It’s February and it’s snowing! Those fluffy white snowflakes accumulated but when they melt they provide moisture to our soils. Ten inches f snow is equivalent to one inch of rainfall, when surface temperatures are around 30degrees Fahrenheit.
Last year we received an exceptional amount of snow – 70 inches, compared to the average of 34 inches. During the winter, snow provides moisture to our farm fields and recharges the soils, which is good for growing crops.
