I live on a farm in the middle of nowhere in Southern Ontario and the auroras were stunning last night.
Around 1:00 am we had noticed flashlights in our freshly planted soybean field about 100 meters from the road. 5 cars were parked in the field and people were drinking and taking photos.
After driving out on the 4-wheeler and asking them to leave and explaining that they were damaging/compacting the seeds they got defensive and refused to believe they were damaging anything because “it was just dirt”.
Just a friendly reminder to please stay on the roads, it may look like “just dirt” but thousands of dollars worth of seed could be planted in it and driving over them can delay emergence due to compaction. Especially if the field is wet.
