    Sounds about the same here, some got
    finished with a string of good weather,
    I was waiting on quackgrass to spray, so
    that land is still waiting, about 4" of
    rain the past few days. Between the
    wind and now the rain, not many spraying
    days.

    I see a comment about air seeders and
    wet. I still use hoe drills, and if it
    is raining an hour away the hoses will
    cake and plug, I always assumed an air
    seeder being mostly sealed would be much
    better, no? Or do they just blow the
    moist air into the hoses and then you
    have a huge job to unplug them end to
    end? Are they any better?

      And the worst case is ammonium sulfate, so bad we quit using the sh*t.
      Elemental in N blend, no problems in humidity.

        we are lucking out in my small area only got a
        tenth out that last ugly cloud. yet ground is very
        moist and pulling hard was down for a day
        broken the hitch of the seedmaster where it
        hinges to the drill of course had to be the side
        with all the electrical and hydraulic lines. just
        got going again. the new weld on parts from
        seedmaster are better desiegn and stronger .
        forecast here is good till friday now.

              Thats exactly what happened to me yesterday. Pushed it too far in the rain on sunday night and yesterday 7 plugged runs and manifolds were plugged almost solid. Right on the friggin road on choice piece of ground. That'll be nice to look at all summer. But got done before 3 tenths of rain and a pile more on the way, so pretty happy. Now to decide what to do with this ugly w.wht......central MB.

                    I find that if i seed in heavy fog/light
                    drizzle that we don't plug up. But what i
                    do find is that you eventually do pay for
                    it the next day once all that crap starts
                    to break loose for hoses and manifolds.
                    That stuff plugs up in the boots real bad
                    the next day.
                    We finish last night, got about a inch of
                    rain so far today.

                      AB5 the reason this happens is the air tanks now are pressurised, always blowing air in the tank. I got caught in thunder shower and 300 yards caked my tank. Not much but chips plugged my manifolds the next day.
