    Rain

    .33 of an inch over the last couple of days. Improving the outlook for a decent start next year.
    I realize its not what some people need or want for this year or even next.

    Over half an inch yesterday and more over night on top of mud and water like spring run off. More tomorrow, snow Wed. Destroying our land, ruining roads. Nearly 20" since mid June. Next year looks bleak already, dry winter and early spring only hope.

      I'm glad you're getting what you need Farmaholic. We're getting rains every day. Haven't checked amounts but it's really adding up. This fall reminds me of 2010 when it kept raining into freeze up, then spring 2011 was a quagmire.

        I'm sure it could get to the point I will think its enough.

        11.19 inches for the year/season. Some of the rains in that total wouldn't have countered evaporation at the time they fell.
        We were in a net drying until about July 20th.

          Long range is saying above average overnight temps. Could be muddy for a while yet.

            1/2 Friday night plus what ever shit we got yesterday.
            Mud is the word. Need to make a round the last field of Oats before were done so that next spring its a easy fire guard and burn. Goal of the fall for 2015.

              Snow melted mostly on Friday. Overnight Friday into Saturday 7 tenths. Last night a bunch more.

              Like FJ says, this is bad. Creeks running.

              Sick to my stomach.

                This is why I don't think anyone should lose out because of the weather.

                You have kept us up to date on your harvest/mud slinging.

                You could have had 100 combines on your farm and I am not sure you could have finished.

                What about a 3 hour window so far to complete it?

                You are the perfect example of why programs should work quickly and effectively based on what's happening not an olympic average of 5 years.

                Still hoping you get it done.

                Honest efforts should not be considered that you should fail and left to the wolves licking their chops to buy you out.

                  Anyone predict a very wet fall ?

                    We have barley as a cover crop on one quarter. We let it grow to about 10" before turning the cows out on it. It's still lush and green. There seems to be great nutrition judging by the very wet manure coming out of them. I think the cover crop is using excess water well and still keeping the ground covered.

                    With the late season and now turning wet, I wish we had seeded some tillage radish on some fields. My American neighbours have have had great success using radish. It really opens up the ground and it's claimed to pull nutrients from deeper soil up closer to our root zone.
