    14 day forecast has me nervous.

    Looks poor. Long ways out, yes, but the worst case scenario is shaping up. Any advice from guys if seeding is not possible? Cuz I have lived it too many times before, and I still do not know how to make it work financially. I just want to be better prepared if this happens again. BEFORE it happens...

    Thanks for any ideas.

      Yep here we go again... Hit 25% done. Was just getting nice again. Now water laying everywhere again. Very very tiring.
      Where did the hot dry spring go???

        Burn and disc, that's what I'd do. even here, where we were bone dry for 3 inches, 3/4 inch rain going to take awhile mainly because our seeding outfits are heavy and will need to be pulled through sticky mud. Guess you know all about it. In the 60's when it was too wet, we would drop all discers but one and go with half-full seed tanks just to get it in the ground. Sounds funny now but slimey gumbo can be a beggar when it's wet.

          SDG- I also farm gumbo and it is a b_ _ _ _ _ when wet and a nightmare when dry. Either powder or cement when too dry.

            Guess silty loam with rocks to pick and potholes is not bad at all. Top dries after a rain in sun and wind, never sticky never hard crust. Think I don't want to trade for dry.

                Put it into hay. I'm tired of hearing the same thing from u. Your land is obviously too wet to farm most years and I think your sheep idea is the way to go. Will be a lot less stressful on you.

                  I agree, it is tiring indeed. I am shifting my farm, but am trying to do it slowly. In the interim is where I need the advice.

                  Cotton, I would email you if I could, but I do not know your address...
