Too much rain ?

I know the rain has been troublesome for many farmers this year, myself included. I vow not to complain though, as I remember how much more helpless I felt in 2012 while watching our crops wither in the parched hot soil.

I hear ya. No matter what everything seems to get done one way or another. As someone once said "if farming was easy everyone would be doing it".
 
Yep last week we got 5.75 inches of rain and had flood problems all over this area of Missouri. Then we had 4 days of very hot and humid weather. I did get a bit more hay done in those 4 days but keep having thing break down on me so not as much as I had hoped for. Rained all night last night and still raining right now. Rain gauge says we got 1.5 inches of rain over night
 
I said I wouldn't gripe either, after 5 years of drought, but after 20" in May and another 5 the first part of June I renigged. Enough is enough. Finally things are getting back to normal. But things sure look pretty, ponds full vegetation nice and green.
