The rain early this week and the sunshine past couple of days have helped grass grow in summer pastures. The ground is still months away from being ready, but it was good to see that the seeding took hold fairly. As the work completed in October was our second pass through the rough grounds, we're hoping for a denser stand of vegetation this summer. The days of rain forecasted for next week will certainly help, and with mild winter nights thus far, chances are we'll have lush ground of grass for the hogs come May.
