We got the water going down the main ditches over 2 weeks ago. But all my field ditches were in serious need of being plowed. I didn't plow any of them last year. Between cows marching across them, rocks rolling into them, and general sediment build up it would be a challenge to get water to flow down them. Normally I just go down to B's and pick up the plow. Take it back the next day. But his son took it up to a place he rents and left it there. B is a very busy man and especially this time of the year. He finally gets time to go and get it. It has a flat tire. Gets that fixed. He had a couple ditches to plow at his place. Didn't get 200 feet and blew a hydraulic hose. Of course that was on Sunday and every where to get a new hose is closed. So finally today he shows up and plows the ditches for me. Great I can start to irrigate. We just didn't get any rain in April. Things are dry. And just as he finishes it starts to rain. It is supposed to rain hard tonight, all day tomorrow, and into Monday morning..... but as soon as the rain stops I can irrigate.
