I was over there today and it looked like north of Lethbridge there was a long bank of dark clouds hanging up there for most of the day. Did you guys get any rain?

Just a sprinkle to muck up the windows Doug.

Maybe the rain gods are waiting for you to finish!

If everything continues to hold together we should be done planting corn late tonight.

Corn planting finished up at a decent hour. Finished corn planting 2013 at 9:20pm.

Socked in 2077 acres in a week. Everything went fairly well.

Now time for beans

Rainfall warning for the Pincher Creek area with up to 90mm in the next couple of days.

Might be a little wet!

 

[ferniesnow]

I sure hope my farmer friends in southern Alberta are getting some of this monsoon........holy crap it is raining!

 

[ferniesnow]

I will report on the rain gauge in the morning. It will be pretty good.

 

[bdietz]

just wondering how many auto-steering outfits ran over something this spring like power poles gas wells or what have you
there must be some way of incorporating an obstacle avoidance into the gps system

5 gas wells were run over in alberta on the weekend and someday somebody is gona get killed
I have put 1000s of hours on farm equipment and it is something t o think about

never had a gps incident but did snag a windmill once with a trailing packer bar just had to get as much dirt as I could

Hit a pivot point with the cultivator. No major damage though. I don't understand how people run over chit like that.

Ken may get a little in the next couple of days as long as this system reaches far enough east. Seems all the alerts/warnings are tucked up against the foothills/eastern slope.

Alerts: M.D. of Foothills near High River and Aldersyde - The Weather Network
