Hey guys,
Just a quick update as there where the hell I've been at. This year I have been dealing with flooding on my farm and it's been occupying a lot of my time. The mad rush is on to get berms, road and a driveway into the farmyard. Lots of red tape to deal with to get these items done. I tried through out most of winter to get things in preparation for the abnormal amount of snowfall that we had this winter but nothing could prepare me for this years run off. The main problem is that the water table is literally just a foot or two below the ground surface and the massive amount of rainfall and snow melt had no place to go. Good news is that the gov't has declared it a disaster zone and as such is eligible for some emergency relief funds (building roads and berms is bloody expensive). Anyways that's the update, I have some older pictures (not a flikr expert so I don't know if I have the settings right) but here are some pics. All the water you see was not there last year and is in places 40 feet deep now.
