Friday Crop Report on a Thursday!

Woodland

Just curious about the barb wire fencing, is it just extra wire wrapped that way, or has it got to do with pipelines. When we had cattle it was just 3 or 4 strands running horizontal?

Sure looks like a lot of barb wire between each post.

Good eye😎

It’s a four strand fence that we cut the wire and d****d it back a couple posts to get in otherwise we’d have to drive a half mile through the hay to get there. The pipeline outfit messed up the drainage and created a bunch of waterholes where none existed and are still flooding 80 acres of hay. This has been the most frustrating experience going on two years now. Hopefully this year they get it sorted out

The crops around here have got to be tough. Real tough, to withstand the wind, heat, flea beetles, cuteorms
And who knows what else. When we get the big rains this coming week, they won’t know what that is - rain.

The satellite shows the African dust coming from the west coast, never saw anything like that before. Reminds me of the dust when Mount St. Helen errupted in 1981: it changed the weather like flipping a switch. From blowing fields to glorious downpours. 🤞🏽

Oops 1980, Mount St Helen erupted.

Not lots but it was needed here as well
Going to test water quality at local lakes
Should be able to tell by the health of the fish 🎣

Well nothing here really 1/32 of a inch or i pissed in the rain gauge. Going spraying maybe that will work

I had to get my calculator out we’re metric as well
