Three Fields Done and Three to go!

​Treatments have been established for three out of the six fields provided to us by producers  participating in the spring cover crop grazing.  The wheat near Bucklin was at heading or getting close. In Almena and Grainfield the wheat was still in the boot, but getting close! There were a lot of beautiful sites on this journey. I've included a few neat pictures at the end.

Sunflowers, rapeseed, oats, and more. The cover crop is up and so are the weeds!

The cover crop is up and growing fast. Grazing is just around the corner.

What beautiful shades of blue and green! The wheat that is planted in the field from last year at Feikert’s farm was at heading while we were there. At Thompson and Manhart’s it was at booting. I sure hope the storm that just passed through didn’t damage the crop.

We use bright pink flags to make it easier to see treatments in the field. Behind me is one of the fallow plots. The wind moved in, and we were unable to spray at Thompson and Manhart's fields. I’m planning a trip later this week to spray those locations.
