ParticipantLast night at feeding time my yearling fillies wouldn’t come back across the rain swollen pond. I waded across and tried to lead them, but no go. Waded back to the barn, got some grain, and magically they found the courage. Four trips across the pond for me. That water was cold when it got in my boots!
The rain just keeps on coming. The only people plowing in my area are the Amish, tractors can’t do it. Score one for draft animal power!

ModeratorI had a nice drive out your way on Monday Sean. Took 80 a ways and then Chyle Road out to my friends on Richfield Hill, what beautiful county. I only saw one team out, a nice 4 up of blacks harrowing the family garden on high ground. Wish I had more reason to go that way more often than once a year, it is still picturesque with many small farms. It seems like as soon as I go west of my friends place you start to see the bigger dairy farms like the 2000+ one near Rt 8. Maybe I will try some different back roads next year when I get my seed potatoes.
Keep those boots dry,
Erika

I have noticed the same thing. I have definately been delayed, but my tractor powered neighbors haven’t been able to do anything at all.
