    No one I know wants a rain for the next three to 4 weeks....

    They want to finish harvest, pick bales and take some time ...

      This pothole had water in it when the rest of the field was seeded. Then it dried enough to barely get it seeded to wheat like the rest of the field....then the rains flooded it out....now it looks like this!

      I think its bi-polar.

        Sask you should know by now rain this late not going to help pastures etc.
        There would be nothing worse for us guys in the drought to have rain come now so we can't harvest the crop no matter how big or small it is.
        I assume all the rain experience has taught you when it turns on it may not shut off enough until the snow falls.
        Remember a few years back didn't rain a lot but every 3 or 4 days it was maddening.

          I know someone who got at least 1.5 tenths yesterday and told him some people would punch me in the head for saying I'd take ten times that right now. I'm selfish...all the wet weather prone crops are in the bin on the "Sandbox Farmer's(play farming) farm in the Slum of the Ghetto". Finished wheat Saturday night. Only stuff left to go is Flaxth and Kelowna...moisture proof but not wind proof.

            I remember sitting the combines for the entire month of september one year....and then having to harvest tough grain with no where to sell it....September is meant to be dry and sunny....with colours...

                What are those coupal sections of durum looking like this year? Did you get the "good luck with harvesting" wishes relayed to you?

                  I believe we got all of 1/2 a tenth yesterday. Not sure if i should break out the dance shoes yet.

                  in 2017 I seeded canola and flax 1" deep and wheat 1.5" deep. In 2018 I seeded flax and canola 1.5" and wheat 2". How deep am I going to have to go next year?

                    Guys I guess you didn’t read if we don’t get a rain in fall meaning after harvest before freeze up next year could be interesting.

                    Why would I want a rain now it’s harvest after bring it on.

                    Yes some dugouts only drop so far some empty to nothing.

                    It’s a map showing how dry.

                    God read

                      I just got a very unwelcome inch and a month away from greasing a combine.
