So if someone doesn’t mind, wake Ralph up and get him shut the barn door, close the gate or whatever else he needs to do to keep the cold air up north! So far we’ve only had it get cold enough to frost 3, maybe 4 mornings. Of course the extended cold streak will probably help some of the guys cutting soybeans, lots of ruts in the fields. I imagine there will be a couple mornings next week the ground will be frozen enough to make the wet spots passable. Its going to have to get really cold or really dry for me to fix some of the ruts I left last night drilling.

John, that lousy weather came up here from the southwest. A Colorado low 
they called it . Blew in this morning with gusts to 100 K (60 mph) all 
day. Thankfully only a little bit of snow but the highways got icy from 
the freezing rain this morning. So is ugly out there. Ground is frozen 
though so that is an improvement. It is saturation city here as usual 
with mud and water everywhere right up until freeze up.
Planting and field work is just a dream now. It will be cattle feeding 
and snow removal for the next few months here.  That 130 acres of flax 
swath still in my field will have to wait to harvest next spring I guess.
