There was not much fieldwork performed last week due to deep snowpack and periodic showers of rain and snow. There was some frost spreading of fertilizer noted on wheat fields to the east where there was little to no snow blanketing fields.
Melting of the snowpack followed by rainfall on Friday, has created ponds in some fields. The Malone area picked up 1.75 inches of rain on Friday. It looks like the tile lines will be getting a work out the next several days due to the wet soils and additional precipitation in the forecast this week.
Last week continued the stretch of dry weather with little to no precipitation falling since May 8th. It was sort of a roller coaster ride in the temperature department with highs near 80F most days, however, highs struggled to reach the mid 60’s during the midweek time frame thanks to a backdoor cold front.
