Another half inch last night. Hay 2019 a total bust. Animals will starve this winter. 20 inches of rain in two months and still have to buy hay from somewhere else. Fortunately I don't have much livestock but am sorry for the cattle guys. A flood is worse than drought. Hay field full of standing water.

Saskfarmer, better get a room at the top of the castle at Disney .... lol
That’s some pretty “flat earth†down there 😂😂

Rubber boots are becoming normal attire here for the last six weeks. Corn is looking decent especially considering how cool and cloudy it’s been.
July 12 it was at his knees and now it’s almost as tall as me. Haying has been a disaster for almost everyone as there hasn’t been three dry days in a row at all. Silaging is slow or nonexistent as trucks can’t get around the roads or fields. Got 1300 bales wrapped in 4 days and couldn’t have made a nice dry bale so the wrapper pays for itself again.
Barley is laying down after all the wind and rain. My brother is thinking of crop lifters for the swather but I think that’ll be too much fun in the hills and rocks since it never got rolled this spring. Life is never dull as normal around here. It’s wet but better than the dry dust this spring.
Good luck everyone and hope for heat and sun. ðŸ€

Crop looks good here as long as the hail stays away and we beat the frost. Trying to get the summer fallow in shape between all the rain showers On the field that tweety said would blow haha

Not intended to offend but WTF seldomseen, I actually need an explanation.
I must be one of those stoopid coffeshop farmers vvalk was referring to.
Why such an even growth across the field and what is it?
When, or will you resort to a glypho app sooner or later?
Summerfallowing in wet conditions must be a bitch, how do you ever get a decent kill without just transplanting or having the weeds in contact with enough moisture to survive.
We farm on different planets, summerfallow ruined more land around here that I care to talk about.
For ****'s sake...the front caster wheels on the cultivator even have dirt stuck to them.

You will also get to learn other new words such as dust storm, black blizzard, erosion, and gully washer, plow layer or compaction layer, and famine.
On the other hand certain words will fall out of use, so you won't really need to increase your vocabulary. Terms such as organic matter, soil microbes, tilth, permeability, continuous cropping and surplus.
But just think of all the life giving CO2 we will be releasing between the diesel fuel and the tillage itself.
