Hail Storm Hit The Farm

[@gavinperry7237]

It is really unfortunate how quickly the harvest hopes can be ruined by a sudden hail storm.

@@gavinperry7237 the system is F..ked as a farmer, you have to presell your crops for fall delivery, if it hails, and can’t deliver, you pay a penalty, no act of God like they have in merica

Night of Aug 22. We got hail like that too. It came down for 15 min straight.
Combined full quarter of canola. Didn’t get a truck load.

It's heartbreaking to see. So sorry for your loss. I know what it's like

[@sparklingtones2472]

Holy crow, you guys got pounded in some places. That's just the wrong tome of year for that to happen. Hope you can still salvage as much as possible.

[@randykrochak1185]

Had the same thing happen to me first year farming, canola in swathes, wheat ready to cut, 100% hailed out.

[@wallyyuriy8912]

I was wondering if canola in a swath be ok. Vs standing in a hail

[@randykrochak1185]

@@wallyyuriy8912 if it’s dry, both just as bad. Mine was in swath, after hail, black under swath with canola.

Yes, it sucks, but that is why we have hail insurance. Hopefully your damage isn't too wide spread.

[@dustinbezugly]

Like my dad said, never had hail here in 40 years

[@smokeyacres329]

How wide spread was the hail? Did all your land get a touch?

[@dustinbezugly]

It was wide spread but we just caught the edge. Touched 700 of ours

[@laurisdemons]

why u didnt show the hail storm?

[@darrellmilne6877]

Hail storms track erratically seen them lift and split around sloughs and lift and drop, why I never found a good answer. Areas that never had much hail in fifty years would then be hailed out completely 3 years out of 4

[@antapaan6580]

Sad to see, hope you have a good insurance.

So close to being in the bin.
