Weather network has sunny and plus 2 right now for here yet it has been heavy drizzle and wet highways for 2 hours? And no moisture in sight on their weather radar? How will we know if good weather comes if even they don't know?

We finished our canola on Saturday night. Put the bin fans on. But here’s a nice little find I got at an auction sale, working on drainage in the yard. Didn’t run, flat tire, worn out blades, bad ujoints everywhere lol.

Johnny H I remember you saying you subscribe to some weather service from somewhere across the pond that is supposed to be super accurate compared to our local services? What is that service saying about our southern Alberta fall and if this weather is gonna bugger off for awhile?

That was a couple years back I think. We've just accepted that we are in a drought now so we stopped paying for it. But it was the Drew Learner one I think.
How many acres do you have left Ken?

I see Jason Kenney is reporting today that farmers are paying 63% carbon tax using grain dryers in this difficult harvest. That's a lot of coin. Gotta love the dippers.
