More rain

[Anonymous-0]

It continues to be wet here in SW Manitoba. We are now reaching the point where a small shower makes puddles. A lot of years we are begging for rain at this time of year, this year we're worried about tan spot, leaf rust, septoria and fusarium in wheat and barley. Sclerotina in canola will be a sure thing. All curable, but at a cost. Oh well, my Father always said that he's seen a lot more people lose their farm because it was too dry than ever did because it's too wet.

Not much different up in our corner. Another 13.8 mm last night (We have a weather station for Environment Canada here, so I record precipitation on an accurate guage). Supposed to be more coming on Sunday. We have puddles on top of ridges and the sloughs are all full. Not all bad for us cattle guys, lots of pasture and, if we can get it, there will be a bumper crop of hay. Hope things dry out for you and you get a good crop.

I just wish you could send me about 19 inches a little at a time. I live in N.W. Alabama and it has rained about 1/16" in the last NINE weeks. My trees and grass are dying. Funny how the weeds are thriving!
