Friday Crop Report on a Thursday!

[GALAXIE500]

I love the forecasts out of Regina. Rain is always 7 days out then about day 4 it just disappears. Goes from 70% to nothing.

A blocking ridge of high over us is worrysome.

Drought continues.

oh, the Big Canola Belt of Maple creek will get up to an inch of rain so that's good.

Whether we get the rain forecasted remains to be seen. Wind already at 6 am ( SE) and the more they forecast rain , the less chance we get it. Sorry for the rant , tired of wind.

Not even a courtesy spit here.

Does the financial concept of ROI exist in you economic belief system Chuck?

As in, you invest 28 hours per week(morning shift only, 7 days per week) trying to win converts to your beliefs.
As a result of your efforts, every week, 2 members put you on ignore, and 1 leaves in disgust, shrinking your audience of potential victims by 3.
Is that negative ROI acceptable in your line of work, or do you folks measure the relative success or failure of an investment by some other metric, that isn't results based?

Very light on the original thought, more of a follower of whatever remotely socialist cause is the whim of the day.

Stupid dry here. Haven’t seen any moisture since snow left. It’s been dry like this before, and it’s still early enough. Be damned I’m getting in a hurry to seed as my crop plans are changing. Rain could come or it couldn’t. I’m thinking if it does it will be late may into June. Funny I cleaned enough barley and oats for myself to seed the whole farm. I can take back the $700+ canola seed. I remember 2002 doing the same thing and baling whatever grew to pull the cows through. Canola can be $40 or $100 but doesn’t matter if you don’t get rain to grow it. My biggest thing is I have all my fertilizer sitting in the bins and kinda wonder do I apply what is needed for what moisture is expected and carry rest over or do I put it all down? I’m close to writing this year off and getting a job to pull through.

Sun shining and zero sign of rain but we sure have a very cold SE wind that’s interesting. The high pressure over is is keeping any storm out so we seed and loll to the sky for rain.

If you think the SE wind is cold try the NE one that blows here every day! Temp is creeping up a little today and might take off the coveralls but keep the jacket.

Doesn't the wicked witch live in the NE?
