<p>It is so wet here that the shale roads I built to get around and
feed in the winter are getting worn out from the cows using them
to stay out of the mud. The slopes in the pasture spray water
when run across with the 4 wheeler. I have installed drainpipes
on some sloes just to keep my roadways reasonable dry. We had 4
inches of rain in 24 hrs yesterday. The North Canadian River is
out of banks near Yukon. I drove by yesterday when the highway was
opened. I have never seen the river out as far as it was. We are
having historical floods here....<br>

<p>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.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>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.
