At Last

So at the NCRS, we are like most of the country frustrated by the spring weather keeping us out of the field.  A week ago it snowed twice.  But at last here we are finally doing some field work.  I don't recall topdressing wheat this late on the calendar, but are on track with growing degree days.  Here we see Tim and Quinten applying a nitrogen treatment on a Farm 3 winter wheat experiment. 
I have seen no area growers out in the field working ground yet.  The ground is still pretty cold and wet.  But Ron was out working some lighter ground on Farm 3 today.  Much more to follow in the days and weeks ahead.
But it's good to get started.
By the way, next Monday tune in to Ag PhD Radio on Sirius-XM's Rural Radio for a very exciting topic and featured guest.  You know you will.
