The Storm sucked for moisture, had lots of wind, lets do a poll how dry are you?

    Agree cowzilla, but only those with skin in the game and actually farm would know the warning signs from experience.
    Hay crops can definitely be lost in April

      in 2020 it was the latest start to cutting hay I could remember...in May2020 I didn't think we would be cutting SFA....and there was still some moisture below...

      Its ugly on the hayland this year around here...

        If the trend continues here there won’t be much hay or pasture to deal with. As usual my timing is impeccable to increase the herd. Scratched one equipment purchase due to the moisture/ financial outlook. Fun times ahead.

        The frogs aren’t croaking yet so there’s at least one more shot of snow coming. Hopefully it’s more like a foot than an inch............,,

        Enjoy the beautiful weather in the meantime 🌞

          Lots of runoff here. All the water that could have help the crop heading to Hudson Bay.

            Small sloughs full here but dropping already , no real runoff
            Big drainage areas are very low .
            Probably will add 250 ac this year.
            Last time that happened was 2001 though
