Spring Frost

Last night a spring frost occurred.

This is a good opportunity to scout for frost damage in area fields.

The following group of photos were taken by the observation pipe in the adjacent field to the east of Basin A or Duck Pond.

Planted 4-18-2010 Emerged 5-3-2010


In this photo, it's hard to see damage from 6' away.

The following group of photos shows the damage a late frost can do to 3-4" corn up close. Photos taken at 3:00pm






Corn here on Ruby's Farm has not emerged.

Adjacent 73 Acre Farm to West Planted Today

In this photo, the farmer is beginning to fold up his planter after planting the 73 acre field to soybeans today.

Conditions must be good enough for Resch and Schneekloth to both be planting today on this section. We had 6/10ths and 4/10ths in two rain events this past week. The tile system and wetlands appears to be working as designed.
