    This was yesterday on Worked last fall ground vs stubble.

    I would say its a little early plus mud in field to get to dry spot and water still running as last of the snow goes away.

    Snow geese arrived yesterday.

        Snow geese are here too helping out with spring harvest. Some quarters look about half done already

            In general seeding moves from the Brown to the Gray soil zones - starting roughly the last week of April and finishing up in early June.

              There will likely be corn and small grains going in within 14-17 days here. I prefer not to start until the last week in April on our ground. Plant as much corn as there is ground ready, switch to soybeans and come back to corn when it's done. Have to wait to get the nod from the company agronomist to plant azukis, usually about May 20

                  Oh, ho, azukis, the friendly bean! Plant them once and they don't want to leave you!

                  I grew them once over 10 years ago, grew hay in that field for several years since, had corn and soys rotated after that, and a few odd volunteer azukis still kept showing up in the corn until a couple of years ago.

                  Is HDC out your way as well, dalek? They have a push on for azuki acres here this year.

                        mallee.... the green shaded area to the north-north east is called the Canadian Shield....large areas of exposed bedrock and lakes and forest covering it. Maybe some arctic tundra in the furthest reaches crossing into the Territories(????). The south west green strip is the Rocky Mountains. Canada has a very diverse landscape.

                          I've always thought late Easter brings late seeding. Besides, it's very wet so that alone could mean a late start.
