Flood update 6-19-2008

So far the farm is dry. I was down there this morning and it had raised only slightly since yesterday. They are still forcasting 39.3' and cresting on the 23rd. Several major levees broke up Hwy 79 at Winfield, Elsberry, and Louisanna. I don't know if it will make much difference for us. It is still above 34.5', which is what we can hold. We will check the forcast to see.

Dave is about to finish planting at Greens Bottom. There is seep water there. I came VERY close to getting the tractor and planter stuck. Because of that we are planting the upper end and lower ends and saving the middle for a while. I took this picture on 6-8 2007. There was only weeds growing there then and are even taller now. We need to get it sprayed.

Wet-Wet Spring,

Love,
