It rained. Finally. The moisture overnight wasn't much but we'll take it and hope that more comes in the next 4-5 days. We have chosen not to plant and wait for moisture and for the calendar to get a little closer to May to hopefully have warmer temperatures . Others have started this week putting corn so we'll see what the right decision is in a few weeks. Flip a coin.
Dad and I have all our prep work for the most part done. I did a little strip till for my employer this week on some strips from last fall that we were going to put some plots in on and we wanted to freshen them and clean trash off some of the rows. It will be interesting to watch the differences off where we freshened vs not and I'll try to take some pics of the differences as the season wears on.
I checked my burndown from April 2nd and it looks like things worked well as there was a clear line sprayed vs unsprayed along the fencelines. The rest of the fields have quite a bit of lambsquarter and other weeds getting up to 1" tall.
