Photo taken on JUNE 16th
These photos were taken as we were trying to
cultivate the fields for planting.... the water is still,
even at this date, in abundance. The only dry
areas of the fields, as you can see, are in the very lightest tan color.
To plant the crop any later in the season, as we wait
for a drying spell,
we would take the risk of it not making it to maturity,
before frost.

NEWS ARTICLE From Fargo Forum
I have also added a new section
to this page called "Sunk in the Mud".
I believe the "farmer" always
has a great sense of humor..as one person who signed our guetbook stated...
"North Dakota is the only place
you can stand knee deep in mud and have dust blow in your face."
Name: Allan Smith
Location: Manitoba, Canada
This tractor is a Ford 276 bi-directional. I was in the hay yard,
trying to level out some deep ruts with the front end loader, when down
it went.
