Don't know about all of you, but when we first started getting rain the other week we both thought - good, now we won't be in drought conditions. Now today we are wondering the next time we'll be able to get into the field with the current saturation in the fields, combined with the upcoming forecast. We're turning are focus now to looking at how long it will be till be have water in our basement! What a difference a couple of weeks make.
Have the storms affected your area? We are thankful that we haven't had any bad storms yet, just rain. How much rain have you been getting? When do you think you'll be able to get back into the field?

weve been stopped for a week now, no major rains or tstorms, just enough to make everything wet enough to stop planting.

It is amazing how things can seem way to wet and then all moisture is just shut off! It has been over 2 1/2 weeks since we've gotten rain now. Hopefully we get some this weekend.
Hope the weather is cooperating for everyone else!
