Saw two different groups of sandhill cranes today. One group of about 100 and the other was a small family group.
Saw a remarkably large group of ducks (mixed dabblers and one large group of scaup) on a pond and 4 wood ducks on another. Was quiet a site!!!
Should be a large amount of cotton planted this year. The soil temps warmed up and stayed up really quickly at the same time cotton prices were really high. Many farmers locked in their price and planted. Not going to be nearly as much corn (relative) as this past year.
Some of the hybrid rice does not have warm enough stable soil temps and is not yet ready to plant. Traditional rice is starting to go in the ground this week. Next week hybrids will start being planted.
All in all the prairie is looking good. Now, if we can get out of this teeter totter drought.
