Soil Temp.April 20/15

Sask3 was using trackhoe on one year old breaking and hit a lot of solid frozen ground on saturday. I would not think of planting before may one here. Even though drainoff was pretty good.

Thanks Braveheart, your average last frost date will be about a week earlier than ours here.
Tough call though in an "early" year, if it warms up and dries out earlier than usual and you don't seed earlier it gives the weeds a head start and might leave your seeds short of moisture.

Grassfarmer, true re an early year and moisture, especially shallow where your forage seeds will be.

Soil temp warmer now than our start last year - 2 weeks earlier.. Should make for a better start.

May the rains stay away until end of May. Wouldn't that make for easy seeding, for a change. Everybody ready? Seed in the dust, bins will bust.
