Just curious as to how the earlier seeded crops are doing ?
The ground here freezing near solid on top every second morning yet .
-6 here again

Just got going yesterday so hopefully things will warm up a bit soon.

We just got going yesterday and hear lots of older guys will start around Monday. The ground freezes almost every night.

one field seeded two weeks ago across the valley has zero growth so far.

One larger outfit east of here has around 10,000 ac in so far . Not sure how that will turn out . May end up good who knows.
Just will be interesting to see what establishments will be like. There will be “germination” and seed treatment complaints most likely lol.
Long term forecasts at this time don’t show anything above 16c for the next 2 weeks . Hopefully that changes
April could go down as warmer than May .
As well , should warm up by the 20th or so by the looks of it 👍.

Ground here to well insulated to freeze.

Bit of rain here, no gauge but I'd guess 3 tenths there's puddles anyway. Another couple inches of snow covering the ground this morning. It's definitely not wanting to warm up.

Might have to do this ..... like Gold Rush , rip er and thaw it out lol

Back In the 70's..our school always had Grad the first Friday of May..and it was crap weather most yrs..even if we started in April.. either loads of rain or snow..

Another 2 inches overnight.

Even the cows have had enough of this. Usually don’t need much bedding in May but everyday it’s been required. Good thing we have lots of carryover but it’s disappearing quickly.

I have ice fished in March in warmer weather

Missing the coldest of the weather here - missing the moisture too. Way drier than we were this time last year and it was a wreck. The dust behind a neighbour spreading fertilizer on stubble this afternoon tells the story.
