Winter’s Here…well sorta

Our Trail Teams have installed all the trails, after a long fall. We got many fields disked & rolled, however the farmers were able to continue there work up until the weather turned WET. Then we jumped into the COLD, so many fields weren’t disked & rolled but froze… so they are fairly bumpy.

The first few snow storms were great. We were able to roll the snow to establish a good base. THEN the weather once again changed and the melt happened.

NOW we’re expecting rain and ice – WOW
