It's rained practically every day here in WNY, up to last Friday.
Even now with almost a week with no rain, I was expecting the ground to be nice and mellow, and the wet spots to be... Wet.
Talked to Dad last night and he's been having a tough time plowing. He says it's like concrete out there. Burned up a set of points on the plow in 15 acres. There are spots where he'll look back and the plow is just scraping across the top of the ground. This is a big heavy 5-16 IH 720 plow. If he tries to force it in, all 5 bottoms trip...
So much for my grandiose ideas of playing with my collection of trailer plows again this spring... They won't even penetrate. Bummer.
Last Sunday there was still water standing in the ruts! At the Elba plow day, it was sketchy going even on the dry ground.
Ironically, it's DRY out there, too dry to plow already!
How's it where you are?
