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

[furrowtickler]

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

Hawaii

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.

Hopefully it breaks for you guys at some point
I will follow people like Snodengrass and a few others over pig spleens and Easter eggs , but that just me

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
Guys harrowing just 6 miles south today along hiway 16 .
Just the year , we are in the mid line on snow … no snow

I’m aghast at those pictures. Reminds of here 5 years ago. Never got seeding till may 25. Some of the best canola crops we had.

Planning too cover the drills with MUDDY water...When there is WATER near them, and a touch more than COLD WINDY +5.

Darker is massive difference. All the fields along E-W grids have lost snow on S sides. N side hardly none. It was dusty with N winds but humid/wet/snowing with S winds, all winter.

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.

agreed , you guys sure got hit hard .we pulled off half a crop because we had some subsoil moisture. not so this year

Farmzone has 20 degrees temps a week from now.
Big snow mostly gone but very little mud.
If it gets warm and windy it will be dusty in 2 weeks.

Is seeding underway in your area Galaxy ?

Seeding is underway in my area. I got going yesterday on my triticale , finding nice wet dirt , for how long not sure . Bigger farmers in the area are rolling now also . Finally getting some warmer temps , and I hope I'm not jinxing myself for saying that .

Branding our calves today , then that job is DONE and cows can get the hell out of here!
