Sorry Furrow, that must be terrible. I wouldn’t feel safe living where you live because you never know if they are lurking. You won’t believe this but where we live in the city, we’ve had our car cleaned out 5 times, even in our locked garage. Now we have a wee that turns off the power to the garage and even if they have a code that will open our big door, it won’t open. Seems ok so far with fence and gate screwed shut. Seems one particular group was targeting many cars and garages. So you are not alone. Safety is not concerning for us, really but now we are alarmed and camerad, weed and ready. 😉
Prepared and turn off power to garage. Gonna move soon. Maybe to old folks home😂

We have a great group of neighbours here
We keep an eye out constantly and keep in touch with our local rural RCMP . It helps a lot but always need to be looking over our shoulders so to speak

That farming by the sweet spot in the valley and Indian Head is a dream.

You can slip off a 100 bushel crop and be down on the lake by night time.

Geez Jazz, I can be at Echo in 25 minutes. Yesterday, she was pristine.

That's right good water flow into the chain lakes this year. No algae, levels up, water looks clean beaches nice. A guy can watch the radar from his boat. Farma probably has a yacht anchored down there.

No yachts here, but I do have a dinghy that doesn't hold air.

.....and I do have a couple of land yachts.....Buicks

Been at Echo camping, yes very nice. Such a change from the farm. Beautiful this year.

Re the crime/thieves, so far in my 67 years, NOTHING has happened here. Our grid is on the way to Saskatoon for many people. We are naïve to risk/crime, but still lock up stuff if away just to remove the temptation.

Crops here are so bad in places you can’t tell if they were seeded or not. Rain continued this week - now at 24.7 inches since May 1. Roof ripped off the local Coop last night. 2020 will certainly not be forget any time soon

Wow ABfarm, that is a stupid amount of rain. After I read your post I checked our running total starting April 1.
Basically got 4 inches, but alot of it came in under a tenth or two tenths of an inch amounts at a time. We started out with good moisture reserves but a dry spell during and after seeding had crops looking stressed.

We don't need a pile of rain to grow a decent crop, timing of limited amounts is important though. Wish we could get one more inch to finish it off, we missed what Regina got last night.

I don't think it would help the peas much anymore but the wheat, canola and flax would benefit. Even if we don't get a rain before its too late for the whole crop it still looks better than it did before it finally started to rain.

So I guess it could be worse, in more than one way.
