I live about 10 miles as the crow flies to the family farm. Around here, things were still pretty dry and guys were planting yesterday and today. At our place, they just got about 3/4" 2 days ago. I managed to get back out there today with the neighbors offset disk to finish going over our new rental ground (was too wet last time so I quit, but it was dryer then than it waqs today) and finished the last few rounds in the rain. Had the duals packed with mud when I got to the road.
Last year hmongs had that field rented and had it in gardens. They hired my brother to till their plots. The only issue is that now it's still beat to a pulp because we didn't get the ground until late April, so we never got to fall plow it. There was absolutely no texture to help it dry out, and it is very mellow soil.
I got stuck 2 weeks ago but managed to get out after unhooking the disk, then just pulled that out with a chain. Today I got stuck again, but there was no hope of getting out. I was going along treading lightly, when all of a sudden the front sank in and I was screwed. Normally I don't go out in the mud like that, but this feild desparately needed to be opened up to breath. What I had done was nice and dry. What I did today was drying down fast. I figure 1 pass with the cultivator and drag and it'll be ready to plant.
Hopefully we don't get much rain tonight, so I can work it tomorrow and get something in within the next day or 2.

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
