...MORE MUD! Someone just told me it might rain again tonight. Beautiful day today but I wouldn't dare even walk across some of these fields, let alone drive equipment on them. I was out yesterday before the rain and it was some of the worst ground I ever drove across. Some spots I only got picked by driving around and coming at it down slope. The rain stayed around all night. It's pretty much a hopeless case now. So I will be taking care of some repairs in the shed and will be ready should it dry out or freeze. Weather rules my world.

If you figure out how to do it, send some our way down here in NC. We had 2 tenths today and that was the first time it rained in about 3 months. Too late to help the crops, but some people are worried about their wells.

Already rained a couple times here this evening Dave, nothing major yet luckily.

Watching the news on motel TV in Statesville over Thanksgiving they were promising "inches" of rain! I doubt that happened anywhere down there. Did it? We headed back north under the clouds Mon. Abundant sunshine sure was nice Wed. through Sun.

Same at my house, been raining or snowing most every day for weeks. Got some corn to do yet so hopefully the snow doesn't get so deap it doesn't freeze.

I feel for you. I have never had to mud a harvest in but remember Dad chopping corn silage one fall in the late 70's. Everytime the tractor and chopper stopped the wagons would just sink in and often the smaller tractors could not get them moving. It was a long harvest with a 60hp tractor chopping and only a 40 hp pulling loads. Filled two 20X60 silos like that.I have left some corn untill it froze up to combine. One winter I was behind hauling manure and had started early in the morning because it froze. Dad drove in and said check the weather I think you should try to finish corn so we did that day. That night and the next day we had over 2 ft of snow that stayed untill spring.Good luck and I could use some solid ground here in WI for some jobs as well. Tom

I hauled a bunch of bales Monday. The trailer was sinking more than I really wanted to see. That inch we got after that was the end of it til it freezes. I need to get some manure out,but I'm not going very far off the road.
