Dave, I wish I had the ability to send you some of ours,, we were reasonably dry till the first of Jan and since then have got what appears to be way more then our share of precipitation,, its really muddy out there now,, no crops going in yet due to muddy fields, as a person who makes a living excavating dirt its getting old! this barnyard slop is hard to shape up into anything that I can sell. and customers screaming at me to get to their project, getting further behind every day. pond has been overflowing for a while now, I had lowered it last summer for some maintenance but shes full now!

Given events in Ukraine and Russia, grain shortages are likely. Sure hope they can get the crops in before much longer!
