Forage growth of grasses is occurring more rapidly than alfalfa, giving fields a mottled look. Winter killed areas are greening up with grasses. Dandelions are in full bloom and are adding a yellow hue to many forage stands. Winter annuals are in bloom and annual weeds are ready to compete, especially in unsprayed wheat fields. Report not available.
Frequent showers keep land wet.
With few exceptions, most have been shut down for three weeks now. Early planted cereals are emerging and canola is just coming through the ground. Very little has changed during the week. Cool temperatures have delayed hay, pasture and lawn growth. Some areas are getting just enough heat and are desperate enough for feed that a few cattle are going out onto the pastures but most remain stuck in yards.
