Many areas of Minnesota and Wisconsin are 18 plus inches over typical rain fall. Fields are sodden. I'm told farmers are trying to find "rice tires" for harvest. Would horse teams be able to work in these conditions? Just curious.

Here in NE we have more rain than I ever saw before. Haying was hard to get done the ground is so soft you can get stuck really easy, just back up with the baler. You don't want to follow the same track again. there is probably 30+% of the hay ground that is not mowed yet we got more hay than we ever got before. in the dry years one flat we would get 60 bales in good years we got 190 this year we got 190 and did not get it all mowed. It is raining right now it rained last night, suppose to get from 1-4" of snow today. I hope that all of you got enough hay to get you through the winter. We are to haul hay for a neighbor today if we can get to it.
