Plenty of fox here

Yeah we lost our snow to Marc. We never really had much in the first place. Seems like it’s been either cold or warm. Pretty mild for the most part. The heavy snow went north or south of us. Kinda like the rain did all year
Do you have the white phase Arctic fox Marc? We have red and grey. Some cross which I have been told is a phase. I’m not sure. No white ones though.

I don’t know if I will be able to keep this thread going steady but I thought I might post a few things as things start rolling in 2023.
We made a few more changes to the planter. Put different row cleaners and fertilizer attachments on. I like them. They worked good.
Started planting sugar beets Last Thursday in perfect conditions. Excellent weather. We worked hard at it and by late Saturday night I finished planting our beets.
I’m feeling pretty good about them. The ground was perfect. Everything worked great.

By Monday morning the first ones I planted had a nice tap root started and getting ready to push. The weather cooled off considerably though. Snow in the air .

My dad always said to grow really good beets they have to get snowed on after you plant them and snowed on before you harvest them.
I guess we’re half way there.
He planted his first crop of sugar beets two days before I was born. 62 years ago.

It’s starting to look like spring
