Sorry Wheatking, I should have said he burnt Canaryseed stubble (burns like gasoline).

We never had Canaryseed overwinter in the swath but mice and voles love to live under any lump of straw so I wonder what would be left by spring if one had to overwinter a crop.

Canary seed seems to have done fine over winter.
Going by the swaths left out there, keeping geese off is the main challenge until combining.

Going to be a couple days yet. Usually most everyone would be in the field here. Forecast looks cool and drizzly well into may. Long range models are all over the place. Anywhere from 7/10" to 2 and 7/10" out into the first week of may.

It's more fun to seed and see crop rows in a week or so..than seed into cold ground and look for seed 2 weeks later only to find it has not germinated yet.
Have done that in the past.

Seldom bothered with a thermometer here. When shes fit to go its warm enough.
