Crop report #1

It's April,  so let's talk about the fields. Earlier this week Max started using the sprayer to apply some of the liquid fertilizer on the fields.  Garry says we have to wait least a week before the guys can start planting sunflowers and two weeks for the corn seed.

The silage corn seed has not been delivered yet. The sunflower seed,  fertilizer concentrate and herbicides were delivered last Thursday and are safely stored in the yellow bedroom.

Only half done unloading 

 That's right, Jack and Jeremy left just in time for it to become a safe. A couple years ago someone stole some herbicide spray out of the shop, so now the expensive stuff (corn is 400 US dollars a bag) is kept in the house until it's used.

Monday when we got back from our little vacation we had to check out the fields. As Garry hoped something was up in the field that was planted before the team arrived, he could see tiny alfalfa,  pea, and barley (oops, that should be oats) plants.

Really they are there. In person you can see a little green across the field. Not as green as the nearby winter wheat field,  though!

Or the alfalfa field next to the new seeding which is also  greening up,  except where the irrigation pipes where buried.  

Garry took the students out field scouting for class Wednesday morning and they found an interesting item. Looks like it's from WWII.
