Most of Saskatchewan is at extreme fire risk now due to a dry spring. 
After a dry winter and dry last year. Nothing but East wind and no rain. 
Cool too so not much is growing. Crop planting is near completion in 
this area. I've got about 80 acres of oats to do before I park the air 
seeder. Spring wheat in the ground for 10 days or more and I still can't 
see it from the road.

On the upside we have gained back a few acres that were flooded out in 
the wet years. Some video here of my brother tandem disking some oat 
stubble with the 830 Case this past weekend.
