How Dry Is it?

Bucket..........
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.

It’s so dry here I might even convince a few locals I have nice soil!
Haven’t had conditions this nice for close to 20 years. Will need rain eventually.

The took all that rain away already.
Farmzone still has 6 days of raindrops. See how long that lasts.

Forty mm in our forecast from May 18 - May 25, I’m writing down the rain forecast every day now to see if the keep pushing the rain ahead. We’re seeding in a field today that received enough rain in yesterday’s thunderstorm to bring the moisture right thru the dry, changed our seeding depth this morning to 1/2” for the next 4 quarters and will be back at a inch after that until I’m more confident on the rain forecast.

Looks like the old Hoar frost myth falls on its face again!
If I remember right December had a lot of different hoar frosts?

We are so dry we are farting dust here. Missed the real big snows earlier and not a drop of rain this spring.Pasture and hay very poor and all sloughs dried out.

It used to be the sloughs were the back up plan for hay shortages. Today they are all dry, being farmed.
