Here in N. TX. I think the Month of May 2015 will go down as the wettest month on record. Nothing has been planted nor harvested here this year. Fields and pastures have been saturated all month since all the rain preceding May and May itself where it has rained almost every day. A week ago the weather forcaster said that where we usually get 7 inches or rain, forget the time span mentioned, surely not since Jan., this year we have 20" and that was before this past week where it rained every day with about every 3rd day being between 1 and 2".
My hay crop is starting to turn yellow having completely seeded out and moving on to the dormant end of life. A lot of it is down, like wheat goes down with weather related problems but it is not a harvesting problem for hay like combining would be for wheat. Going to take a week when the rain finally stops to at least get into the field and at least another to get the crop cured and up. Getting 2 weeks with no rain this year I think will be a total joke.
So it's feast or famine here. Drought or monsoon. Makes no difference from a crop loss standpoint. Glad I don't depend on this farm for my existence. Would be in the soup line for sure.

Here is my story of how I got the pistons out of a 1937 JD B that the engine had been stuck for about 14 years: About 12 years ago my Dad gave me one of the tractors I ran as I was growing up on our farm in central Nebraska. The engine on this tractor, a 1937 John Deere "B", had been stuck for 2 years before he gave it to me. This last spring (1999) I hauled the tractor to our 2 acre lot in St. Libory Nebraska where it joined my antique machinery collection, at that time a 1929 Caterpillar T
