It's been raining dang near non stop for two weeks up here in northern Alberta. It's starting to harm some of the crops! The hay crops are doing awsome but the only problem is that it's gonna be to wet to get the hay off. Just cant win!
 
Well Lyle , I thought we where getting a lot of rain, but sounds like you have us beat. Just finished first cut haylage today, forcast is for rain tomorow . Hope to start big round wet wrapped bales next week. any day it don't rain , you have to run like h@ll. Bruce
 
Wish you'd keep it up there. I've still got about 60 acres to cut, about 20 down to do tomorrow and now they're calling for showers again tomorrow. Hope it holds off until evening.....
 
Yea Lyle, we're getting lots around Edmonton too. I
didn't think it could get worse than last year but
if it keeps up it will be. It sucks!
 
I know what you mean. 3 inches at our place near Saskatoon in the past day and a half, plus that much again the past week. Some of our grass hay is lodged from the combination of moisture and wind. First time I have had that problem.
 
Sounds like Michigan. Our area got almost no rain all last summer and when it was time to harvest our crops it started raining and really hasn't stopped since. It was wet harvesting, wet all winter, wet all spring and now it's still raining about every other day. We have a bunch of crops sitting in water already and now tonight we have to endure another batch of this miserable chit going over again. Sometimes I ask myself if there are ANY places left in the US that are actually nice. Michigan is sure a dandy place if you want to be broke, depressed and pay high property taxes and insurance rates and gas prices. What a frikking nightmare this area is.

Dave, you didn't mention the other feature of Michigan is that when you go to the store it is though you took a wrong turn and ended up in Somalia, Bangladesh, or Cairo.
 
Had an Old farmer tell me once "A dry year will worry you a wet year will starve you." Hay here in N Pa is quickly going past prime. Maybe this week get it done.
 
Cut a field of hay almost a week ago. Thought it might ba able to bale today, maybe tomorrow. Especially since we got lucky and missed the rain yesterday. GOT OVER HALF AN INCH LAST NIGHT!! Oh well, back to square one.
 
Sounds like NY Dave. We just finished 2 days without rain. Now the clouds are dark and wet looking and the hay is heading out.

Oh well....
 
On that doppler weather map, I am by the "E" in Detroit. Lots of rain here, but on my sandy soil, its no problem.
 
We received a few inches yesterday and this morning..20 miles south of me received 11 inches in a 4 hour period yesterday..flooding galore..im in the mindset since i have1stcut done, that it can rain all it wants. I know many others are still waiting to get in the field..we had a perfect 5 days this week for making hay and everywhere i traveled there were tractors in the fields.
 
I'm about 1 inch above the D in detroit. I think the people down there got hit even harder by all that red on the radar. We ended up only getting 3 tenths so it pretty much skirted us this time. The wednsday night storm dumped over an inch on us on already soaked ground. That one was not fun. And people south of us got 4-5 inches that night. That had to be awful if you were in the low areas.
 
I'm about 1/4" west of the "T" in Toledo on the map. We got 0.3", not really a problem. Supposed to have three dry days now.
