astepup Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 'Sup Ash.....I've been farming for a long time and have no idea about cutting runners off and resoiling. Guess that demonstrates just how farming different crops in other areas of the country can have such huge differences. Hope the family doesn't have too much flood damage.

The Hawk Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Lots of rain here too. Weather man said it is the wettest August in the last hundred years. We got 6 1/2 inches of rain in one day last week. I am not a farmer, but my heart goes out to those whose livelihood depends on the weather. Hang in there.

Walt Longmire Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Raining here on the Kenai Peninsula also. Messing with my fishing. And tomorrow I have to haul DIRT all day. Not gravel, dirt. Hope it doesn't end up being mud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
