So Easter egg forecasters , what is in store for us weather wise this year??

Is seeding underway in your area Galaxy ?

You should have tried farming in the south the last few years. Not fun. ever tried combining a 5 bpa pea crop , just for seed for next year? Durum was 10 bpa or less. that was last year for a lot of us in the SW corner of Sask.

Were you getting stuck with the combine? Was the grain needing to be dried? Did your soil lose all its nutrients? Just saying. Because I’ve had single digit crops several times due to extreme wet conditions. With pathetic (relative to recent rates) crop insurance coverage and low grain prices. It’s never fun, dry, or wet. But for equal crops, I’d take dry any day.

Now. Let’s hope you get some of our moisture this year, and we get some of your dry! I would like nothing more than to have some balance!

Must be somewhere that is HAPPY? Warm enough, moist enough, on time with seeding dates?

This is the earliest we’ve branded calves in a long time. Corrals have been too mucky and weather to moist last number of years. Getting a little rain now but won’t slow us down. Get rest of the calves branded and turned out and we’ll be rolling in 5 days. This’ll be the earliest start for a long time.

5...How many days will this take? Taken Just now.

Highest temp so far +4, frozen every night. The snow left is solid ice. Lots of water in dips already.

Yupper. And plus five today is sure making it melt fast, huh? Forecast finally looks like double digits tomorrow. The bit of snowfall today was a nice touch, no? Lol So far in my search of April weather history in this farm, I have not come across many April’s without at least one 20 degree plus day. Found a few with 26 and 27 degrees though. Gives me hope that it wasn’t always this way out here before the glow bull warming.

My drill is stuck under the snow still just like yours FJ. Couple weeks back scooped up some dirt from a shed floor and sprinkled it on the snow hoping it would attract a bit more heat from the sun. It is helping but still has a long ways to go. Don't remember such big snow banks this late into spring.

Tree line on our home quarter must have 10 feet of snow still to melt

Even here , and we had way less snow than you guys , still can’t get the harrow bar and the ole JD planter out out of the banks. Maybe by weekend
