North of Edmonton all the way past Athabasca there is way more standing water than there was after spring melt.
Rewarer and Sturgeon overflowing banks and Athabasca river way up.
Lots of fields will not get seeded.
Saw two complete rigs with air drills attached buried to frames in field.
Feel sorry for all guys as after 3 crappy falls now lots will not even get to seed everything.

50-60,000lb for just the big tractors/ track units. Plus drill and cart. Which can vary depending on size but easily that again for drill/cart ++++

Nothing like last year had to spray everywtbing some fields twice. This year sprayed one quarter and looks like the rest the canola has grown quick enough to get past them but was looking pretty ****ty there i think they come in the bag with the canola, we have had helix and lumiderm and doesnt seem to matter

Your year is shaping up to what ours was the last 2 years. We have another 6/10's which brings us to 3.2" for the year so far at the home quarter. 2.5" total last year and the same the year before

We are to wet now, most in the area have had 5"+ in the past 3 weeks, lots of standing water in the ditches and fields. We need some warm summer weather for a few weeks.

They look good and a bit farther along than mine. You usually are done seeding before we even start up here fred. Lol. That is the reason they are behind.
