I have a relative that runs a fertilizer business. We talked at Easter dinner. They had gotten two of their big three wheel floaters stuck Saturday, spreading fertilizer on fields that were "ready to go." I did see some deep tracks in a field where NH3 was applied also on Saturday, and a neighbor had a tractor with manure spreader planted Friday. However all the fields are white this morning. We fared well, only an inch or two here. That is four snows on my oats. My in-laws around Kasson, MN have several more inches up there.
