With the continuing rain and already high water, IF, if the forecasts for a very cold and snowy winter come true, next spring will be a redux of the early eighties when lakes were hitting record highs.
If it is like 1965 when a mid spring sub zero snow storm hit followed by quick very warm weather, flooding up here may be the worst in over fifty years and farmers will planting only the high ground at best.
One large field, not large by today's standards but at least 60 acres had deep standing water in it for near a decade before some one unplugged drainage tile.
