Good Morning Chip,

Very few fields have even been disced here in my part of Wisconsin.

There are quite a few fields with a little bit of water still standing.

The last few days of sunshine and wind have greatly helped.

Not a problem for soy beans, but a faster growing corn may need to be used if the fields don't get planted soon.

I'm a believer in the the effects of the Grand Solar Minimum I now believe we have entered.

The last snow in late April put a lot of moisture on the fields ,but that is evaporating quickly in the wind on sunny days.

Ground temperatures have increased quickly.

I have not planted my garden yet.

Hope to do some before I go to Minnesota on a fishing trip.

Hopefully the market rewards the farmers with a better price.

I guess I'm a walking toxic site if beer has glyphosate in it.

I'm not sure there is a way to escape the side effects of modern farming.

The water runoff of fields and dairy operations is seen in the delta of the Mississippi river off of Venice Louisianna.

Here in Wisconsin the EPA restricts how many cows can be in a dairy milking system. The cows must be housed and not allowed out in a field. The runoff when it rains is now the largest source of water pollution.

I've now lived on the Sheboygan River for over 50 years. I can confirm that the water quality of the river is vastly better than when it was in 1970's.

We even have a large clam living in the rapids where there are sandy bottoms. A friend from the DNR told me that was a very good sign of a healthy river.

The Sheboygan river's source waters flow from the Sheboygan Marsh about 15 miles upstream from my house. My 40 cares has two artesian springs that flow all year round into the Sheboygan.

Years back the river was not clear not it is much better.

If only the three dams (Kohler, Sheboygan Falls and Johnsonville) downstream would get taken out- we'd have a trout and sucker run in the fall and spring. The dam near my house (Franklin)was taken out over a huge debate from both sides. I'm glad it is gone!

Thinking about planting some hops on my land. Since you are over in Samuel Adams territory, I'll task you with a recipe. <smile>

We can call it NOGLY BREW. LOL
