There was a drought due to climate change program last week on bluesky on CBC.
Les phoned in to give a dissenting opinion and a sientific explanation and they hung up on him.
Les had incomparable respect among his peers.
I try not to listen to CBC anymore but they do have past episodes available. May try to suffer thru that one.

No disenting opinions allowed. The science is settled even if the scientist don't agree.

With yesterday's rain I think we are now ahead of last year's total for May-Aug.

In the last 4 days we received 3.5” with no end in sight, no luck on the hail but at least we’re adding a bit of moisture for next year’s crop. I’m just hoping that all this moisture won’t start the canola stubble to green up and start flowering again, been there and done that in 2002. Sure could of used this weather pattern in early July.

Canola getting close to cutting now, nervous as hell about getting hail, even a small amount would put it all on the ground. Can't possibly insure canola at $20 plus per bushel unless you're growing less than 10bus/ac.
