In my immediate area, there hasn’t been much fieldwork accomplished so far in April. Some of our farms have already seen around 6 inches of rain this month. A little burndown has been applied but not much. If the forecast holds, this week could finally allow a lot of equipment to get rolling. We’ve been spoiled the last few springs with plenty of time and ideal conditions, but this year feels more like a typical spring. I’ve already mowed my yard three times — and it needs it again. At least the moisture is good for cattle pastures.
