What’s in the June 21 st rain gauge

[Sodbuster]

Just looked at my crops, longest day of the year and full of 1 leaf cereal crop patches.

You’re not alone this year, many crops this year in the NE of SK are experiencing multiple stages of growth in canola and cereals. Thank god for pod shatter varieties this year, hopefully the frost stays away for a while this fall.

Highest rain totals I see in west Sask are 96 mm by Louseland
lots in the 50-60’s by Wilkie
we ended up at 23 mm

Nothing so far.

Nothing so far.

Hard to comprehend it’s still that dry in the NE .
it’s tough to put all the planning , seeding and time in to do everything the best one can only to watch rains disappear or never even develop
Been there and it’s a sick feeling
Hopefully something materializes asap for that whole area
Are your crop insurance levels decent Tone ?
our coverages are now the lowest in many years so hopefully July is not as cruel as last year for us

3/4 of an inch since yesterday! It will help , but we need a lot more to make any crops amount to something , but very thankful.

Take care all!

2/10’s here that won’t help much.
Weak spindly wheat fields that are patchy aren’t going to yield much!
There’s still hope for canola but it’s going to need rain soon to amount to much.

We received 3/4” of rain, will definitely perk up the crops.

5th leaf of cereals determine yield, everything after that has to be favourable to reach that potential. Having said that, the heads coming out so far on the early crops are only an inch long which means the yield potential is very low. I don't know if those that work for government with degrees understand there is a wreck coming.

And it is going to be a large one. Meanwhile politicians are all on holidays for 12 weeks.

Back in the day when Politicians actually worked , a guy like Grant Devine didn't mince words with guys like Mulroney ( not that he was a push over ) . And they certainly didn't ignore the issue.

8/10th here. Very thankful, nice slow soak.

It looks like a hot week in forecast, that heat and all the moisture around could cause some thunder boomers.
