Flooding south of here

[farmaholic]

Even after getting (only?) about an inch and a tenth of rain......I feel pretty lucky compared to the pictures and videos in this thread.....even if came at the worst possible time.

......but I would be lying if I said I never had a knot in the pit of my gut and a disgusted feeling. ....crawling around trying to peel the falling pea vines off the wet ground ....short days(straight cutting).....losing quality....hoping it dries and remains dry......hoping the "Iron Maiden" doesn't get a bad case of PMS.

Yeah.....try to pay me the least as possible for them....because it's so ****ing easy to grow crops. Sooooo little risk, put yourselves in our shoes for a change......maybe you would like to go to work not knowing if you will be paid properly for your efforts. I would NEVER sit on the opposite side of the table having spent my entire life on the production side....NEVER!!!! My conscience wouldn't let me.

Oh yeah, the "market" is always right...silly me!

Raining cats and dogs, need a dry week to get on with pre-harvest fun. Sure feel for those who got dumped on. Every cloud is just sagging with water. Cruise on by, pretty please.

Every time they are called for sever thunderstorms I look to the west, north, east or south they seem to get it. Wow I feel lucky this year. The price I paid for the previous wet years was poor crops last year from wash outs and flood outs from fall seeding crops in fall 2014. Poor crops on some quarters because of the salts getting high. (god I feel like farmaholic farming in the getto.) And yesterday I was changing lumber that prematurely rotted from the years of too much dampness. Somebody tell me the after effects on a grain farm after a couple off dry years?

I also bought a wheel loader in 2010 to fill in my washouts. My hired man is still not done. At least I do not have to look for jobs for him to do.

Yes I feel for those that got dumped on.
