Seeding

Its that time of year when farms start to get out in the fields to put in their crops. Seeding is important part to farmers if they grow and their own crops to sell or to make feed out of it later on for their cattle. This year it seems to be a wet year for most farmers, but with hot temperatures to come this will help out the farmers with their seeding. My old bus driver once said "you seed in the dust your graineries will bust."
Its the time of year where farmers are busy in the field preparing the soil to seed their crops .Farmers in southern Alberta are about three weeks behind schedule when it comes to seeding thanks to old man winter, southern Alberta would normally have about 20 percent of seeding done by now, but the rest of the province is not behind at all. Seeding in central and northern Alberta does not usually start until the first week of May. Moisture levels are good now, but any more rain could saturate some areas.
