The last day of March and its snowing to beat the band out there! Heavy wet stuff, the kind that adds up moister. This spring has been a bit different, the melt has been extremely slow, allowing much of the moister to stay in the fields instead of a rapid run off to [...]
Its kinda getting into mud season here. I don’t know what it does down south, but up here in the north mud season can last for weeks and that even with very little moister. Has to do with the frozen ground unthawing slowly and very little evaporation. Drive over something a few times [...]
