I've never saw it so wet here! I got the front wheel of the truck off the driveway and it went in 6 inches. In the barn yard I sink in over 2 inches just walking.Still many acres of crops out yet around here. This is my neighbors bean field.
The last several times we went to the field we ran 4 wheel drive and still cut in a foot in several places

Hello Larry

We been getting a little moisture around here also to slow down the field work but nothing like your getting.

Good luck with the rest of your harvest.

Gary

Is there a way to cut a drainage ditch and get it to a pond or creek.

That is the way it looks in mid Michigan right now. It has been so wet all year I have never seen anything like it. We had over 30 inches of rain from planting to harvest this year. I think by now it is leaning towards 40 inches. It has not really stopped all year. I would be willing to bet we have had at least 100 rainy days this year. About 4 days ago we got another inch and now today we got 1 1/2 inches topped off by an inch of wet snow. We got lucky to get just enough dry days to get out and harvest 99% of the beans, do some tillage and planted a little bit of wheat that is probably hurting already from too much rain. A lot of our neighbors still have a ton of crops in the fields waiting for a chance to catch up. Now they will probably have to wait for a freeze. I hate rainy weather, it is messing up the deer hunting too because it is just too much. We dont need any rain now until June!

Boys!, Load it up on Semis and send it down here to Texas, Powerhouse dry, cracks wide enough to run you hand into up to you wrist. The first 100 loads might fill up the cracks. LOL!
Wish we could take it off your hands.
Later,
John A.

Yep. it's wet , same over here can't get in the fields . we could stand two or three semi loads of stone just up around the barn the mud is worse then in the spring . Either it is going to do some seirous drying or we are going to have to wait for a freeze . We have just two fields of corn to pick and this ground set high and it is way to wet to even think of tryen . This year reminds me of 1970 when the rain just kept comming and it realy never froze . we tryed everything tryen to pick corn with a mounted picker and spent more time dragen the wagon out backwards then usen up to three tractors to get the picker out . Gave up on the wheel tractors and my one buddy and i had a new 310G case dozer with three point and pto we barrowed the neighbors 319 one row and went at it now ya talk about slow going when ya got over two hundred acres one row at a time and there were times that we even had the dozer stuck. We started the first of Nov. and finished the second week of April just in time to start plowen.

Where you at ? I"m in Ohio and around that time my uncle had bought a set of Arps tracks to put on a JD70 to get into the fields.

Very wet here in NE Arkansas. Begining with between 11 and 17 inches that came in one day is September we have now had over 20 inches. Still cotton and soybeans in the fields in some places. I know I'll be crying for rain next July, but as for now I wish it would quit.
