These guys are behind from our terrible spring weather but you think once they saw the 6" deep ruts the sprayer left after preseeding spray they would have avoided that area with their huge tractors...

Here are the sprayer tracks from 2 days before seeding.

The first sign of trouble.

This one is not the best picture, out of focus, but it shows the once stuck tractor now pulling the newly stuck tractor (only happened minutes later) out of the mud. LOL
Obviously wasnt funny to the hutterites but my DH thought it was amusing.
Just last week we were out there picking up his gun shooting range he uses in the winter and we got our truck stuck up to the diff as well, so we knew how mucky it was.

Looks like a Corb Lund song come to life!!
That looks like some real Gumbo. Yuck! I hope it dries up fast and they get their crops seeded and growing. What a year it's been for weather.

Yes does sound like a Corb lund song. LOL
Triple J these are hutterites that own land all around us, DH tried to tell them there were soft spots but just young boys (14-16) running these big rigs so I guess they need to live and learn...
It has been a trying year for them this year, late getting crops in, getting stuck in fields, and their "neighbors" laughing at them. What a Face

I thought that farmers were smarter than that. Especially ones that have been doing it for ever. Oh well not all is lost. There have been some good lessons learned that could not have been taught as effectively in a class room.

We never got caught like that in the spring. Always some farmers that thought they had to get them in as soon as they could but our potatoes were always ready at the same time as theirs.

Did get caught like that in the fall before, when you didn't have a choice but to try and get them out of the ground. Occasionally there were some small areas that just had to be left where they were. Too muddy for the big equipment. We'd go back with a digger later and pick them by hand.

Great thing about memories. They're in the past and you never have to do them again.
