Here comes the sun.....

Yesterday we had the perfect spring day.  Warm and sunny and no wind, which means we jumped on the tractor with the sprayer and went like crazy!  The wheat is big, especially for this time of the year.  It would have been better to have done this a few weeks ago, but Mother Nature had other plans, like rain!  We'll happily take the rain!!

We are applying a couple different herbicides and foliar fertilizer with lots of extra nutritional goodies!  It's like a multivitamin with a little bit of everything that a plant likes to grow and thrive.

A few of these photo will look familiar from last year.

This is Indy, pulling the Flexicoil sprayer.  It's 114 feet wide and Reynald drives pretty fast so we get a lot done in a short amount of time, which is essential this time of the year.

And, Bertha and I get to spend some quality time together.  

You can see that the tractor smashes down the wheat.  It will pop back some, but wheat this big is definitely damaged a little.  

Have you ever seen dead flamingos in Eastern Washington farm country?  I was shocked and amazed!!!
