    In answer to you wearing your clothes for three day well hold my beer. I spent 10 years in the Navy and three and a half years of that was on a diesel submarine and we couldn't
    make enough water to take showers most of our water that we made was for cooling equipment and for the cooks. We could take a birdbath about every few days, if we did more
    than that you were called a water buffalo. It didn't matter anyway because everything was coated from the diesel fumes. Now the Nuke boats were a lot better there we made enough
    water to where you could take showers unless a still went down. I have a great amount of respect for you guys. You work very hard for us and feed us. Keep up the great work taking
    care of America. I salute you guys. I hope Mother Nature does give you guys a break and my prayers are with you.

    It was interesting and informative and enjoyable to watch.
    The rain is causing a lot of long hours and short nights.
    Everyone hang in there.
    Appreciate your openness about the overall situation with the weather and replanting and what needs to be done. Wow. Can wear a person down.
    How about keeping a change of clothes at the farm for when you stay over a night.
    Randy does a good job of keeping an eye on what can be worked and what can’t. He has a good eye for that stuff.
    Everyone is really working hard trying to get crops in and working around the
    Weather. Oh my.
    Thanks for your honest outlook on farming right now.

Now its nonstop 1 nice day and rest rain and more rain not just rain severe weather and tornados and now flooding. I dont think there is a farmer out there that is going to have a good crop year. So NO you arent alone Chet. It obviously frustrating as you basically live in your tractors come planting and harvesting A LOT of long days and nights, appreciate all you all do to try to even get planted snd now trying to replant. Heck of a year so far is right🥺

    I know that predicting the weather has always been a crap shoot. but they used to be allot more accurate in past years. they actually used to be able to predict with a fairly good percentage if rain was coming. but now days it feels like they put out a 7 day forecast and it changes hourly till it actually happens. I kinda feel like I can tell better if its going to rain just by checking our local radar. back before computer models they had to actually use experience and I feel they lost something now that we depend on computer models to forecast.

BUT two miles up Rt 9 dry as a bone and the rest of the five miles to the house it was BONE dry. I have not mowed the grass here in four weeks .
