I hope you fellers keep this thread going, because I am interested in following your cropping cycle, as compared to the cropping cycle here in South Australia and it seems there is not a lot of difference. While we dont have the pressure of working around the snow, planting has started here and will continue until the middle of June. We have had a good opening rain, varying from 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 inches in different areas, which makes it one of the best starts to the season, that we have had for years. The main crops grown here are wheat, barley, canola, beans, chick peas, field peas, oats and lentils. More and more farmers are going to direct drill and a lot are moving from tined planters to disc planters. GPS and auto steer is being used more, as well.
I would be interested to know what sort of rainfall you have through the growing season and what would the melting snow equate to, in rainfall?
