Local Farmers and Producers are resilient and hearty souls. Those words from Scott Gunderson Manitowoc County UW Extension Ag Agent. Speaking with Seehafer News, Gunderson says this winter tested the patience of everyone.
The constant barrage of storms in February made it difficult to keep livestock feed fresh resulting in milk yields running below normal in most herds. Despite the rough winter, Gunderson says there were a “few silver linings in those snow-filled clouds.
The local ag expert admits that farmers are “getting the itch” to start tilling fields. Gunderson adds they know their lands best-but errs on the side of caution.
So-what conditions are needed to “get out there and work?”
Motorists are reminded that farm machinery will be out on the roads “full force” within a week or so and to be patient allowing everyone to arrive at their preferred destination safely.
