I know most of you live in town and dont get to see something like this very often.Heres what happens to our nations farmers when they get way too much rain at harvest time.These pictures are real and not faked like one guy says.There are lots of pictures all thru the thread.

I farm and have been stuck alot but not quite as bad as that tractor.They say an old creek bed was filled in there some years ago.Lots of rain in NE Missouri this fall made the water table really rise.

Now THAT is what I call stuck!! I buried my JD 9200 in the mud once and had to get a D5 dozer to pull me out but it wasn't as bad as all that. We didn't have rain here from Labor Day through about October 21 so harvest was one big fire hazard.

Been stuck in worse in my back yard

That mud cant even come close to the red mud down here in AL.Weve stuck several front end loaders and 4wd tractors worse.Again,all in my back yard.Looks like ALOT of fun though

Lots of farm land in the Midwest is silty. Saturate it, and it forms a kind of quick sand. We have like 2-3' of soil sitting on top of clay.

What's *nastier* yet is a tractor, or combine during a dry harvest season, if it's not kept free of chaff. They literary can explode into a fire ball. Think of it as a small grain elevator explosion. I was one that looked like it'd been nuked.
