Wow! You Manitoba guys are getting a lot of moisture. It's generally not too bad at this time of year getting that kind of moisture because the crops are big enough that they use a fair bit of water each week, but when they are behind and struggling, every rain just makes it worse. Our forecast for the next week (after a bit of rain tomorrow) is for a warm/hot dry sunny week. Hopefully this weather pattern makes it over to your province soon.

Went for a drive, about what I expected. Looks like spring runoff, ran over the road in a couple places but that’s nothing new anymore with all the drainage that’s gone on upstream. Cloudy and raining again and about 15 degrees. Much of the crop in this area has lost 3-4 weeks of growing conditions, and it shows. Have one quarter of canola I would think 30-40 % is drowned right out and some other fields will be there soon enough.
If I remember correctly, the forecast for last night was a 60% chance of showers. I think Environment Canada, like the CBC, should have all funding cut. They still keep pushing the hot dry summer with fires. My brother said Environment Canada blocked all comments on Twitter yesterday because people were raking them through the coals.

1.5 inches total on the long weekend. Lots of areas got hit with 3 or more inches. Wondering if we will see some market moves from the Missouri river flooding and Sw Minnesota? With only one 30 c day our beans are way behind . I can’t believe how far behind they are compared to sunflowers .
I know we escaped the three inches but that three inches is rushing to the red river . I noticed our ditches are right full from all the water from out west. that impedes our drainage . I think one of my riverlots will have 5 feet of water on 25 acres soon . Also we get hit from down south as well . So even though 1.5 is not bad we still get screwed !! Least the oats and canola are big enough to use up some water

We're at just over 2.5in for the long weekend, creeks are pretty full and some decent puddles in the fields. Other than for the beans I've really been liking this cooler year, wheat is pushing out 4-5 full size healthy tillers per plant and we already seed quite heavy. Thick canopy that is just sitting there pushing out massive flag leaves on all stems taking it's time before it gets into boot stage. Canola is sitting in the 3-5 leaf stage cabbaging nicely rather than jumping from 2 leaf to bolting in 5 days like the last few hot/dry years. If this continues we should have a nice long bloom period, rather than the flowers roasting off in 7-10 days.

It’s a strange year . Wouldn’t say we have had too much rain but yet , here we are ! Morris area had a high water warning out caused by all the runoff water rushing in from all the small creeks and rivers from out west . Not a great situation .

I am thinking it went mostly East of us, just a nice rain, not much accumulation so far. Nice being a relative term.

Mostly missed us, we got the “nice “ rain as well, not much but huge drops coming straight down, expected it to hail but didn’t really, a few small ones. Probably rained just enough to make me redo the one round I made in the canola.

Which one were you hoping for cptusa? Probably somewhere in between I'm guessing.

I'm good. We're a out as ideal as you can get this year. It's wet enough, we sure don't need more moisture right now.

The Northern portion of that group of storms hit us around 10pm. Half inch. You could smell the arcing, there was so much lightning. Only have around 1300 bales worth of hay in swaths, ha. Crops here needed that moisture though.

Got another 1/4” last night. I don’t feel bad with only 2-300 bales of hay in swath. Had some ready to rake today and bale tonight but I guess it will wait. Might go to the lake today sit on a friends boat.
