    Well run off is done!

    Snow is just left in some tree lines and
    ditches but the big run off is done.
    Manitoba you dont have to worry about
    getting our water this spring. Moving
    equipment and starting to work on
    Drills. Winter wheat is greening up
    around Melville and North we were in
    Canora yesterday. Yea its March 22. Hm
    if its greening up here in Canada wont
    ND and Montana and SD be way ahead.
    Kansas is heading. So a funny cold snap
    like a few years back can you say HM.
    The stuff at Melville where we stopped
    looks only good where thick snow. Id say
    he will spray out and seed something
    else.
    Seeding will be early if weather holds
    but no earlier than 20th of April in our
    parts. Thats a Month away.

      Our Winter wheat is looking good, corner to corner. But ya your right it all depends on the next months weather. Drew is still calling for below avg temps for us, so we should not forget about ground temp even if we start in last week of April.
      It could be fun trying to figure when to start, between seeding while theres still enough moisture to germinate or waiting till the ground is warm enough.

      In the early 2000's we could have been starting by Apr. 15 and we're typically later in the first week of May, but them were lethargic years and it warmed up very slow.
      Time will tell, but I'm going to try be ready by Apr. 25th (R.M. #279)

                  Was talking to my neighbor the other day and he
                  said he wants to band some fertilizer in as soon
                  as he can get on the field. He's going to put a
                  couple of bags if canola seed beside the fertilizer
                  truck just to get some excitement going.
