Went from Ohio to Texas this past week and southern ILLINOIS had ruts full of water from a wet fall. It looked to me there going to be in trouble this spring with feild preparation. Missour and Arkansas didn't look much better so it should make for a interesting spring down there way. Also the woodlots looked like a bomb went off in them from a ice storm I am guessing from this past winter it gave you the impression that they were loaded with ice then got a northwest wind and up rooted a lot of timber.
You pretty much nailed it... Ice storm in early '09 ruined a lot of timber. It was also a very wet year and so far it's carried over to this year. The multi day forcast is a bit drier so far.... Here's hopin'.
ScottAR well did it get any better for you guys ? There taking off wheat up here and there still is alot of feilds that arn't planted yet. To late for corn so they took there seed corn back and traded it for beans. It just depends where your at ,it can be poor to good crops alot of rain around here this year . Last year you couldn't bag a rain now it dosen't want to stop. Go figure
