The break in the weather has the Essex County farm community preparing for spring planting.
The Director of the Essex County Federation of Agriculture, Brad Anger says it seems like the winter lasted longer than normal, but he says they aren't far behind schedule.
"I'm not considering it late. It looks like (the weather) is on a turn now for the better and we've been through years like this before. I don't have a great concern unless we get a lot of adverse weather in May - cold, wet weather."
Anger adds that fields are draining well. He's also reminding drivers that heavy farm machinery will soon be on the roads and he's urging patience behind slower-moving vehicles.
"We do our best to share the roads. At some points we do take up a good portion of the road. All of our guys are aware to share the road. It's just courteous of us to share the road and the motorists to work with us."
He expects farmers will be out 16 to 18 hours a day for the next while.
Essex Region Conservation Authority Director of Water Resources Tim Byrne says sandy soils are draining, but he expects clay areas will take another couple of weeks to dry out enough for farming.
