Well sort of. Still lots of snowbanks and spots with frost, but not much mud, strange here in the spring, with all the snow we had this winter.

One of the interesting things about NY- so much variability.
I chiseled 5 mornings in a row, Mar 26-30 only because it was frozen. It did come up nice. Finally sort of made up for no fall tillage. But nothing but mud here now. Your soil has to be very different from ours!
 
Hay Bob,
I don't know where all the moisture went this spring. I drove my 2wd PU up to the top of the corn field. It was covered with fresh snow a week ago. The plow chunked out frost in some spots and there was still snow 30 feet out into the field on the end over the horizon in the pic. Wierd spring to say the least. Supose to be 75F early next week. It made 46F today.
 
Could not have even thought about it here. It's gonna take a week of 60 plus degrees to dry us up enough.
 
Weird, 8 hours away we were on track for early thaw then we have been getting hard freezes at night, and barely above freezing in the day.

Another 2 weeks to go I think.
 
At first glance, I thought there was still snow behind the house in the first pic- but its barn roofs! Pretty place. Love those Kverneland plows!
 
Just a question but don't you have residue reqirements on those hills we would have soil and water all over us in Illinois
 
Most of my farm is classified as highly erodible, no residue requirements but a rotation of 2 years maximum for row crops and minimum of 3 years hay crop.
