Rain Rain Go Away. Just like last fall.

There is ice 10 inches down. Fields are not thawed around here. May 10, start seeding is my guess but if some heat materializes maybe sooner.

Some ruts from last fall were being worked out(if there wasn't standing water), prior to last Thursday. Then the frost came out, and over night there was water standing in the yard and out in the fields, where the day before nothing. Roads wet, soft and tons of frost boils. Fields since Friday are now mush, can't even heavy harrow now as you make more ruts than you smooth out(like Braveheart mentioned), before Thursday fields harrowed nicely.
Probably ten days till seeding here, unless you have to be first and like going around extra small spots of standing water. Not looking for any rain,,, maybe midway through planting.

Your description sounds exactly like what has been happening in our area the last week.
