Hudson Talbot wrote an award winning book A Walk In The Woods. There are more trees on the prairie now that the bison are gone and prairie fires suppressed. One could find some woods in which to walk with a little effort. My walking tends to be in the grasslands, which I did today. Finally the wind subsided and the sun was out with temperatures in the 30-40 range.
Some farmers have begun spring tillage. There was an interesting article to today's Minneapolis paper about the price of corn and soybeans. The prices are near all time highs. That news is offset by the high prices of fuel, fertilizer and farm land. With the increase in the cost of farm land rental prices are likely to increase. Adding to the uncertainty is the unpredictability of the weather. The cold spring has delayed field work and locally the lack of moisture causes concern about production.
Takk for alt,
