I know we aren't as bad off as some. Price farm sounds like he is really seeing the water and from the radar that I have been watching daily, the last couple weeks, Ky and Tn and NC have gotten it even worse than us here. But we are feeling it too. I have never seen so much wet for so long a time as we have had in the last 16-18 months. Feeding is a nightmare, and there is no dry place to calve. Have a couple on the ground, and more ready to start in a week or two. Luckily no heifers this spring. But even the experienced cows can't get them dried off and up to suck fast enough. We went through this last spring and here it is again.
Yes, it beats a drought..... but not by much right now. Only fear is that it might dry up come May or June and then we will be in trouble.
Supposed to stop sometime Sunday, then the wind that I guess those west of here are seeing now. 25-40 mph with gusts up to 60 or so? My son works VDOT, and he had to go out this evening to get a downed tree. It will get worse if the wind hits that hard. There are flood warnings all over and the ground is so soggy that you will sink up to your knees if you aren't careful. He had trouble with the 4wd tractor trying to go out across the hill to feed some hay this evening.
Making me think we might just move our "spring calving up a little more to late March /early April.
