Last year, the lack of rain made the wheat harvest difficult if not impossible. This year, farmers like News Channel 6's Farm and Ranch Director Barry Mahler. Have gotten more than enough rain and just want it to stop - at least for now. The situation has led farmers from one challenge, to another.

"That's tough. That's kind of like 'would you rather drop a hammer on your finger or your toes?' That's a tough deal. I always made the statement, 'I can make more money in the mud than I can in the dust." said Mahler.

And this year there's been plenty of mud to go around. Too much moisture has farmers concerned about seeds sprouting. The wet conditions also make wheat susceptible to bending in wind, not to mention the damage possible from even the smallest hail. "Another thing to worry about are these small green weeds, if they grow tall enough could also Jeopardize the crop." Said Mahler.

Farmers don't have much time to harvest this year's crop. If the rain continues, it could mean big losses. The frustrating part is, the crop is good, farmers just can't harvest until it dries out, which could take four to five days of dry weather. However, Mahler says something's got to give, or the losses could be huge. "You got the potential to lose upwards of $200 per acre, with the kind of crop that we got and the kind of market we got. You multiply that over several thousand acres - if a guy is farming that big, it can be a very very big economic loss."

Mahler says this crop season has been fairly normal up until now. He says this time of year farmers prefer the weather to become dry -- something which obviously hasn't happened yet. And if it doesn't dry by the begining of june, farmers will be very unhappy.
