I had an absolutely gorgeous crop of Millet ready to cut.
A beautiful spring wheat crop....and a top notch safflower crop.
We will see......
I hope your falling numbers stay up. It's been nothing but low dollar feed wheat here. Amazing yields but $3 wheat. Corn to chop but the fields are too soft, wheat left to cut but it's too damp to bin, 2nd cutting alf hasn't even started yet, hay barley bales to haul, bunch of feed pen cleaning and corral work but it's too damn muddy and wet to do any of it! Grandpa used to keep a yellow slicker tied on his saddle. And they suck for getting in and out of the pickup or wheeler and or fixing fence or doing other stuff. Horse back though they work! Yep, thats right. Day to day general work on the ranch is no good for a slicker.
I am MAGA.

Real rain clothes are rubber. Only if you’re not wearing a stitch of cotton. 😉 Back in the olden days, '80s, I don't know how we survived! Because we were kids. Being cold, wet and miserable is fun when you’re a kid but sucks ass as an adult. I can afford good gear and don’t have to suffer foolishness anymore. 😁

C, I have all kinds of Carhartt stuff and my main gripe is none of them are waterproof! Sammy Have you tried spraying them w campdry? Might make them resistant at least Haven't tried that, looking for an all day, stay dry, chitstorm coat. I have a few that will keep you dry for an hour or two but then you're screwed. C, looking at a Filson. It's not one of the trendy gay ones...... For all day campdry ain’t your huckleberry. Bead for a few hours but wet by days end . It seems to work OK for all day drizzle on a wool jacket. But I wouldn't want it snagged on barbwire. And it gives up the ghost after a couple of hours of rain much harder than a drizzle. I ain't a rancher, so if that's the weather of the day, I stay indoors. Standing all day, in a rainstorm, in a fish pond in coastal Central Oregon, or in a stream in SE Alaska calls for rubber. Yellow, green, orange............take your pick. Geno

Filson tin cloth may do the trick for ranching.

82 and? Whatever Illinois amounts to. No offense intended but the moron factor was thru the roof in Missouri! Bunch of damned halfwitts from one side to the other. Potterfield says hi. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/qMj63VTr/IMG-20190928-162223005.jpg) Sorry, Boomer. I do agree. We started hitting them before we even got back here a week ago. I HATE driving here, the most refreshing part of the trip west was the driving... Y’all stay warm up there, we are looking at high 80’s here for the weekend and first part of the week. Frigging summer into October. Like usual. Cannot wait to fly this coop and get me some of that weather y’all got out there.

Filson's tin gear kinda sorta works in the coastal forest, for a few hours...but when you get up in elevation and inland, you expend most of your energy trying bend your arms and legs...it gets so stiff in the cold it is very difficult to move. Timber fallers and chokersetters gave up on it 40 years ago. You see a lot of light tough raingear with wool or synthetics underneath. Usually the top unbuttoned for air circulation and no pants or bibs unless it is snowing or raining hard.
Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

Jim, where does your millet go and what is it used for? Africa for human consumption? Bird seed? Chicken scratch? Sorry about the other two grains too. I hope the snow mostly misses you. So far, only a little graupel , not even enough to cover the ground. Geno

From my experience its hard to find a true 3 layer. Most of the junk now is the 2 layer paclite gortex. I wish tnf still made the original mountain light gortex jacket

So far, only a little graupel , not even enough to cover the ground. Geno Its a German foxtail millet. Was planning to make hay out of it. Millet does not keep well after a frost, not like corn or sorghum sudan grass.

Boomer, To be honest, most loggers can't or won't spend the money for premium gear. They just don't make anything as tough as Grundens that you can move well in, and the premium gear like Grunden's, Hansen etc is heavy as hell. Way pricey, you only see it on fishing boats and tugs. Filson...around 400 a set, and poor performance. Most guys have gone to cheaper knock-off gear that is slick on the outside but the inside looks kind of like the fabric made of ripstop nylon. Tough, cheap, medium weight. Bailey's the chainsaw/forestry supply people carried some made in China I guess. One of the industrial / safety uniform supply mail order houses carried several versions. Sorry, can't remember their Co. name.
