Balmy........ Warm........... LOL. At least somebody still has a sense of humor about the weather. I've heard near ever word used to describe the weather lately, but those two words didn't make it. Too many weeks of wind is getting to us. I'm really sick of all of the dirt blowing, feel like I'm in the dust bowl at times. Wind is making it real hard to get sprinklers going, glad I don't have any winter wheat that is trying to blow out.

As far as planting in the fall, are you irrigated or have dependable rains then? Like Hank said we are irrigated here, so planting in the late summer is possible. Tough to get the seed placed right in stubble, but if you can keep it wet it comes out nice. One of my customers planted a field last fall, all he did was burn the stubble, airflow the seed on and started the sprinklers. Kept it moist and it looks great this spring.
