    Not sure what others are dealing with in terms of moisture, but it is ridiculously wet where we are right now. We just can’t seem to get more than 24 hours of dry weather, though the later part of this week is looking better. We went in today with a 20% chance of showers, and came home at lunch, soaked and having not moved a single log to the landing…I am glad I am not making hay this summer!

    It is discouraging in NE CT also. I should have pumpkins and sweet corn in by now, but where they are to go still needs to be plowed, but there has been standing water there for two weeks. We cut straw for bedding because we need the ground to plant corn in. Looks like after today we have a few days to plant, till, chop and hay, I hope that we are able to get a good bit done.

    My garden is suffering as well, with some seedlings rotting in the ground. We just need a stretch of good summer weather, for the fields and the woods. Maybe I should have been an accountant…

    Keep the faith Brad. Hope you have better weather to log in. The dairy farm up the street from-us still has not planted corn yet because the ground is so wet. Looks like drier weather is in the forecast.

    I just knocked down and acre and a half of grass and hope the forecast runs true.

    Thanks for the good word Ed. Hope all goes well with your hay!
