Rain All Around

[woodland]

5-10, maybe 3 years from now, we will dial in the field from our cel phone and the tractor will seed for 12 hours non-stop. Vive le square section, sans les sloughs.

That would require cell service too ........ I strike out on all three counts. Back to old school seat time I guess😉

How many have good cell service at all your land locations?

[fjlip]

We have cell every part of farm, Xplornet Satellite internet is EXTREMELY variable. Wireless line of sight is much better. Shelter belt ruins line of sight!

You guys must be sick of this but guaranteed you can't be as tired of it than I am.
I don't know what it is about approaching rain(on radar imagery) that seems to dissipate before it reaches us.
So disheartening to watch the system evaporate. Or churn 50-100 kms away but there seems to be an invisible wall holding it back or some giant "evaporator" that kills it before it can enter our area.

I need a real explanation.
Sooner or later one has to reach us.
We could use something already.
Last year we had a third inch early to kick start things

It is the weird Regina Block. Dirty........

[woodland]

Raining here............. again So much for plans of hauling yearlings to grass today and possibly trying to plant some corn on some sandy ground. I guess we had a seeding window of five days with half the ground dry”ish” enough to seed in May and I should be happy with that.



The neighbourhood is in “next year country“ already. In between us and you dry guys there must be goldilocks farm where it’s just right.
