The middle of June has arrived. How quickly the days pass by! Our winter wheat is nearly fully headed out, but it isn’t very tall. I think our long, cool spring, which turned into hot summer weather, has played havoc on some of our crops. If you have alfalfa in […]

I hope everyone has been enjoying the incredible weather we’ve been experiencing. I certainly have been. I love the sunshine, heat and warm summer nights. Of course, the bugs ruin some of that enjoyment. When I was cutting grass the deer flies were biting and they seemed to have a way to […]
Whoa…. June 1. The date makes me a bit nervous. Since we just got spring and summer simultaneously last week, there are many jobs to tick off. This last week of weather has been incredible, and I don’t mind it one bit. We did have to finally turn on the […]
I think Sunday’s weather was the type we’ve all been waiting for—it felt incredible. It will take a few of those days to dry things up again, and maybe we will be complaining then about the dry conditions. We haven’t had a lot of rain, but I did cut the […]
I absolutely love long weekends! The only thing that could have made it better was more sunshine! Friday was a scary day with wind and fire. We had no hydro all day and well into the night. As I have mentioned before, it is more of a worry when the […]
If there’s a common theme these days, I think it has to be the cool temperatures we’re experiencing. I updated our weather data, and we have had only two nights this month that haven’t been below freezing temperatures! I do believe that might be a record because I don’t remember […]
I would say that this year, spring is having a really tough time springing. Unfortunately, I was under the weather and missed out on a couple of nice days on the weekend. I came home from work, did my chores and went to bed just after 6 p.m. I woke […]
My summer students started today, and, of course, it is rainy and cold. I am trying to find a positive spin on the weather because the girls are busy today with their onboarding forms and safety training. The system seems to change every year, so it always takes time to […]
I think most of us are still recovering from our Cattle Sale this past Saturday. We sold 1,580 head. We had one of the biggest receiving days on Thursday that we have seen in many years. We had over 1,000 head. The staff were exhausted and didn’t get a lunch […]
Well, the drift of snow that was outside the door of the Emo Agricultural Research Station has finally melted—likely with the help of the rain. I really find this an ugly time of the year and without sunshine it is even less desirable. I know it will change and soon […]
I rolled into work this Easter Monday morning and nearly turned around and went home! We have a large snowbank on the south side of the building that is deeper than when I was here in March. It really isn’t that nice to shovel, since we are also cold, and […]
It is sounding like March is planning to head out like a lion! I am hoping the predictions are wrong, especially since I am currently out of town and heading home later this week. My mom is in charge but she doesn’t need any extra work or worry with a bunch […]
