Even our chihuahua is depressed about the weather. Will it ever be warm again?
Yes John, we typically plant after Mem Day. Clay soils (the non-red clay is even worse) do not like to warm up and they hang on to the moisture. But in a drought, they are great so long as you didn't work the ground too wet in the spring. In which case you have bricks.

Spring ? You got to be kidding me.......still no where in sight!!! Fields are as white now as 2 months ago.....have had snow flurries sometime during the day for the last week. But when we get threw this and avg. last two years.....everything will look normal to maybe 1 or 2 degrees above. Too bad crops grow on the actual temp. and not the avg.!!!!! John

This time last year we had most of our corn planted. This year Ive gotten some AA on and that's been it. Rain all of last week and 50 degree days . This coming week doesn't look much better. I don't mind the rain, Just wish it would warm up some. Ive been half assed sick the last two days.

Got another storm coming in tonight and sticking around until tomorrow night. Planned to attend an auction tomorrrow. It was put off from a week ago. Haven't heard on radio that it is off again. Lot of other bull and ranch auctions being rescheduled. Snowing good now and sticking. Coming from the SE but with no wind yet. Nothing really set up for SE wind here. Hard on new babies but we desperately need the precip. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
