Looks like another delayed/late planting and delayed/late hay cutting start due to wet conditions. Not all bad for deer as wet springs equate to increased survival rates for fawns. Wet weather also provides plenty of browse and crops will most likely last later in fall before harvesting, thus providing more food and cover for deer into hunting season. Looking at 14 day extending forecast not going to be any hay cut in SE Indiana in May this year.

Most of the farmers I know in NW Indiana have already planted. But, I see some reseeding in their future.

I have a friend up north that planted a bunch end April BUT a lot will be replanted due to the hard freeze we got in May. Regardless most of state will be running behind esp. hay harvest.

No summer like temperatures in May that's for sure. Should be by June 20-22 Solstice. I don't remember one birthday (22nd) that wasn't hot and typical dry. The spring nectar flow has been close to 100% bust. A 2nd seasons in a row. Last fall drought (little golden rod) and now the two weeks of on and off freezes and frost. Very little spring flowering trees. When we did have early flowering there was no nectar flow. Temps not warm enough. Needs to be mid 70's for a few days with warm nights for nectar to be produced.

Man-o-Man. I look out and it's raining again. I will need a bushhog to cut grass when ever it's dry enough. I was hoping to cut today or tomorrow. Hope to get some fishing in Sat-Mon.
