Had my load of logs on order for about 6 weeks. It's been so wet the logger can't get into the woods. He said he worked all of 3 days in April. Looks like I'll be processing in the heat of the summer
Same here for the farmers potatoe country here planting has not been good yet ,lucky for me the field next to and across got planted so I will have tatersfireview2788 said:It's supposed to be great down here this weekend. I feel for the farmers. They were almost completely by this time last year but this year they probably won't have enough growing season to plant corn and will have to do soybeans. Corn prices are high now, $8 a bushel, but if farmers can't get planted then prices will go higher.

They have over the years put some good drain tiles in those fields. I have seen corn go in around here the 2nd week of June.

10 day forecast for our area when I looked this morning called for eight days with rain, guess I'll start bringing a life jacket in the back of the Rhino when I go cutting.
Maybe you better build a raft out of logs

LOL, That pretty well somes it up. Here you get caught in the river (and I have spent many years on rivers) even with the very best equipment your going to be very very lucky to come out alive!

Wood Duck said:This is lousy weather for wood cutting and seasoning, but this spring I moved a bunch of hemlock seedlings from the roadside and spread them around the property for some privacy. I do this every spring and never water enough, so many die each year. This year they are all thriving. I also seeded clover into the lawn to feed the chickens, and it is sprouting and looking good even in the driest parts of the yard. Bad year for wood, good year for transplanting.
