Well finally a warm week and snow are starting to really go but some back roads still are plugged and 100 ft out on tree lines still 6 ft of snow.
Dugouts didn't need to be pumped this year which was nice to see and the spillway actually was used.
Total rain for April was only 4/10 but the rest was from last fall's hail storm and rain events plus the snow. South of us it turns dryer and West.
Crop Report.
I'm not seeding yet as we're in no shape to be going but since the dryer South and Westside is going I will call it 3% of the crop is in. People I know at Indian Head started at Noon yesterday and Regina few were going even though one farm headed with three drills to do the Reserve north of them. Most I follow on Twitter or Facebook are starting to seed from Swift to Battleford. Alberta as a note lots are going but a big dry area from last year is still in place. Someone wrote in a paper Manitboa to wet Alberta to dry and Sask. just right. That's a crock of shit. Sask is half/half like milk, Eastside is wet West is Dry.
The last of the seed is getting cleaned and plans are still adjusting up till the drills go into the ground.
All Canola chem for it plus inoculant in case we grow peas are all ready to go. No fert. Shortage since all is home and Anhydrous looks to be having zero issues with supply. If you wait they are going to screw you this spring. South America is growing way more soy next year due to fertilizer prices.
India said a few weeks ago no problem we will fill the void with wheat that Ukraine and Russia cant, just got bitch slapped by mother nature and have a real bad drought. Note real bad.
Most farmers I would say are ready and Monday will be a starting point in our area. Some fields will get seeded later due to no access by roads thanks to the snow.
So be safe have a great seeding event and were praying for rain for the west side.
Drew and other USA forecasters were calling for the pattern to start changing but once a system is in place its sure hard to move.
