I've seen old wells that have been filled in decades ago slump.
One opened up a hole at least 12 feet deep.

We got one that opened up in our yard as well that's about eight feet deep last summer. Going to have to fill it in soon since it's beside the cattle squeeze. Just got a piece of plywood over it now.

A f*cking CRUEL MEAN joke on lots of farmers, last fall and the shit goes on this spring.
The grid roads are all sponges here too, Highway 35 has a CRATER 17 miles N of Wadena.
Last year #35 craters were NOT repaired for two months!
This is supposed to be SEMI-ARID plains?
Only seen 3 DRY in my 45 years.
Only 2/10" today... with HAIL

Here too...couple of different spots but no more than about 4 feet.

must have been the same driller as the one on mine ,
canola stubble too

[sumdumguy]

Maybe today, but we need a little more than a 15 minute shower. Just about time to get on our knees. It would be nice to have even germination. It would be very stressful to wait until July 19 like we have in the past. 🌧

Wasn't that 2015 Sumdumguy?

I hit one of those perfectly round holes on our canola stubble as well. About 32" round and about 24" deep...perfectly punched out.

It must be some old well. I don't know of any old yards on that piece for at least 30 years or more though...odd.

Hey farma, do you know of old wells in those locations? You had more than one of those holes?

Have you ever seen those occur before?
