Here as well! The Weather Prediction Center's site is a regular part of my week.

This, 1000%. USDA-NRCS services are a prime example. Engineering services are especially popular.

The oats were NT drilled into heavy residue from grazing pearl millet in 2023. Wasn't sure how it would go but the stand was excellent and I think the residue helped the oats through the dry conditions.

No problems at all - a good nose push and tug, and they are in.

Windrows are pretty well covered. This is the most work I've asked them to do since we started swath grazing. They've done deeper snow, but there is a crusty layer under 6" or so of fresh powder. Was curious to see how they would handle it.

Pretty good quality down in there considering some terrible conditions after we put it in the sheath this fall.

Actually not sure if we moved them or they moved us...

2 weeks and 2" of rain after drilling. The cane was trying to come before the rain. Field cover is crabgrass after a mostly failed spring oat crop. We grazed the crabgrass for about two weeks to keep it from setting seed until we were ready to burn down and drill.

We actually drilled a mix of seed including soybeans, sorgxsudan, and radishes. Found everything germinating early on, but not sure if the others survived the conditions or not. Cane is dominating the mix, which is fine. Seed was discounted odds and ends from a local dealer.
