For the week of May 20th – May 27th
Seeding is Complete!!
We had one of our earliest starts in recent memory, only to be shut down a few days later by rain / snow, and that trend continued a few more times – not a late end to seeding but with June approaching it is nice to have it all done!
The recent moisture has raised the topsoil moisture levels and germination and establishment has been good. Farther north we have had more rain and subsoil moisture levels are noticeably higher on our soil moisture probes through our weather stations.
Can’t say enough about another outstanding team – everyone pulls together and fills any voids – was one of the easier going seeding seasons.
Now we take a day off and then get back at it – clean up the drills and get ready for spraying season which will likely start by the end of next week!
