          You gotta be kidding! And the grain is dry? How many acres do you have left to do?

              I can't imagine dealing with those conditions. We have the exact opposite. Driving through everything with zero risk of getting stuck. Low spots(literal slough bottoms) that were barely seedable and left air cart ruts in them never drowned out this summer, the crop isn't as good as the rest of the field in those spots but they grew grain.

              Be safe

              One day at a time....but that is even a poor start to next year going into spring with excessively saturated soil especially if you're in a typically higher rainfall area. Good luck.

              We got rained out last night about 6:00....and Monday's forecast looks shitty. Got durum out.....grrrrr.

                Have not dared to go through water like that since early nineties following 1980 drought years.
                We have dried up a lot this year but there are still high water table areas where surface is deceiving.
                I know, I know, should not wish for dry years but maybe just a few?

                    The weather forecast for this week is starting to look crappy. Now that we flipped the page on the calendar, is it going to get better or worse. We too have durum ready to rock.
