    Running out of Dry Ground!

    Well yesterday confirmed were done for quite a long time.
    First we finished seeding most of higher valley sloping land. Moved to some very nice dirt and couldn't move. Literally couldn't move. Whole field is fricking muddy shit.
    Phoned a few friends last night and all are coming to the reality that we wont get much done before the may long weekend if the weather doesn't change.
    See last night it rained and rained and rained. It started at noon yesterday.
    At best we will maybe get about 3000 to 3500 acres seeded. That's 1/3 of the acres.
    Working on Air Cart attached to straw-master. Blow Fert and Seed at same time. WTF.
    Some haven't even started, NOT GOOD NOT GOOD AT ALL.

              Had an inch of rain last week when the rest of you got a spit.
              Saw some dry hill tops before that.
              No snow on the 30th, no rain yesterday and it's still soupy sticky mud.
              Forecast dry, but never ending COLD on east side of SK!
              Kindersley, SC, NB 17C, us 12C, getting further behind you fellows.

                  Had the blizzard last week. Another 2 inches last night.Basement flooded,instead of finishing my new bathroom down there today but instead I have to rip it apart. Harvested almost no crop last year and didn't finish seeding the year before that. Been fighting in this area for the last 15 years. Have seen it all, except frost somehow.Despite all of this I am one of the lucky ones as there are people that have it worse than I do. Until you start experiencing some of this Sask, quit rubbing salt into the wounds of people who actually have something to complain about, but don't.
