If our 2 week forecast is anywhere close to right looks like tommorow is the last day of harvesting in it. Combined oats till 5am before the rain 2 days ago which I'm pretty sure is the latest I've ever gone.

Got 4" rain here yesterday and last night. Bean harvest should be fun now when it starts in a week or so.

Got 4" rain here yesterday and last night. Bean harvest should be fun now when it starts in a week or so. Reminds me of 2019 ! This week could get wetter before dryer ! I am afraid to look at rain gage this morning ! I thought south of Morris angled to steinbach got the most rain . I am 7 miles due north of Morris . Ditching might be over now ! I did get 8 full days in with my new Ashland scrapper . Some of the best money I spent in a while ! My employee loved it and it was hard to keep him out of the tractor ! But it is a tiring job and hard on your neck !! I needed three good days to make the years payment on it . So I felt like I am ahead . The custom guy was weeks away from my booking . 8 days of custom ditching would cost close to 30 grand . I feel hiring a custom ditcher is never as good as you doing the work . Only you and your employees know your land best ! I hope we can get back draining after the bean harvest . Dragging leaves and soil will be a challenge now ! Least my beans are not ready yet . I hope no hail hit them either . Up until yesterday weatherbet only showed 3/4 inch ! Man that is way off of 4 inches Least our soil was thirsty ! |

That is pretty sad to see. I am one of the few who would rather it be too dry than too wet here. I got very tired of farming in mud and around sloughs a few years back. Probably get same bushels off a quarter of land when it is abnormally dry then when abnormally wet, and much less stress. And when too dry it can all change by next week.
I was worried when our long range forecast had us at 2" of rain, would never thought I would hear places getting 3,4, 8" of rain in late September. Definitely been humid for harvest, not raining much here though, just humid. Seems everyone quit paying attention to what fog means about future precipitation in 30, 60, 90 days. Been lots of fog this year, even into September.
All in all the signs are lots of moisture in the atmosphere. Where and when it lands is not something being forecasted very well.

 lots of land like this not far east of farm . This is near st Pierre . Some canola swathes are under water by st Pierre . I can’t see any hail damage on my beans. One reason to buy a drone I guess ! |

I wouldn't call it 2019, rain dries up way faster than a couple feet of snow. Hopefully that's the last of the precip for a long while and you guys can get back going without a mess. Hopefully I don't trigger some PTSD with the 2019 pics!     A heavy multi-inch rain on September 20, 2019 was how it started though. Then it got pretty nice and another storm Sept 24 or 25 hit with a bunch of hail. Then the snow came October 10. Oct 21 is when our tracks for the combine came in and we started making a mess on Oct 23. Sept 19 until October 23 we never turned a wheel. After that was nothing but a mess of mud, frost, snow and ice until we finished harvest on November 16, then helped some neighbors due to a grain dryer burning and a combine having a catastrophic failure. Parked the combine the day the Bombers won the grey cup, November 24. Not to mention the red river flooded like it was the spring that fall. Man that was a bad one. |

In 2019 we waited until it froze and then harvested our soybeans. A couple nights we started at 2am and combined until 6 am. Then we tried to get the last 100 acres of wheat I was swathing to knock the snow off. Left 40 acres got it in the spring. Glad it was in a swath any standing over wintered wheat was just burnt off
