Mild weather helps farmers get jump on improvements
Monday, December 1st, 2008
Farmers all over the valley have been taking advantage of the mild winter weather. Some of the larger farms have been observed trenching to either replace and/or maintain water lines to the large pivots. There’s a lot of tractor work, sraping drives, and moving dirt around. These are activities that normally have to wait until well after the “spring thaw”.
With little wind, several construction projects have been moving forward, from barn re-roofing to new home building. Normally these activities would now be curtailed due to cold night-time temps, high winds and snow.
What’s in store weather-wise?
Check out the new Weather Underground bug in the right side bar. The closest station is located at the old Beryl Railroad Station. It records everything except rainfall.
