Cows graze in field May 13 -- first graze — Cows enjoy their first graze May 13. Before the cows had access to the new paddock they were fed dry hay to mitigate grazing stress brought on by the early-spring slow growth.

Kimberly Weyland For Agri-View

It feels like spring is here now. The first half of May many farmers were focused on spreading manure, applying a granular fertilizer mixture, and working land with the plow and rototiller. A few farmers began planting about May 15. The beginning of May brought many showers with some colder days.
