How long for it to thaw out in the North and any best guesses from those farmers. I know after this round of rain we are probally going to be about 2 weeks from doing anything in the field with no more moisture   and  warmer weather.    How is the lack of fall work going to affect   getting  crops planted this spring . Jon does your weather guy think we will get a window of  dry weather this spring. I looked at my Nov.4 planted wheat yesterday , I am not going to spend anymore money on it. I really believe when when people look at there wheat planted in that time frame they will come to the same conclusion.
