That looks like a scene from January, and it is May correct, they did not roll the clocks back last night did they ?? Don't worry, next week it'll be in the 80's, at least it's some good H2O for the soil.
They've got it all backwards here, 2-3 weeks of sunny dry almost summer like weather until earlier this week, then cools off and rains, that's supposed to come first. Go from 0 to 100, right to summer, no in between, now it's frosted once already, been 40's - 50's.
The farmer near me seems to have done most of the field work already and I assume planted too, he sowed oats on 7 acres here, what was under the soil germinated and has a 2" sprout, but the rest of the seed on top is just laying there, he used a brillion 2 roller cultipacker, not sure if it's a cover crop for hay, but now chasing turkey's and geese out, though the seed looks mostly untouched, I baited the turkey to keep em busy. Looks like that seed needs some light cover, if all of it was under would have sprouted like the rest ? Hopn it all works out, have not seen oats here since the 70's.
