    After all the years of driving around to “look at the water” it was fun to see the explanation of how things run. And, this town girl knew exactly what field he was looking at by the sheer amount of water up to the road. ☺️ 💦 #dougoswife #chetsmom

    Boy, you said it Chet! Mother Nature is powerful! People see storms and the quick devastation and are in awe, but the slow work of flowing water is unbelievable. Water will subside and areas you thought would be fine are completely transformed. Other places you thought would be destroyed will look like they haven't been touched. Don't envy you and Dougo',, and all the folks up north, and your springtime worries.

  • @earlhollar1906
    @earlhollar1906 2 года назад +2

    I grew up as a child on a farm and ranch that my father called Lapland, right on the Stateline between Montana and North Dakota. He considered himself a pretty good fisherman. I told him fishing for brook trout, bullheads , and walleye is a little different than the fish in Minnesota. He didn't have much luck when we would visited my nine uncles that lived there. So his comment was, "Minnesota , the Land of 10,000 lakes and 5,000 fish"! Looks like until the Frost goes out there might be 10,100 Lakes , a few of them being Larson Lakes. We have a similar problem when the ice goes out on the Yellowstone, Missouri, and little Missouri Rivers and Beavercreek. Sometime there are massive chunks of ice sitting on the Farmland until the middle of June. The highway department and railroads would sometimes spread coal dust and fly ash around the piers so it would melt faster. Other years they used Dynamite.!.!.!

    Winter time and snow and ice and water do not mix well. You have a lot lot of water moves in those ditches. Wow.
    Lots more than meets the eye. Be safe!!!!!!
    Good to see Toby. Looks like he is getting around ok. Take care Toby!!!!
    Your fertilizer warehouse is just about full. Wow. Spring is around the corner.
    Nice fix on that old hog house. Great job.
    Great to have Tony Fast stop by. He is a good guy with lots of good Ag type ideas. I must admit I have seen Emma before, but do not know what she goes by.
    If someone knows let me know please. Appreciate that.
    Busy time for all of you getting last minute items ready to go for spring planting. Go get em.
    Great video Chet and Dougo and everyone. You all made my day.

I've been on that hwy where you go from Minnesota to Milbank SD and you see the water run north instead of South. Also it was great to see Tony teaching you guys the fastest way to put the rubber on the wheel. Have you been checking out your dryer so the varments don't eat your wires away. Or set traps.

    My Grandpa used to drive around the farms in the area. He was a farmer when I was a little kid, but my Dad died and with him, our farm. But he used to drive around checking the crops, ditches all that. He tried to teach me, but since the family farm was gone I moved on to other career options. You did it Chet. Good Job. Kate on "Kate's Ag Farm to Fashion" says "egg" too. She is a really cute young female farmer.

  • @donnaparrish7638
    @donnaparrish7638 2 года назад +1

    Our snows melt between the storms here in Oklahoma. So, the water runs down before and if we get another snow. We used to get a lot of snow here with every storm and the temps would stay colder longer in winter. There is still some field flooding in the flats mostly in the bottoms but on a much smaller scale. Thanks for sharing Dougo.
    And beavers? We used to trap them in the bottoms too. Long time ago.

    Chet, Placing the rubbers in a warming box for several hours prior to mounting them will make you life a lot easier. The warm rubber does grow and becomes more pliable. Also try silicon spray on the edge of the wheel. We use both these methodes to install windows it makes a hard days work go easy for sure.

    Dougo, If you lived downstream from Colorado, snowmelt downstream wouldn’t be a problem. Not only do they smoke weed… they hoard every drop of water they can. There’s old pictures of the Cimarron and Arkansas rivers flooding from snowmelt 600 miles downstream but the river beds are dry. You’d be growing corn with well water pumped from the ground to center pivot irrigation and farming in circles.
