Friday Crop Report on a Thursday!

[Sheepwheat]

I think 92 was the cold May with the leaves not coming out till June. If I remember right I think April that year was normal and then a cold NE wind all of May. Big volcano affected both 92 and 93 with 92 cold and dry and 93 cold and wet with endless rain. Both those years were tough years here!
I think this is one of the coldest Aprils I can remember and it looks like run off might not happen until the last week of April or first week of May which would be really late compared the normal for us.

1992 we had an august frost. Wheat weighed about 50 lbs. elevator agent called it mini wheat. 93 was the year when swathing, everyone left half mile ruts, end to end. Snowed eight inches in September. It was around 20 the day before. I remember waking up and it was unusually bright outside. Looked out my window and it was a sad sight. Crop was FLAT TO THE GROUND. The next year was a mouse infestation from hell, I presume, because they bred all winter under he flat crop areas. Nothing remotely close to dry.
