You"re a little further north than central Iowa where home farm is, you want to prep? OK, change the oil in tractor, grease spreader bearings and chains, slingers, grease chisel or disc bearings. Take a walk to the highest ground you plan to spread on and probe ground with a pitchfork. Walk down to low ground and probe some more, lift up crumbly dirt or mud ball? Is there frost in ground 4-6 inchs down? Are you slipping and sliding in rubber boots? If you have some hilltops and slopes that have snow melted, drained and dried- you may be able to spread and work in manure safely. But lower ground will -my guess- be a potential tractor trap until after tax time. Wait "till wild ducks have hatched if in doubt about low ground, some times the ducks can paddle across low ground in May- At least they could a few years on home farm in peat ground area. . RN
