This spring will have sprung faster than you know. 9 days from now we’ll be moving in straight lines with drills

[Acadia Irrigation Society @AcadiaSociety]

Who’s ready to go in 10 days??
Hurry up!!

[Acadia Irrigation Society @AcadiaSociety]

Drills need their final touches. Tractor cab needs a vac. 11 days until wheels come down.

[Acadia Irrigation Society @AcadiaSociety]

Just 12 days left to get all the inputs & supplies to the yard ready to go !!

[Acadia Irrigation Society @AcadiaSociety]

Rigs are rolling to the south of us ( as usual). Nothing unlucky being 13 days from growing a crop.

[Acadia Irrigation Society @AcadiaSociety]

Okay..a setback on the soil temperature climb today …but a fortnight from now burn-off & drills roll. Fortnight sounds so … English!

[Acadia Irrigation Society @AcadiaSociety]

Cereal seed can be treated in temps from -3° & higher & stored for 6 months with no germination effects. Reducing bottlenecks is called management in 15 days when you start seeding

[Acadia Irrigation Society @AcadiaSociety]

The dam is almost full. Frost is gone. Soil temps rise each day. Seeding is 16 days away.

[Acadia Irrigation Society @AcadiaSociety]

One for our ranchers- seed an early stand of mixed grain 17 days from now & take it off as early green feed then get some regrowth for a bit of grazing end of season.

[Acadia Irrigation Society @AcadiaSociety]

We get 105-120 days to grow a crop.June 20 sun gives us the max photosynthetic potential. We lose each day after. Plant a crop that creates the maximum solar panel to capture that sunlight. Working back that’s in 18 days!

[Acadia Irrigation Society @AcadiaSociety]

Trucks need a last minute check up & checkoff too.
19 days until the drill gets to the early field.

[Acadia Irrigation Society @AcadiaSociety]

Pick a dry spot in the yard to let the drill wings down & begin the inspection. 20 days until that bugger goes to work!

[Acadia Irrigation Society @AcadiaSociety]

Just a few more sleeps until your Annual General Meeting of the Society. Lots to talk about. Water generates dialogue in a desert 🌵

[Acadia Irrigation Society @AcadiaSociety]

In 3 weeks top farmers get their crops into the soil. The growing season starts!!

[Acadia Irrigation Society @AcadiaSociety]

In a pair of deuces we start seeding

[Acadia Irrigation Society @AcadiaSociety]

First day of spring!!!
You made it !!
Countdown to #plant2025

This warms my heart. #FAFO

[Acadia Irrigation Society @AcadiaSociety]

Early spring moisture can start good crops. Make use of it by having seed in the ground in 24 days!
