Well the beginning of March has came and it feels like winter has really left us. Back home on the farm for spring break last week and it was a blizzard, now this week it feels as if springs upon us. Many people know what spring brings about.
Well my spring means its almost time for springs work. Above I posted a video of how a corn planter works because this is what part of our springs work consists of. March this year has been a good month to get all the equipment out and ready for springs field work, as well as, planting.
Corn is becoming a really well grown crop around North Dakota. It used to be just for states such as Wisconsin but now with knew varieties it is a great row crop for our state. With the flood last year there was quiet a few farmers who did not even get their crops planted. Lets hope this year springs work works better for our state.
The first 2 months of spring are crutial for farmers, this determines the rest of the season for them. If a farmer doesn't get their crops in on time, harvest will not be as early and then they have to deal with the unpredicatable winter weather that seems to come at any time. I know many farmers are hoping for this beautiful spring like weather to stay! I am!
