    We are on the line , here north still mostly covered white .
    Still white here too. Sounded like a snowmobile rally Sunday afternoon. Counted 9 in one group. Plowed off hillsides to get bare ground for cows. South facing slope has over 2 feet of snow and it shrunk a foot to boot.

      Pardon my ignorance, but what is the purpose of tillage in mid March? There can't be any weeds growing yet is there?
      Breaking the crust before it dries out. If they leave it till just before the discer or drill hits it, it'll come up with lumps the size of pie platters.

      Often two passes of tillage here before the seed goes in the ground when you're conventional.

        .and there is another little weed with a yellow flower very prolific ..dries the soil out....
        That little flower is Yellow whitlow grass. Since we quit chemfallowing it hasn't been much of an issue. We like to seed fairly early anyway.

          280 sleds at the local rally here this past Saturday.
          Open areas were rough from winds in Feb but in the hills north the snow was great .

              I remember the spring of 92’. Must’ve been April. Had calves branded running out with their moms on stubble in the hills. Folks were in town for a meeting and I was at the neighbours. Spring storm blew in and dumped 2 feet of wet snow in a nasty blizzard. Folks spent the day plowing out cows and getting feed to them. Never rained much that summer but that snow made the crop.

                WTF? Did you guys miss the last 15 years of direct seeding meetings?
