Nothing rolling in this area. Son-in-law farms in the Red River Valley and hopes to get rolling this weekend or first part of next week.....

We’re all done with land leveling and have started creasing. Early sweet corn is going in the ground very soon. Is that similar to "corrugating"? Making a groove for the little siphon tubes?

Sam, My dad planted some of the seeds from this watermelon today hoping to grow a large one for the Watermelon Festival in July. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/nhaYRB2.jpg)

No wheels turning on my place. Was going to put in 37 acres of oats last week, but got 7 inches of snow. Got some relatives that have ground in the sandy Wisconsin river valley and their oats went in a couple of weeks ago and emerged and got covered with poor man's fertilizer...snow.
I should have the oats in by this Friday.

The Boise valley is warm and dry. The sugar beets and onions all went in about the 1'st week of Apr, which is a couple weeks late. But the fields were too wet before that. There was a dry spell early in March which let most of the guys get the cereal grains in. Corn has been going in as fast as the guys can get across the fields for the last ten days.
We have had no rain for about three weeks. So things are drying out fast. I spent a three day weekend on the tractor in a T shirt and straw hat last Fri-Sun. 80 degrees predicted for Wed-Fri.
I am resetting gated pipe as quick as possible and irrigating pastures and hay fields since Sunday.
People who choose to brew up their own storms bitch loudest about the rain.

We went to Helena yesterday for an Immigration meeting.
Not a wheel turning all the way down there.
On the way back home this morning there was a guy out spreading fertilizer with a little cart.
Between Loma and Big Sandy. Jim, care to elaborate on your meeting?

Couple weeks behind here.
Dust is just starting to fly on the Palouse.
Saw some pretty deep tractor tracks where it is still mud in the low spots.
Rain forecast again this weekend.

It is to dry here for plowing.
The fields were watered,plowed and listed about a month ago.
After running the irrigation systems to wet the ground.
Just about an hour ago we had a large wind storm hit here,about 50 or better out of the NE.
It sucks because the dirt is moving.

We’re all done with land leveling and have started creasing. Early sweet corn is going in the ground very soon. Is that similar to "corrugating"? Making a groove for the little siphon tubes? Yep, same thing just Western Colorado lingo.

Nobody moving yet in southeast ND.
I haven't even seen anyone try for spring wheat yet, which should be done by now.
Usually figure half the corn in the ground by April 25--none this year. And it won't be for a week or two yet.
Farmers are going to be up against the insurance cutoff deadlines for every crop this spring.
