Flood Update 6-16-08






I went down today and went to the Other Bethmann's to get sandbags to fill to seal off the driveway. I was hoping to buy some time to get the rest of the equipment out.


Jeanie Bethmann and her son Andy helped me.










We had to move a few implements out yet. The only way in or out is in the Southwest corner of the field on Silvers Rd. We took the pump Dave uses to pump off the fields and the grain wagon. Dave took the pump while I took a small load of corn to St. Peter's elevators in the grain wagon. I then took it up on the hill with all the other implements. We went back to the farm and took off the water pump for the well and got it out. All that was left was the soap, TP, hand towls, a lamp and a cooler with drinking water. Whatever is left there will stay there now.




Here is a picture at 4:56 pm.
Wet-Wet- Spring!
Love,
Mickey
