I chiseled one field last fall, now there's water standing in many places after the rain this week. I made three or four loads of manure spread in the vineyard, about 80 more to go, but no need to rut everything up just yet. Neighbor and I went in together to have an excavator clean up our ponds and the ditch between us, but it's so wet down there that we have only moved about 1% of the piles, hope to spread it all out before tillage time!

You have any pictures of your equipment and fields???----Loren
Still got some pretty big drifts it?s way to Early to be crying about not getting in the field Especially as dry as it was al last year. I?ve planet a lot or crops the end of June and still had a great crop all lot better than when you can plant the first of April because there was no snow or rain all fall winter and spring . Been doing preventative maintenance on my 52 year old tractors been moving snow today so i can Into some of the implements so I can start on them
We have been wetter every year for the past 3 years, and this spring is wetter yet.
Got several inches of snow left to melt from the last blizzard.
They have a few inches of rain forecast middle of next/this week.
We didnt get much field work done last fall. Spring chisel plowing generally doesn?t go well here in a normal spring, too wet and clods in this clay ground. Have to improvise with a disk or something.
It?s early, but it doesn?t look good for this year. Again.
Last year I planted 3 weeks late, got 3/4 of a crop. It?s wetter now than it was last spring.

I've been busy hauling manure. I've got the oat ground all covered and could be working that. The tractor's hooked on to the disc and I made two passes across a headland right close to home yesterday. They're talking a good chance of rain most of the week,so it might be another week yet before I really get rolling.
SVcummins you got me to wondering what the tractors were doing looks like 57 hrs of plow time per tractor 114 total hrs, 735 total acres=13 acres per hour, 6.5 acres per hour per tractor....well that not as good as I thought it should have been..should get more acres per hour than that, had some ground slip, I ran the little tractor power shift 7+ mph on tach but the radiar said 6.6-7.0 a lot of wheel slipping, lot of fuel wasted
