Parkland farmers are starting to get ready to hit the fields for the first time this year, but first they have to wait for it to dry up enough.
Dan Mazier, the President of KAP, won’t be concerned about the weather unless they can’t get out until the end of May.
“At least we don’t have a drought on our hands. It’s a good thing. We’ll take the slow, continuous, melt a lot quicker. That would be my alternative than a fast, all of a sudden going up to a plus 20 and everything melts off quick and everybody is out on the land April 15th. So, this is probably the better way of going right now.”
Mazier says they are going into this growing season a little dryer so any rains that come before seeding starts will help flushes the frost and warms the ground up.
Just like typical farmer fashion, Mazier says they will take it one day at a time.
