Still snow in alot of the fields and they are a plain mess. No way we'll be able to get any equipment into the fields to harvest.

Hunted deer east of Victoria Springs and based on the amount of snow and conditions of the roads and fields I would not say you will be darn lucky to be in there by the end of the week.
Little bucks doing some chasing on the edges, full moon after the snow had them feeding all night and bedded down early from what we saw.

Not just a matter of snow or high moisture content of the corn but what happens to that field when you put a couple of machines in there? You pack it down to a point of having to turn the soil again next spring in order to plant. I feel for the Ag guys right now.
Traveling from Lincoln to Merna and back over the weekend we say 0 harvesting taking place.
