Iam hoping it will start doing the same here soon the horse pastures are even worse

 

[mdavlee]

It's real soggy here. 2 days of rain after the ground thawed. Now it's trying to freeze back.

that's not good it'll be like a skating rink again

Ruts are frozen up. Slow movin here.

 

[ajschainsaws]

you all got good wells and deep pipes for the water

 

[mdavlee]

I know of wells as deep as 920'

 

[concretegrazer]

All the farm waterline is deep. Don't know about the line to the house. But I'll let the kitchen sink dribble when it's 0 or below.

Mine were deep. Couple winters ago -15 ,-20 heaved them. Nothing but trouble now. New well and lines when the spring comes.

Had to hand water mine. My pipe running back to them froze. Lots of pushing and shoving up there. They don’t have a lot of patience.

 

[Mastermind]

Gonna be lucky if I have enough hay. This cold weather keeps them standing at the hay ring.

That’s a good source for sure

Most of our lines are only a foot below the plough line so if we did start having heavy prolonged freezing then we would be up a creek without a paddle
