Rain event

Holy crap did it rain here last night and overnight. 1.3 inches. And looks like there could be a bit more on the way. Peas will be going down, started combining them at 3ish yesterday afternoon. They will probably be hard to straight cut now...mud!. We've been spoiled with easy harvesting peas for a while.

The rain will probably plump up wheat and help the canola, mustard and flax a bit too.

Putting a bit of moisture in the soil bank for next year.

My parents in town, 4 miles away, told me 2.5 inches, I might have to go in and check myself!

Got more rain here (most as snow) at harvest last year than during growing season. That is a gift that will keep on giving. Be thankful for dry weather.

Need rain to finish beans
Still at just 5 in for the year

[grassfarmer]

Zero here either. Overcast though so hopefully it comes. Soon be needing to drill holes for step in fence posts it's getting so hard.

What’s wrong with a good rain after harvest? Lentils are in the bin and 1.4 inches at one farm, 1.65 at the other.

Luckily no rain here and any rain now would only cause grief. Sounds like a cold night ahead so fingers crossed it stays above freezing!

Your lentils are done, may I ask what they yielded having them done this early?
Where are you at?

1 up to 21/2 inches around here. Only one guy with lentils in the bin. We needed rain 2 weeks ago but beggars can’t be chosers.
