Friday Crop Report on a Thursday!

[furrowtickler]

Still got a ways to go here
This just 2 miles south of farm

I don’t think we will get much run off , most likely just a few potholes and mid sized sloughs



Finally feels more like spring today

Thought I saw a bare patch on the home quarter the other day. But it was just another dead deer. Could skidoo anywhere your heart desires.

This is getting to be not funny anymore. All single digit highs, many barely above freezing for two weeks. A bunch of highs of plus one in mid April?

That would be a first, even in this foresaken Siberian slough.

I’m gunna run out of feed at this rate. There will for sure not be green grass until late may at the earliest.

A line NW to SE 20 miles N of 16 is still FULL winter. Another 1" last hour. Roofs have old snow yet. Totally BRIGHT white melts very slowly. Forecast highs 1-6C next 7 days. Another planet compared to 50 miles S and W.

Same here Trails still marked, one groomed a few days ago.

Everyone is REALLY tired of the COLD/SNOW and SHITTY, icy, snow blown onto highways every week..... since Nov

[furrowtickler]

Not to worry , growing seasons are getting longer, especially in the northern latitudes . They say by 3-5 weeks if I remember?
Hopefully no frost on June 20th this year

It can look pretty bleak this time of year Sheep but when spring comes it will happen fast! We had 100% snow cover into April a few years ago and I was wondering how the cows would calve in snow. But thankfully by the middle of the month the sun got so high that the hill tops started showing up and in a few days the snow was gone and the grass wasn't far behind! Good luck!

I know. Things can turn on a dime. I try hard to not be a negative Nellie, but it’s so frustrating to see everywhere else be able to be mobile. I try to feed the sheep on new snow each day. I try to spread it around on the pasture. But this year all the feed is happening in a tiny area, because there is no other way. It’s exhausting shovelling out gates. Times like these I wonder what I’ll do honestly as I get older.

Ireland sounds pleasant.

The melt is on today at least.

Started the cleaner and peas are first up to bat.

We never plan on grass before June 1st, some times we get a week earlier but pay for it in fall usuialy.

Did someone say Spring or green grass?
No sight of it here.

Going to be a lot of water running if it doesn't start melting soon.
