Spring has sprung! The snow has melted (almost) and the robins have arrived. I can hear a cacophony of frogs in our slough (that tells me the frost is almost out of the ground). And our gravel road is turning to mud. Ahhh . . . spring. Soon we will begin applying anhydrous ammonia (our Nitrogen source) to the fields in preparation for our corn crop. For those interested, that's what's in those big white tanks you may see in farmer's fields in the spring. When the weather is right (dry soil and warmer temps) we sometimes start in late March. Usually we are full bore in early April. We generally hope to start planting corn around April 20th -- give or take -- and soybeans following right after completing corn.
The fields are calling.
