Is the whole province at a standstill or just us on the east side? Getting dicey now. A couple rains away from June already. That shortage of inputs might be solving itself.

West man is going a bit.

Interlake would be 5 days no rain from going on high land.

Gonna be broadcasting this year I think.

Swan River Valley will be starting to rock and roll this week.

 

[Haystack]

We have 850 acres in. It was likely only possible with a heavy four track tractor, high flotation disc drill and a four track air cart. We need a few hours of sunshine to get going again. So far we haven’t had the tractor stuck but had to pull the seed truck into position twice.

And it it currently raining in Winnipeg. Heard it will be close to an inch, but also heard might get closer to 2. Water going over hwy 75 this morning. Cant see the valley going before June.

What is this wet stuff you speak of?

 

[KpprCrk]

0.2" in the last 2 rains, maybe 0.4" in the last wet snow. Too bad we caan't average out, I've been too wet before and it isn't fun when grain farming. With grass and cattle I would be smiling.

Guys around here losing a bunch of animals right now, cowboys can't catch a break the last 5 years.

From too much rain?

Neighbour was planting corn on Saturday. Started on a higher ridge and worked his way to the sides. Managed to get er done. Headlands don’t look bad either but corn requires less heavy equipment.wouldn’t like to have been dragging a disc drill thru the low spots.

Yeah rain and the snow storms in april. Colorado low each week for the last 5 weeks. Flooding/washed out roads and crossings. Cows calving in standing water, calves getting cold/sick and dying, guys feeding green canola silage because they have nothing else and the nitrates taking out the young/old cows etc.

We have pretty rolly land, cows can still find a low, wet spot to have their calves. 10 feet from a good bedding pack.

As they say: " If you don't have them, you won't lose them"

 

[NVW]

Or as another neighbour says: " Cows will look 365 days of the year" to "Find a way to die"

Ya central sask here got another dump of rain and more coming ,another week to dry before seeding ,going to turn into a **** show soon ,stupid weather.

 

[Don Boles]

Just did a Toon to Regina trip, water standing where none did last year in the last 1/3 of the trip I’ll bet.

 

[fjlip]

2.5" in May, was never dry enough before, with 3' of snow and cold slow melt. 1.5+" forecast May 13-14, ZERO happening before May 20 if this comes to pass. Just like that NO drought here, a 180 degree opposite of 2021. Seeding was finished May 17, super dry dusty.

 

[wetfarmer]

Looks like another setback Thursday here. Hard on the guts with these prices and the big rush we had to get expensive inputs on farm.

Well I hope so. There had been zero water in the fields the last 2 years. Still seeding thru sloughs that should normally have water in them.

 

[mauryj]

Well we are looking for a classic Idaho low !! 2 day soaker!! like old weather man Bill from Edmonton used to get excited about!! And I had to seed around 2 slus !!!! wa hoo! got some mud on packers!!
