Rain...Rain...Rain.

More rain came last night!  FFS!!

The weather lately has made it very difficult to get the field in order  for planting.  Just when they have a couple days to dry out we get dumped on again.  We have made some progress, but the farm for the most part is still a soupy mess.  When the ground is soft like this you don't want to drive the tractor over it again and again to prevent making everything into a greasy mud hole.  The hay has been collected and a few rows have been made ready for plastic, but we are still a couple full days away from getting all 3 fields to the point where we can start planting full time. 


This is a pic of the hay we've collected off of the planting beds.  Things were really looking good for a couple of days and we made great strides in getting the fields ready.  If Mother Nature would just cooperate for a week we could really be in business!!  Happy Memorial Day!
