I had some farm business in the Valmeyer area today. It is amazing what a difference 80 miles south can make at this time of year. Willows and Maples are turning green along with honey suckle and other underbrush. Dad had apricot trees in bloom, and I even saw a redbud in bloom. I looked for service berry blooming on top of the bluff, but did not see any.
Farming activity was nitrogen being applied to wheat. One person was using a floater and one was pulling a buggy. The ground seemed solid if not especially dry. The wheat below has broken dormancy and is looking good for now.
