Good For You!! I think that it is pictures like this that are driving the futures prices. Next thing you'll be pouring slabs for the new grain binsssss. Enjoy the snow cause that's the way I remember this Season, not going for a big boat ride around Puget Sound like we are supposed to do later today! Kinda miss those cold white Iowa mornings.

here we got freezing rain early sat morning that slowy turned to snow and caused a heck of a mess on the roads. on sunday it snowed like mad and hardly anyone was at church. we got mybe 6-7 inches total out of the whole 2 days. more spring moisture! more ground moisture also!
have a Merry Christmas

Allen, after all that work you did on the truck, and then left the poor thing out of the barn in weather like that?? Tom
 
More is coming your way. Here in SEWY we got more again today with our wonderful wind and more is supposed to come tomorrow night and wed. I wish this crap would stop so I could move everything down to my parents new place.
 
Allan, I have a question. You've mentioned sparse moisture in your area of the state. Could you capture more moisture from snow melt and spring thaw if you went to deep tillage or strip tillage? I've seen you do a lot of moldboard plowing but no deep ripping. Maybe there's a good reason, like solid rock or something that would keep you from doing that. We've all but eliminated moldboard plowing in favor of, first, chisel plowing, but now, more and more farmers are going to deep till with very little surface disruption which seems to hold on to that moisture better and also gives plant roots a better path downward.
 
Dunno Bill,

I'm so old that I've watched that "no-til" fad come and go three times now and it just does not work in this area.
