months. Hauling water most of the winter because of toxic dugouts and then facing the possibility of next to no hay. Spring runoff surprisingly plentiful filled the dugouts and now this rain will go along way to making a hay crop. Grain,pulse and oilseed crops are well established but were fast approaching situation critical. Fat lady had been warming her pipes but got sent home for now.

It pissed off and on here all day...a purple cell on radar lurked just west of us all afternoon that kept me out of the field spraying, no sense having it washed off. It looked like it could have poured all afternoon...but didn't, here anyway. That cell just seemed to sit there...never trust the direction of a rain cell...they peter out, change direction or develop more and cover a bigger area.

Looks like we're in store for a bit tonight.

Nother bumper. Doing all we can to produce more for the 🚃.

We went from needing an inch to wet the top and get all germinated to drowning. We are losing yield here now with over 6 plus inches in the last 2 weeks. Just need heat and a rain in July to make a crop. If we get what is forecast for the next week it will be hard to finish spraying. Who would have thot it could do a 180 so fast.

Rain makes grain. Always. Relax, wet is all good.

Thats right now a 60 bpa crop will be worth 4 dollars as opposed to a 40 bushel crop worth 6....

The new math says you are better off with the 60 bpa crop.

Making it up on volume....

I would have to agree there will be losses in parts of the field and tremendous gains in others.....especially had it stayed desert dry.

There is now as many low spots with water as there was after the fast thaw this spring. Alot of those low spots dried up and were seeded through...some of them had water in them twice since May 24th....and it went away, now the third time and its gotten to the point it won't soak away in time for the crop to survive in them anymore. Still better than desert dry in the Sahara Slum of the Ghetto though.

East side of province could see tornadoes according to Weath Network. Must be a Trump Storm. 😄
