Rain All Around

[farmaholic]

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.

The Garden of Eden where SF3 farms....

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

Know the feeling.

I've notched it up to river basins around here, but being that you're in the riverless ghetto, that one really doesnt hold up. Here at least, eastbound storms have a hell of a time getting over the Red Deer river. It seems to sheer them apart, or steer them south.

Perhaps we should check our lineage... Descendants of the great parter of seas Moses?

In spite of all my fretting it always seems to work out in the end, it's the journey to the final destination that isn't much fun sometimes.

Maybe its time for this comment again: "farming isn't for the faint of heart or anyone who knows better"

Dandelions sure like this weather.

Not where preharvest Transorb was used or Prestige in wheat... near ZERO dandelions! Screwed up lots in 2019 but got that right?

Here comes RAIN farma...Enjoy the smell! We got a whopping 1/4 inch, maybe a start, it rains where it rains...humidity was 40% , so how could it even start to rain?

Well the heavier rains missed us but the Horsch was up to 8.2 mph to get done today.
Was on a good flat field , but she done ✅

2 tenths here. Maybe grass or SF3 can help me out? Was that a rain or a tinkle?
