    Have u checked your subsoil moisture?

    Southeast Alberta dryland has absolutely nothing on wheat stubble or lentil stubble. Screw type probe and the dirt just falls out. No moisture whatsoever. Never has it been this dry since we started probing the soil.

      After this years completely later once in a lifetime win , be great full . Anyone with even average yields. Be extremely grateful. It may never happen again in your kid’s lifetime....... the ag industry will make sure of that .

      Not hitting anyone , but certain pockets that actually get their crop , this is a once in a lifetime 👍👍
      For the other 95% , it’s a nightmare without insurance in play

        5 inches plus since mid-august and three inches was a slow soaker. had a half the other day. Got stuck yesterday with the sprayer. If we get another two to three before spring in total moisture we will be back at 2019 levels.

          4 inches. Getting better. Wet down a few feet now. A few more inches and it becomes tougher to get around for a few days. Be nice if those last few inches would hold off til end of September.
          Furrow I think the market had already decided canolas gonna hang around twenty bucks. The market doesn’t seem to wanna move much either way. In my opinion it shud be moving up slowly all the time based on these yields and world stocks.

                What is subsoil moisture? Haven't had any since late June when the crops tried to crawl back into the ground!
