WOW. What a difference a little rain will make after a drought. Never thought I'd be gettin stuck in the Kubota or the sprayer making ruts in the field.
What I noticed on return trip to the farm this week is how all the pasture and road ditch grass has taken off incredibly. Lots and lots of cover. One might even expect hay prices could get back to where they were on the low side.
Fun to see cattle covered in grass and wallowing around in a water hole near a corner of a field.
Milo and corn food plots have emerged and the winter wheat is starting to head out.
I expect the hens are sitting on nests now and the hatch might be a little behind but it was 87 degrees yesterday which is nice a toasty for the new broods.
Here's a windbreak loaded with alfalfa and where you might expect a hen to setup a nest. I had to spot spray the occasional thistles which were fairly bad this year.

Here is a close up of the newly emerged CRP planting. Got to look close to see where the planter went.
