The Rain Lottery

That’s quite the downgrade from what they were predicting for you a few days ago. We’re sitting pretty now and need some sun to get back in the field and to kick the grass into grow mode.

Yep, lot of cattle guys going to be in a pile of trouble very quickly without rain. Cattle already turned out in this area on some of the worst overgrazed pastures from last year - you can still see the gopher's feet! Rapidly approaching the point where first cut hay crops will be limited whether it rains or not.

We were in your backyard a few months ago when we drove from winkler to weyburn. Managed to find every road banned at 65% between there it seemed and I’m sure I was a little overweight even without the bans😉

Luckily no cops or DOT’s bothered us so all was good😎

Good seeding conditions here in southwest/southcentral sask. Had 3 Tenths of rain and 12-16 inches of snow end of April. Lentils chickipeas and durum up with some canola just starting to emerge. Wouldn't say no to a nice general rain though. Gophers seem to be making a comeback with more of the little striped bastards

I noticed same thing this year, wonder what that means?

Got about 8/10 between Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. Seems fairly localized but I’ll take it gladly! Might even have to mow my lawn! - #problemsofactuallygettingrain

I’d happily take another inch this weekend.
