Finally we have some good spring weather! This week we have been having temperatures in the low to mid 20’s – a big improvement from the single digits last week, and sub zero the week prior!
It’s still going to be a few days before we can get going in the field – fields are wet and there is still snow in the field borders and areas with trees – all that snow still has to melt and runs through the field.
We have the two newer air drills complete and ready to go – full preseason check over and testing. The third air drill – our older unit – still has an another day of work left to be done. All the auxiliary equipment – augers, seed treaters, harrows, rock pickers, sprayers – are also in field ready condition.
With the poor weather in April we took the opportunity to go through monitor training – and had Bourgault come out to spend half a day for more intensive training. It’s nice to have a refresher before we get into the heart of the season.
We are planning on a “soft start” approach over the weekend – before we go full speed.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
It’s that time of year when we look back on the season and realize just how much we managed to accomplish—rain, shine, and everything
