That's a bad joke to be making this morning. It's raining too hard to even go out and make sure the calves are alright.

Jon I sent you an email.

They will be growing webbed hooves at this rate....

They'd better start developing gills.

The rain is much needed and very welcome here. We planted potatoes and sweet corn in dust, and the tractors and planters out in the fields are stirring up so much dust that you can't even see them.

they said on the radio this morning 17 of the 30 days of April had measurable rain in my area including every Friday and Sunday

If this rain becomes the norm , I may start to just grow hay to wet wrap like they do in Ireland. We have had a tremendous amount of rainy days since the middle of August 2018.

We've yet to have our first decent rain of the year yet.

A few days ago we even had a red flag burn warning due to moderate winds and low humidity.

It finally let up enough to get out there this morning. Two inches in the gauge. It'll be at least a week from next Monday before we can turn a tire now,and that's only if it turns around and we get some heat. It'll have to evaporate,there's nowhere else for it to go.

Well it almost always does dry out eventually so worrying about when is pretty much a useless occupation. I have seen water standing on my fields one day and three days of warm sunshine and I can go. It's easy for me this year as I am taking a break. I don't have to do any farming to survive...I have already made enough this year to get thru it and there is more to come. So this year just hay and a small area of corn for our use plus maybe a couple acres of beans so I can try the "new to me" 1020 head. I can be done in two days and I KNOW eventually they will come. A little different for you, I know.

Hey you got a picture of my fields, but I can?t tell which year, 2016, 17, or 18? Could be this year too I guess the grass has greened up in the cold.

Everything is so saturated. Our infrastructure is falling apart, roads are just caving in, houses are slewing off hillsides, the ground has been so full for so long we are losing stability.

And I?m not too stable either any more....

Worst thing right now is the calves. I had two new ones this morning. One was in the barn with the cow alright,the other one stood all hunched up alone in the middle of the field in a cold pouring rain. I found the cow. She was at the feeder. Not saying she didn't need to eat,but leaving a muddy wet newborn standing alone in the rain wasn't a good thing either. I got him in the loader bucket and put him in the barn. I still haven't seen her in there with him. He was bellering a few minutes ago so I mixed up half a bottle of milk replacer and he took that alright,so I know he's at least got something warm in his stomach.

locally the mantra is ' it is NOT snow' . wait for 20 days, see if dorecast is another 20 days- see if lumber shop has Gofer wood in stock, tape measure in cubits and old manual--Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth. Teasing alert! RN
