Major Flooding MB.

[00:00:00]Hey guys, happy Canada Day. It is July 1st here today. I apologize about my voice. I'm recovering from the bubonic plague, I'm pretty sure.

[00:00:09]Uh we saw this rain coming in the forecast. Uh we're out in Manitoba and uh I did a 61-hour stint in the sprayer straight to try to get as much spraying done as humanly possible. I run myself down, obviously, and got myself quite sick. It was to be expected, but it was worth it.

[00:00:29]So, major flooding in Manitoba.

[00:00:33]Major flooding.

[00:00:35]Like I'll see if I can't insert a clip or two here from some locals. Uh Okay, wow.

[00:01:55]You can see that the water level is here. This This particular road uh it's got a lot of bridges on it. Washed out all the bridges.

[00:02:02]Um it ran up over the road. Not here right here, but just up there a little ways.

[00:02:07]This whole field, which is ours, was completely laying in water.

[00:02:12]Still is laying in water.

[00:02:16]Like the whole field.

[00:02:19]We definitely have major flooding. It's not just a little bit of flooding, it's major flooding.

[00:02:23]Lost a lot of ground.

[00:02:25]How much is going to come back? I'm not sure. I think we got around uh 6 and 1/2 in.

[00:02:33]In like a 24-hour time.

[00:02:35]So, all the creeks, the rivers are all running full.

[00:02:39]Uh and uh devastated the land.

[00:02:45]Uh we got a couple uh houses here, yard sites, uh that have 5 ft of water in their basements.

[00:02:51]We're just working on pumping that out right now.

[00:02:54]We're just going to push them um we're just going to push them down.

[00:02:58]But, yeah. Let's go on a tour here.

[00:03:01]Obviously, we're not walking out and looking at anything, but see what else we can find.

[00:03:06]Obviously, uh there's going to be a lot of sitting water.

[00:03:10]That was all seeded with a drill.

[00:03:21]Yep.

[00:03:45]Everything's going to be very waterlogged right now.

[00:03:51]The north farm got like 4 in so we're too wet over there as well to be quite honest with you.

[00:03:57]The south and west farm are sitting really good. They got like two and two and a half inches or something.

[00:04:03]But we're sitting really good.

[00:04:05]There's the water run too.

[00:04:08]Can't tell but it's all brown in here.

[00:04:09]That's where the water was literally running across the field.

[00:04:14]Ha.

[00:04:15]We came here and the water's already ran.

[00:04:18]Those clips is when the water was running.

[00:04:24]Oh yeah, look at that cut in the field.

[00:04:29]Look at that. That's new.

[00:04:31]That's new.

[00:04:40]Not going to want to hit that with uh anything, I guess.

[00:04:54]That kind of laid in water hence why it's all brown.

[00:05:04]Obviously it ran over the road up here.

[00:05:11]Oh it's oops.

[00:05:15]Woah.

[00:05:19]Oh, that's new. Hold on.

[00:05:23]Look at that, eh?

[00:05:27]That's a new cut.

[00:05:28]That wasn't there before.

[00:05:30]That is a whopping amount of topsoil.

[00:05:35]Yeah, obviously it cleared right over the road like fortunate didn't take this road out.

[00:05:41]Holy smokes.

[00:05:43]Holy smokers.

[00:05:48]Well, that combine coming up over that.

[00:05:51]Buried in a dump site.

[00:05:54]Crazy.

[00:05:57]This is the only way up because uh all the bridges are washed out. So, oh, never mind. This woohoo!

[00:06:07]Okay.

[00:06:11]Look at that.

[00:06:13]This is the only way up.

[00:06:16]Ripped up all these culverts.

[00:06:18]Is that not wild or what?

[00:06:22]Holy smokes.

[00:06:39]Yeah, I guess this is the only way up those. Oh.

[00:06:48]How am I going to get across this, you guys?

[00:06:51]This seems pretty solid.

[00:06:57]You know a lot of water hit that wind cuz the water's coming this way.

[00:07:01]Huh. Okay, I got to try and figure out how I'm going to cross this.

[00:07:07]Yeah.

[00:07:09]Yeah, okay.

[00:07:10]It's not sketchy at all.

[00:07:12]I changed my mind. We're not going to cross.

[00:07:14]We're not going to cross. I don't need to go up there and look at those fields, I bet. So.

[00:07:20]It's going to s- That sucks, though.

[00:07:24]That sucks. We'll turn around and find some southern fields.

[00:07:29]I'm just trying to get to the other part of the farm.

[00:07:32]All the roads are washed out.

[00:07:36]Apparently, this one is, too.

[00:07:39]Holy smokes.

[00:07:41]I could put my pickup truck in there.

[00:07:44]There's the culvert.

[00:07:46]Tell me the water came down fast without telling me the water came down fast.

[00:07:50]Holy smokes. It's going to be a short video guys we can't even see half the farm, not even half.

[00:07:56]This is wild.

[00:08:06]That's crazy.

[00:08:15]This is going to be a ton of cleanup and road repairs. Holy smokes.

[00:08:24]Wow.

[00:08:26]Okay, well I guess that's pretty much it. I don't know how we're going to get to the other side of the farm. Smokes we found a field that's not flooded.

[00:08:34]Oh.

[00:08:43]I already sprayed this one time over with glue.

[00:08:47]Another whole crop coming.

[00:08:48]Gosh.

[00:08:50]We We inherited some some dirty ground.

[00:08:54]This is canola.

[00:08:55]It's looking pretty good.

[00:09:00]Right there looks like there is some grasses coming.

[00:09:03]Yep.

[00:09:04]Yep.

[00:09:08]Dang.

[00:09:09]This is going to have to get hit again but shoot.

[00:09:17]I remember when we sprayed Actually I think I can't remember if you guys were with me. I think you were with me when we sprayed this field the first time over.

[00:09:25]It was pretty thick.

[00:09:27]We got a really good kill.

[00:09:30]But we got another flush coming.

[00:09:32]I don't know when we're going to have we're going to have time to do that because we haven't finished the the first time over on the rest of it.

[00:09:42]Dang.

[00:09:45]But, this looks nice.

[00:09:48]Other than some grass is coming. Few yellow areas in the low spots there, you know. Going to need a little lacking on some oxygen, but this is good.

[00:09:56]This is good.

[00:09:58]These big fat leaves could use some foliar.

[00:10:02]Oh, yeah. It'd love that. It'd take that right in.

[00:10:07]Need a grassy herbicide. Take out these oats.

[00:10:13]And then let the disease fungicide spraying start after we're done herbicides.

[00:10:18]But, that looks really nice.

[00:10:21]Okay.

[00:10:23]Well, it doesn't look like we're getting up this way.

[00:10:32]Let's go walk in and take a peek-see.

[00:10:36]Well, I see.

[00:10:51]I see.

[00:10:55]Well, this was the last route. So, uh It's pretty crazy.

[00:11:08]It's pretty crazy.

[00:11:19]Oh, there's going to be extensive cleanup work.

[00:11:23]Going to be expensive to fix all this stuff.

[00:11:29]Okay. Well, I got to go back.

[00:11:36]See the fam jam.

[00:11:38]We're out at the park out here.

[00:11:40]So, uh about an hour or so away.

[00:11:43]What is it called? Uh we're out at Riding Mountain.

[00:11:48]Which is south of Dauphin.

[00:11:49]So, I'm going to head back.

[00:11:52]Won't be spraying for a little while.

[00:11:55]Won't be able to get the sprayer around for a little while.

[00:11:58]Can't get to the fields for a little while.

[00:12:02]We're going to get behind spraying.

[00:12:06]Like like a lot.

[00:12:10]Can't bring planes in to do herbicide like glufosinate or you know, you put your or fluroxypyr and dicamba and stuff like that.

[00:12:19]So many trees like that's very If you had nice big wide open square fields, maybe you could, but Fungicide, yes.

[00:12:28]But, that's about all there is.

[00:12:31]So, I guess I will uh I'll keep you guys updated. Catch you on the flip side.

[00:12:41]I can't remember if I told you, but the north farm got quite a bit of rain, too. Lots of flooding up there, too. Not to this extensive amount of damage, but I can't even get all the way back. I still got to jog around a bunch to try to find my route route back down to the highway.

[00:12:59]Cuz just about every low spot is washed out.

[00:13:03]It's cool.

[00:13:05]It's kind of concerning how cool it is.

[00:13:07]K.

[00:13:08]I'll catch you guys on the flipper.

[00:13:09]Adios.

[00:13:10]Bad time when you're trying to get to the farm, but they put a road closed sign over there because the bridge has been compromised.

[00:13:17]It's a little wiggly.

[00:13:21]Like there is some holes in the asphalt up there, but can't worry about the little things.

[00:13:31]Like I'm sure it'll hold me.

[00:13:34]Right?

[00:13:36]Oh, I can hear it. I can feel it.

[00:13:42]I'm sure it'll be fine.
