Farming activity here in north central Ohio is at a complete standstill.Most all the Midwest is the same.I should have most of the corn crop planted by now but I haven’t been able to do anything-too wet.If this pattern continues for another month,we will be in real trouble.To compound the trouble,a lot of stored grain was destroyed in the major flooding earlier.

Not a single row of corn or beans planted here in Central IN.

Have yet to see anyones garden out yet, either.

We can barely get the time between rains to mow our yards, and those that do are getting stuck and rutting up their lawns.

I’m a “ditchdigger”, and we are finding it hard to find places to keep our guys busy. If not for the mud, it’s the high water levels and water table.

We need a solid week of good drying weather before any farmer can even think about getting out there. Even then, they’ll be farming around wet holes
