How Dry Is it?

You can make mud balls in pretty much every field, gonna need some rain in awhile but we have good moisture to kick things off.

That was from a field of barley down 5 days ago.

The 3-day rain that was forecast for us next week, completely gone this morning. Same as what happened to the rain we were supposed to get this week. The weatherman is doing that carrot thing again, the rain is always just outta reach.

Good rain always in the forecast, but never materializes.

Could be a summer of continuous carrot face bruises.

rain back in for the 24th...

Now for my off topic rant.

How do climate people believe the science of 50 year out predictions when the weatherman can't predict yesterday's weather or something with any degree of accuracy a week out.

I think of weather, climate etc as having the ability to adjust accordingly to fix itself...
When you look at the power of a windstorm or volcano or forest fires etc....all natural occurring events, man can't match the power of nature ...not sure why we think we can control it. Its an untamed beast.

Ma Nature is completely in control and we’re just along for the ride. Make the best of it and enjoy. Hopefully we all get the sun and rain required to play the game another year🍀

This barley is gonna be going in a little dry.......... last year it was too wet to seed and the year before it was poplar trees. Fun times.......

Hit the lottery got rained out today just before supper, about 1/4” almost made it thru the old moisture. Hoping for another tenth or so overnight but doubtful, will continue to put canola in at just over a 1”, would of liked a bit more rain to lower our depth to a half inch, still better than nothing.

Something changed in the pattern in the last few days. Brutal winds, cold nights have stopped. Blocking high moving on? Letting some moisture in? Hope so.

Subsoil moisture has been decent to seed into, but it has dried out fast after disturbance. That april snow was a savior. I caught a lucky 3/10s on one canola field.
