    Kansas fires

    Not a peep in the media about the Kansas fires over 350000 acres burnt 100s of houses and buildings lost over a 1000 cattle burned big disaster over there.

    All of the eco terrorists who want to ban glyphosate should be forced to go and stand i the middle of one of these dust storms.
    I realize that most of this area is already no till and using cover crops, and that this weather system overwhelmed even that, but much of the northern prairies could have been a dust bowl this past year if not for no-till and the technologies that have enabled this.

      I saw lots of pic's on twitter of really rough or dead looking wheat from the dirt blast. We all know that winter wheat is tough and has 9 lives but unless they get a big dump of snow I would think this will be really hard to recover from. I guess time will tell.

        Just horrible.

        Hopefully will never have to go through something like that. The cows would be a tough loss as I don’t know anyone who runs insurance on them. I guess a foot or two of snow is good for something occasionally🍀

          Absolutely wild photos and videos of the wall of dirt that got kicked up!

                  Before panic strikes go watch the Dust Bowl documentary.

                    That's horrible and yes odd I wouldn't have heard about it without this thread.

                    It is just a plain miracle that something big like that didnt happen on the canadian prairies this summer with all the wind and heat and dry conditions.
