I'm dreaming of a white harvest
I'm dreaming of a white harvest.
With the Milo lodging
The soybeans popping
And the Seed wheat sitting in the bin
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every hot check I write
May your field be ruttless and dry
And may all your harvests be dry

Re: I'm dreaming of a white harvest
Global warming?
140 years of records, average frost date here is the thirteenth.
Guess what we're not only getting frost but a freeze, AND snow yesterday. Big area inches of the stuff.
USDA trimmed soy acres a little bit, ol ma nature just trimmed yield a little bit.
The stars are shinning, sunny every day in the eight day. Should help those wet beans in the pods sprout.
Gonna take all those and then some to settle some of this ground out. I've got acres of corn in standing water.

Re: I'm dreaming of a white harvest
At 5-AM the stars where shining and temp at 30* It now has "cleared off cloudy" and 33* That inch of wet snow yesterday was a stark reminder of what maybe ahead. I can remember twice in my 40+ years of farming when it "Wintered in" on Oct 31 with snow and an ice storm and that was the end of field work till Spring next year. It will take more than 2 weeks to "get er done" however, a lot will happen with that sunny forecast going forward.

Re: I'm dreaming of a white harvest
El cheapo, how much snow did you end up getting? We had maybe an inch accumulate, but the ground was warm enough that a lot? melted when it first changed to snow. Hoping to resume field work this week. Maybe I'm being too optimistic? time will tell. I wonder how many wheat acres will turn into milo or soybean acres?

Re: I'm dreaming of a white harvest
Thanks to a senate committee....
No,, that’s wrong, my dad dug that hole thing ..... but I’m told it will drain into the hole Congress is digging soon. Good to have backup.
