I planted several fields this year that were far wetter than I"d have liked. I could have waited. I didn"t. As it turned out, the spring got wetter, and wetter. I got all my corn in by the 1st of May, Soybeans out by 10th of June. Both are "target dates" for this area. With the heavy rains that followed, I wouldn"t have done so well. I"m looking at slightly better than average crops for our area this year. Not everyone here is. Might be dumb luck, who knows. With most everyone working on an "economy of scale" farming system now-a-days, you have to go on schedule....ideal conditions or not. This isn"t a hobby. I can"t wait "till next year to get a dry field to plant. If you have twice the amount of equipment you need, and only enough lland to plant it all in a couple days, you can set and wait. Every farmer I"ve ever known that set out a year because of weather, is out of the business. Sometimes you just gotta force the issue. John
