On a wet year you can move the water, drain it, or build a dike.

On a dry year, everything that can hold and spray water is sitting full and ready until the snow, as you can't move or drain a fire. The planting tractors sit outside with disks ready to go. You can't "hydrate" your possessions like you can dry your flooded stuff. All you can do is try to stop it and hope you do in time.

Give me mud and tow ropes, you can have the crops that didn't germinate and the fire.


You obviously don’t live in a land full of wetlands and US Fish and Wildlife easements with your comments about just drain the water off or move it out! Around here, if the people that own the land didn’t have enough brains to ditch the land back before 1985, then were pretty much screwed on wet years on those fields, some of our best years and easiest farming happens during the dryer years when we can farm straight through all that crap and actually produce something from it. But those years are few and far between, since I started farming in 1994, I’ve had way more crop loss from excess moisture than not enough. Guess it just depends on what part of the country you live in that determines how you view dryer vs wetter!
